What people are saying

• Whistler's SnowGroup, the fast-rising platform that aims to unify the fragmented world of winter sports travel… positions the company to become 'the digital infrastructure layer for the global mountain economy.'

• How many times do you bring your wallet out before you get to a resort? That's the fundamental question — it's not a streamlined process at all right now. If there's a way to do that through one platform — that's huge.

• I just read your post about the origin story for Snowbus and it hit home. I started my transportation company providing rides to local ski resorts… the idea to create a reliable transportation network for snow enthusiasts has never left me. Your approach to building a community-based solution is what I missed — I knew the opportunity was there, I just didn't have the right strategy.

• A Skyscanner board member told us they had been looking at this space for a while, and thought what we're building is very interesting.

• I would love to try it out this winter — I already have my Whistler pass. Would love to see how my experience changes using your app and if I can find that community on it.
