Safety First

Safety Management System

We assess each component of a ski tour individually, which includes going beyond assessing the adventure factor to ensure risks can be managed effectively. In doing so, we look at how we can enhance the original experience whilst remaining as safe as possible. Covering policy, organisation, planning and setting standards, monitoring, audits, and reviews, our SMS is fully compliant with the requirements of the STF. This is reinforced by our annual assessment carried out by an STF appointed independent authority. To support our own SMS we also carry out internal regular reviews of our health and safety procedures. Click here to read our Safety Management System.

SkiBound is able to offer the highest level of financial protection as part of the TUI AG group of companies. We have public liability insurance up to £10,000,000 and are a member of the Federation of Tour Operators (FTO). Party Leaders can rest assured all of our tours are fully bonded by ABTA and ATOL, protecting your group against unforeseen events. Those travelling with SkiBound are required to hold valid and adequate (including winter sport coverage) travel insurance, which we can provide through Fogg Travel Insurance Services Ltd.

Hector Tidd

 "Having recently joined the team after managing the Chalet division of an adult ski company, I am looking forward to returning to wonderful world of School Ski, an industry I enjoyed working in ten years ago.  Happy is the man who is paid for his hobbies.


   Describing myself as a ski enthusiast doesn’t really do it justice, I have spent most of my adult life on the hill or thinking about going. I have worked in the industry for many years, and lived in the Julian Alps for a portion of my life.

 

   My ski travels have afforded me experience of many domains. I have extensively skied The Alps, The Dolomites and The Rockies spending time on many different resorts in each. My years living in Slovenia have solidified my love of mountain life and mountain people. I’m told you either love the ocean or love the mountains, and I hate getting wet.

 

   Whilst I am a competent and enthusiastic skier, I’ll wear my biggest smile whilst strapped to my snowboard.”
