WeSki is designed to offer users easy-to-book personalized ski packages using the WeSki app. As part of its service, WeSki offers ski resort reviews, prices, forecasted snowfall, and detailed information on ski tracks.
“As someone who for years faced great difficulties while trying to book ski vacations that would suit my needs, I dream of assisting people everywhere to easily build their personalized ski vacations,” Yotam Idan, WeSki co-founder and CEO, said in a statement. “I believe that this startup could change the way skiers book vacations.”
