Winter 2026/27 season readiness
IS YOUR MOUNTAIN READY FOR WINTER 26/27?
The stack you choose this summer decides how you price, sell and welcome guests all winter. Spotlio takes ski resorts from signature to selling in one season, on one platform built for experience operators.
July — August
Scope the season together: products, pricing strategy, integrations and content. Your project owner meets your Spotlio team, and the plan for opening day is locked.
September
Commerce flows, dynamic pricing rules and resort content take shape while Spotlio connects your existing ticketing, POS and access systems, no rip-and-replace.
October
Your team learns the console on real scenarios. Storefront, app and pricing run end-to-end in parallel with your current setup until everything checks out.
November
Cut over with confidence and start selling. From day one you watch demand, adjust prices and manage the season from a single platform.
The readiness checklist
Six things ready mountains have before October
Walk through the list with your team. Every box you can't tick today is revenue you leave on the mountain this winter.
- Pricing that follows demand
- Forecast demand and let rates respond to it, with floors, ceilings and guardrails your revenue team controls.
- One commerce flow for everything
- Lift tickets, rentals, lessons, lodging and packages in a single cart, built to upsell and to convert.
- An app guests actually use
- Live conditions, maps, wallet and push engagement, your mountain in every guest's pocket all season.
- Live maps, webcams and conditions
- Interactive maps and real-time mountain data that keep guests informed from sofa to summit.
- Integrations already wired in
- Axess, Skidata, Inntopia, payments and more, Spotlio connects to the systems you already run.
- Numbers you can act on
- Sales, demand and guest behaviour in dashboards built for daily commercial decisions, not just reporting.
Client proof
Mountains that made the switch, and what happened next
Three resorts, three starting points, one platform.
Saddleback
Online sales revenue soared after switching to demand-based dynamic pricing, without losing guest trust.
Gausta
Five seasons of partnership powering the destination's website, commerce and guest experience, and counting.
Aussois
A hidden gem transformed into a thriving ski destination with a modern digital storefront.
Before you ask
Straight answers for a tight timeline
The questions every mountain asks in July, answered without the sales gloss.
- Can we really be live for opening day?
-
Yes, if we start before the end of September. The timeline above is the real cadence Spotlio runs with resorts every season: kickoff in summer, configuration in September, testing in October, live in November.
- We already sell through Axess, Skidata or Inntopia. Do we have to change?
-
No. Spotlio connects to the ticketing, POS and access systems you already run, including Axess single sign-on, SwissPass and Inntopia, so guests buy in one place and your operations stay untouched.
- How much of my team's time will this take?
-
One project owner and a weekly check-in. Spotlio handles configuration, content migration and training, your team stays focused on preparing the mountain, not on the software project.
- What happens to our current website and app during the switch?
-
Nothing, until you decide. Everything is built and tested in parallel with your current setup, and you cut over only when it is verified end-to-end. No mid-season surprises.
- Is dynamic pricing a risk for guest trust?
-
Not when it is done with guardrails. You set floors, ceilings and product whitelists, and guests already expect demand-based pricing from flights and hotels. Resorts like Saddleback grew revenue while keeping loyal guests on board.
