WeSki, founded in 2015, operates an online marketplace for ski holidays. Its platform aggregates inventory from thousands of suppliers - covering flights, accommodations, transfers, lift passes, equipment rentals, and ski lessons - and lets users assemble and book fully customised ski trips through a self-service interface. The system evaluates millions of trip combinations in real time to identify components that work well together, handling the logistics of connecting disparate supplier inventories dynamically.
The platform covers 315 ski resorts across 21 countries and generates approximately $100 million in annual sales. The core technical challenge involves combinatorial optimisation at scale: matching and ranking viable trip configurations across a large, constantly changing supplier inventory, in real time, for a self-service user experience.
The engineering scope spans several interconnected domains:
- Real-time inventory aggregation and supplier connectivity
- Combinatorial search and optimisation across millions of trip permutations
- Booking engine and transaction infrastructure
- Web and mobile UX built for self-service, without manual assistance
WeSki describes itself as a disruptive force in traditional ski travel, with a team drawn from both the technology and ski industries. The company's stated approach centres on applying modern software to a travel vertical that has historically relied on manual planning and intermediaries.
