Founders, Paddy & Mark, were sitting on a chairlift in the middle of a family ski trip, planning all the stuff they had to sort out before they could chill-out and drink a beer…the firewood, the supermarket, the dinner, the picking up the kids… and they set themselves the challenge of coming up with a better way.
You Ski, We Deliver. It’s that simple. We are proud to stock amazing brands like COOK from the UK as well as our own range of locally made Savoyard dishes with everything designed to work perfectly in a ski chalet. Dishes heat from frozen, usually in 30-40 minutes....no shopping, prep or cleaning up. We also have a range of matching wines and craft beers.
You can either order everything before you travel out and we will make sure you fridge is full before you arrive - so that dinner is sorted and there is a cold beer with your name on it.
Or, once you are in resort, you can order for the following day and we will turn up either first thing or in the afternoon when the lifts shut so we dont interrupt your skiing.
You now deliver to EVERY resort in the French Alps – how do you manage that?!
We would like to say it’s all drone deliveries and robots….but the fact is our delivery model comes down to 3 simple things: a passionate and well trained team, hard work and just the right amount of technology.
Do you deliver in any other countries or are you planning any further expansions?
This year is all about France but we are ambitious to go international by next season, with Switzerland the most likely candidate. We will go anywhere hungry skiiers need us!
Is there a particular meal that has proved the most popular so far? If so, why do you think this is?
The biggest sellers are classic family-pleasers like Lasagne, Coq au Vin and Boeuf Bourguignon which are hard to beat after a day on the slopes.
But our surprise hit has been COOK’s range of curries – which have been a sensation among seasonaires who miss this most British of dishes, as well as giving skiers an alternative to cheese.
This season we are also launching our own range of locally made Savoyard dishes and we have high hopes that our Classic Tartiflette will become the #1 dish. It’s a belter!
Why should people consider Huski when thinking about their next ski holiday and their catering options?
I may be biased, but I think our service offers the perfect ski solution: The flexibility and lower prices of self-catering, with the hassle-free indulgence of Catering.
There’s a big swing happening in the industry right now from Catered to Self-Catered driven by rising staffing costs. So if you are one of those people who love a catered chalet holiday but are finding the prices a bit steep, I’d say go self-catered and give Huski a try. You may never go back!
