Three WS ski days – three regions, one shared spirit

01/26/2026

We kicked off 2026 together with the WS community with our WS Ski Days. In January, we had the opportunity to experience what makes our collaboration so special on three separate dates: personal exchange, openness to new ideas and a shared passion for skiing. Here you will find a brief review and the best photos from the three WS Ski Days.

Exchange on Equal Terms

In Bad Hofgastein (Salzburg), Engelberg (Switzerland) and at Kronplatz (South Tyrol), we spent inspiring days in the mountains – shaped by movement, personal encounters and many valuable conversations. While skiing together, open discussions about experiences, challenges and best practices naturally emerged. The personal dialogue in a relaxed atmosphere not only strengthened existing partnerships but also created new connections within the WS community.

Shared Time in the Mountains

The mornings were entirely dedicated to skiing. Perfect conditions, impressive mountain panoramas and time spent on the slopes made each ski day a special experience. Whether on the chairlift, enjoying the view or taking a short break – personal exchange happened naturally along the way.

Insights into WS SPORTS and Digital Developments

In addition to the sporting activities, we consciously took time for professional exchange. In a relaxed setting, we presented new features and current developments of WS SPORTS and discussed functions designed to simplify everyday operations at ski schools. Direct feedback from real-world practice is a central part of our further development and helps us tailor our software solutions even more closely to the needs of ski schools.

Thank You & Photo Highlights

Our sincere thanks go to all participating ski schools as well as to our hosts Kurt Fuchs (Skischule Bad Hofgastein), Dierk Beisel (Swiss Ski School Engelberg) and Florian Oberschmied (Ski & Snowboard School Kronplatz). Their organization, openness and warm hospitality contributed significantly to the success of the WS Ski Days.

About the author

Christian Petter

Hardly anyone knows the procedures and processes in a ski school as well as he does: Christian Petter, head of the sales team and consultant for our Swiss customers. He has been a member of the WS team for more than 20 years and was instrumental in the development of the WS Sports ski school software. Christian got to know our managing director Hannes Waldhart during his studies at the University of Linz. There they not only attended some lectures together, but also the odd party. Christian is appreciated by his colleagues not only because of his many years of experience and expertise, but also because he has a good sense of humour and is always motivated and in a good mood during team events or skiing days.
