Winners were voted for by Ski Club members or were determined by Net Promoter Score, a type of satisfaction survey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The award winners for 2019 are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Best Tour Operator or Travel Agent: Ski Safari<br>\nBest European Resort: Wengen<br>\nBest Rest of World Resort: Whistler<br>\nBest Retailer or Equipment Store: SportPursuit<br>\nBest Airline: British Airways<br>\nBest British Airport: Edinburgh<br>\nBest GB Snowsport Male Athlete: Dave Ryding<br>\nBest GB Snowsport Female Athlete: Jaz Taylor<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In all categories there were a couple of additional commendations awarded. For airports, Bristol and Manchester joined  Edinburgh, whilst our favourite airlines after BA were Swiss and Easyjet. I have some reservations about celebrating airports and airlines given their environmental impact, so I think it was a shame there were no awards celebrating contribution to the environment, but perhaps there will be next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The top three resorts were Wengen,  Val d\u2019Is\u00e8re  and Zermatt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ski Club of Great Britain\u2019s Industry Awards took place last night at the Sea Containers Hotel in London, celebrating achievements in the ski industry and providing a wonderful opportunity to mingle and enjoy the after-awards party.
