Weather protection provider Sensible Weather has partnered with resort booking platform Inntopia to provide its weather-related travel guarantee offering at select destinations within Alterra Mountain Company.
Through this collaboration, Sensible Weather will integrate its weather guarantee as an add-on to Inntopia’s booking engine to improve skier satisfaction and drive advanced bookings.

Sensible Weather CEO Nick Cavanagh said: “As an avid skier myself, I know how quickly poor conditions can ruin a day on the slopes.
“We’re thrilled to offer skiers and snowboarders peace of mind, allowing them to plan their winter vacations well in advance without worrying about unpredictable weather—because with a Weather Guarantee, they’re covered.”
The guarantee allows guests at Inntopia’s partner locations to claim up to 100% reimbursement on ticket costs in the event of excessive rain or snow.
Skiers will also be promptly notified via SMS and email if they are eligible for a payout, which will be processed automatically through an automated clearing house [ACH] payment or PayPal.
Inntopia CEO Trevor Crist said: “So many of the incredible resorts we work with have some level of weather dependency. Sensible Weather’s ability to offer extra assurance to resort guests during the booking process is especially timely and relevant for our customers.”
Inntopia provides a booking platform that integrates multiple systems used by resorts, allowing guests to book various experiences in a single transaction.
The platform connects with property management, point-of-sale, tee-sheet, and activity systems to streamline the reservation process.
Founded in 2001, Inntopia is used by major resorts, including Vail Resorts, Alterra Mountain Company, Sun Valley, and Stein Collection.
