For those of you who are keen followers of Zoombu, you will have seen that this week has been a busy one for our team.  We have just opened a mini version of Zoombu to the public, in the form of Zoombu Ski.

This side product has the functionality of the main Zoombu service, but a subset of the coverage.  With Zoombu Ski you can find the best end-to-end way to travel from your home in the UK to a resort in the French Alps.  We search a range of modes of transport and will pick out the cheapest, fastest or greenest end-to-end route for you.

With Zoombu Ski we want to find out what you the users like, don’t like and want to see improved about Zoombu. We are very keen for your feedback on the product and we listen to all of it.  We meticulously log, debate and prioritise all of the points raised and this directly influences the product development plan.

Search speed is something that many of you have raised as important, and we are working on this as we speak.  Shortly the Zoombu search will be noticeably faster.  We’re also just about to add coverage to a bunch more ski resorts so look out for this in the next few days.

For those skiers amongst you, if you haven’t had your powder fix for the season yet, or you could be tempted to take another trip, then run a Zoombu search to find the best way to get to the slopes.  There are some bargains to be had: we found a search result for door-to-door transport from Oxford to Chamonix over a long weekend in February for £100 including a flight out of Luton.

Happy planning!
