The company has been in existence for 21-years and has taken 80,000 people to the mountains, plus employed more than 500 staff. Ill health of a director is the reason.
“After 21 years of operating Mountain Heaven unfortunately it is now time to say goodbye,” said the company on social media.
“Despite Brexit and Covid we survived and thrived over the last 21 years.
“We were looking forward to many more winters doing what we love.
“However, fate had a different idea, following a diagnosis of a significant medical issue in one of our directors, we unfortunately have decided that we cannot continue to operate Mountain Heaven.
“So we are now closing this chapter of our lives and wish all of our fantastic working partners, employees and clients all the best for the future and maybe our paths will cross again on the mountain.”
The directors, Nick and Vicki Williams, are great friends of us here at PlanetSKI and we wish them all the very best for the future.
They supported PlanetSKI in our early days and we remain grateful to them both.
Others in the UK ski industry have reacted.
“End of an era, but most importantly you look after yourselves, keep well and be happy,” said Dan Fox from Ski Weekends.
“You have made thousands of people happy.”
Former staff and clients of Mountain Heaven have also reacted:
Pete Laverty: “So sad to read this we had the most amazing season in 1800 and have the fondest memories, I was only recommending you today! thank you for the opportunity to work in such a fantastic environment. Wishing you both well and sending love xx”
