With skiers dreaming about the fun of powdery snow and thrilling runs down black diamond slopes, it’s time for winter resorts and other seasonal services to start getting ready for guest arrivals. Renting or buying two-way radios (walkie-talkies) for your winter resort communications is an important consideration in your preparation.
One important thing resort managers need to consider is communications strategies. Two-way radios provide many attractive options that boost team collaboration, enhance guest services and improve safety both on the slopes and in the lodge.
