Skistar cuts staff – Swedish Dagbladet

Skistar cuts staff – Swedish Dagbladet

But the scant growth of the ski industry still get the company to flag for staff reductions.

The result for the summer months, the last quarter in the company’s fractured fiscal year, were as usual very poor. The slopes are not very attractive without the snow but quarterly loss of 150 million was at least a little less this year than last year. Reservation Mode is for the upcoming season five per cent over the corresponding period last year.

At the same time think Skistars CEO Mats Årjes that it is time to begin seriously to take the consequences of the loss of market growth. The number of skier days at the company’s plants are stable for four years. Skiers simply becomes more and then it must be trimmed. According Årjes may be about the order of fifty employees who may leave the company in the coming year.

– The staff is by far our largest expense item and really the only thing we have to work with. There will be a number of people may leave, it’s about us trying to take the benefits we can from the company, says Årjes.

– Since we are five destinations in the same company and we will try to extract synergies and we see everywhere, so it can be both at the office and out in the field, says Årjes.

But in the short term, for this year’s winter, looks mostly good. Christmas calendar means that only a few extra vacation days can provide a long continuous leave, which usually attracts more guests to the ski resorts.

– Not just Christmas but Easter is very well positioned, so we have pretty high expectations for the This season, from this perspective, says Årjes.
