Gail Lingo, West Jersey Ski Club

Jo Ann
Thanks again for a spectacular cocktail party. Each year seems to get better and better!

You are loved by everyone as was obvious when the applause was heard. You treat everyone like they are your only client and that is why so many keep coming back to JP Tours!! Keep it working lady, whatever you do.

Thanks for the beautiful roses. Another amenity from JP.

Ed Plasky, Gentlemens Ski Club

Thank you for another wonderful event. We enjoy all our dealings with you and hope to continue for many more quality years with JP Tours! You're the best in the industry!

Bruce Bowman, Black Diamond Ski Club

Thanks for another great opportunity for us to get together with other ski clubs! I truly appreciate our friendship. I am proud to know you.

Beverly Chisdock, Scranton Ski Club

Can't thank you enough for the planning two great trips at such great prices. You're personal service has surpassed expectations and your insight of what our club likes and the ability to provide it makes you an integral part of our trip planning process. Look forward to working with you in the future...

Michael Cubbins, Crude Dude Ski Club

• JP Tours (owner and founder, Jo Ann Pieretti) has always been professional and prompt with their quotes for our group.  The price is always competitive and our special requests are always addressed.

• Our experience with JP Tours has always been top-notch, that's why after 25 years we keep coming back.  Personal and professional service and attention to detail is what separates JP Tours from the rest of the pack.

• Anyone can give you a good price.  Anyone can issue you tickets.   It's when your group encounters trouble and changes that a good agent earns their keep,

Stewart Vockel, The Union League of Philadelphia Ski Club

I have always been extremely pleased with the service that I have received from Jo Ann and JP Tours.  Over the last 20 years I have had the pleasure of working with Jo Ann as a trip planner for two very different ski clubs.  Her knowledge of the ski travel business is exceptional and her ability to adapt to fast changing situations has saved the day numerous times.

I highly recommend JP Tours for ski groups of any size and make up.

Sincerely,

Stewart Vockel
Chairman of The Union League of Philadelphia Ski Club

Bruce Bowman, Black Diamond Ski Club

We have worked very successfully for over 15 years with Jo Ann and JP Tours to plan our western ski trips.  We are a smaller club with 20 to 28 normally making our trips.  Jo Ann consistently works with our trip leaders to assure a great trip even when our numbers are less than we would like.  JP Tours thorough planning and help with marketing have consistently been top notch.  Jo  Ann has always been there for us.

Sincerely,

Bruce Bowman

President, Black Diamond Ski Club

Mark Hughes, Penguin Ski Club

Hi, I am with the Penguin Ski Club and in the last 3 years have begun to run trips to western ski resorts.

I have had the pleasure to do this through JP Tours.  Jo Ann makes planning these trips easy.  She and her staff put together packages that take all the guesswork out of running these trips.

The amount of skiers traveling with us keeps growing as word circulates that we are having a great time and everything runs smoothly.

Thanks Jo Ann!
Mark Hughes

Sally Price, Main Line Ski Club

We have used JP Tours for our ski trips for more than 15 years now.  We have found them to be the very best in meeting our needs for the trips we have run.   And Jo Ann is always of great help when the worst happens  and you need to re work your flights out or back!  Would never run a trip without her and JP Tours behind us!  

Sara Walls, Fall Line Ski Club

I wanted to thank you for all your hard work for my Jackson Hole trip.  When everyone started hoping for snow I don't think they meant for it to hit the Philadelphia area and delay our trip.  I can not imagine what I would have done had it not been for you!  Your proactiveness saved the trip.  You were right there for me, just a phone call away to calm my fears and take over and get us booked on another flight to get us out & skiing as quickly as possible.  I can not imagine what it would have been like had I been dealing with another tour company.  Would I have even been able to get anyone on the phone?  Would they have been able to get us re-booked?  Thank goodness I did not have to worry about that on top of everything else!!  Before I agree to run another trip I will always ask the question, what  tour company are we using?  If the answer is not JP Tours then I know they can count me out!   

Thanks!

Michael J. Howley, President, Crude Dude Ski Club

JoAnn, I just wanted to thank you for helping set up one of the best ski weeks we've ever had.  The lodging at Telluride Mountain Resort were amongst the best ever and we have plenty to compare with over 27 years of ski trips. 

It never hurts to have some of the best ski conditions ever with a very deep base and several nights of 3 to 5 inches, perfect temps and no one on the mountain for almost the whole week.  I don't know how they stay in business but don't care. 

Finally, my group of 4 ended up in the best stand-alone building in the complex and is, in fact, the unit they use in their advertising.  It was actually a 6 bedroom unit with 4 baths. 

In summary, you make it look easy and I am very glad that Danny and I got out here in Dec of 2006 to see this place and the improvements made at Telluride.  I skied for 6 days and we all had a total blast.  This one will be on the short list for a return visit.  I would recommend this to any group.  Thanks again. 

Sara Walls, Fall Line Ski Club

Dear JP Tours: 

I just wanted to write you a quick note of thanks!  We attended a reception of yours about a year ago and lucky us, we won a prize.  We won 3 nights lodging at Kandahar resort in Whitefish Montana.  A friend of ours, attending the same reception won 3 nights lodging at Grouse Mountain in Whitefish Montana.  Both prizes came with 2 days lift tickets.  We obtained the Grouse Mountain package from our friend and made a weeks vacation out of the prizes.  The hotel did everything in its power to make you forget you were not in the center of the action.   Everything was so conveniently accessible with continuous complementary shuttle rides to/from the mountain and elsewhere.  There was also  plenty of non-skiing activities 

While our time at Grouse Mountain was short we were looking forward to our few days stay right at the mountain.  Kandahar offered a continental breakfast and the ski in location that could not be beat.  The best thing at the hotel was an on site chair massager for the low, low price of $10 per 10 minutes.  The best $10 I have ever spent!  The mountain had plenty of skiing to keep us both enjoying every day at the mountain.  There were nice blue groomers and a few awesome black mogul runs.  Not only did the mountain make us want to come back but, after visiting the park and surrounding areas we feel we may have found a future summer spot!  

Thanks again for the opportunity to visit a beautiful place.   Maybe we will be lucky again if given the opportunity to attend this year’s reception.  Hope to see you soon.  

Thanks,

Bob Smith, Winter Carnival Co-Coordinator, Eastern PA Ski Council

With two Western trips of 330 people behind us, and our upcoming trip of 500 people, the last thing we have to worry about are the details.  Big or small, JoAnn will have them covered!

Sara Walls,    Fall Line Ski Club

I just wanted to say thank you for putting together the EPSC Breckenridge trip.  The accommodations were great.  The staff was very nice and the hotel was so close to the mountain!  The weekly events were so much fun.  It really got the whole group together.  That must have been a big deal with over 500 people from all different groups going for the week but, you made it look easy.  I definitely will run another trip IF I KNOW that your company is
getting the bid.  You make the job a lot less stressful!  I look forward to working with you in the future. Thanks again for all your hard work. 

Dave Schoneker, Eastern PA Ski Council

I must agree with Bob.  We have had nothing but success so far in working with JoAnn Pieretti.  She has been great to work with and, as Bob says, always takes care of the details so we do not have to.

Bruce F. Davis, Snowbound Ski Club

JoAnn is wonderful to work with, and gets us to places we want to go!  She provides top rate service and is very knowledgeable about the both the travel and ski industries.  She has many contacts to draw from, and her easy going nature makes doing business with her more enjoyable.  

Suzanne Hartley, North Penn Ski Club

Working with JoAnn has been nothing but a wonderful experience. I was a novice trip leader leading a group of 38 seasoned travelers to Telluride, CO and I seemingly had a million newby questions. JoAnn took the time to answer all my questions, address my concerns and worked unendingly with our land contractor to address some special accommodations. She was enthusiastic, timely, and offered some great options that allowed my trip package to not only be cost efficient but flexible enough to meet everyone’s needs. This year our club is running a trip to Salt Lake City, UT. I was hesitant to take over as trip leader until I knew that the trip would be booked through JP tours. I am looking forward to another great trip and many more.

Mike Pepe, Merck Ski Association

JP Tours is a GREAT resource for planning a group ski trip! From start to finish the service JoAnn has provided while planning my group's trips has been unsurpassed. I know I can count on her knowledge of the ski areas, lodging properties, and activities available at each resort to make each experience a wonderful one. If a problem arises on the trip, she's there to "bail us out" of any situation. No detail is left to chance - I could never do it myself!

Diane Kae, South Jersey Ski Club

I have lost count of the number of trips I have run through JoAnn, but I haven't lost sight of why - it's her experience, and attention to detail, which is first class! JoAnn has the answers before you have the questions. The difference between an average trip and a destination vacation for your group is in the details and that's where JoAnn shines. She's been there, she knows the areas she represents inside out, when she makes a recommendation it's from first hand experience. I can concentrate on the fun stuff because I know Joann is dotting "i's" and crossing "t's" to fine tune the trip and insure a smooth and full ski experience from ground transfers to après ski, and everything in between. I have worked with other vendors and there's no comparison.

Geoff Smith, Ski Director, South Jersey Ski Club

JoAnn really shines when there is a problem. Most vendors look alike when you see their proposals but when there’s a problem with rooms, flights or anything else, that’s when you can tell the difference and that’s when JoAnn works the hardest to come up with a solution. That’s one of the many reasons South Jersey Ski Club has worked with her exclusively over the last 5 years on each of our 3 annual western trips. Highly recommended.

Beveryl Chisdock, Scranton Ski Club 

Hi Jo Ann, Great to hear from you.  Scranton Ski Club had a great time at Breck and I can't thank you enough for putting another great trip together.  It's easy to run a trip with you.  I hope the EPSC never changes.  Thanks again.  

Carolyn Esch, Susquehanna Ski Club 

Hi, Jo Ann, Thanks!  We had a wonderful time!!!  The skiing was great.  It was nice working with you as well.  And thanks.  Everybody said that I did a great job and it would be nice to work with you again someday.  Thank you so very much for all your help.  This was a new experience for me, and I am glad you were there to help me out.

Larry Kirschner, North Penn Ski Club 

Everyone had a fine time, and your preparation made everything run smoothly....I didn't hear one complaint all week!
