Hotel revenue management consulting is an independent review followed by a plan. I look at 12 to 24 months of your own data, shop your comp set, and find where rates, restrictions or channels are costing you money. Unlike outsourcing, I do not make your daily decisions; your team does, with a better plan.
This is my view of Killington. Killington has one of the longest ski seasons in the East, and the Killington Cup World Cup races over Thanksgiving weekend open it with a spike. Holiday weeks and weekends drive winter, October foliage adds autumn demand and summer bike park visitors help. Mud season is very quiet.
For Killington owners I look at the full winter grid, how holiday weeks and weekends are set, and what happens to the house in mud season and summer. Then I build a plan that captures ski demand properly and gives the quiet months a realistic target.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Killington.
A review of the last 12 to 24 months: pricing decisions, rate architecture, restrictions, channel mix and cost, comp-set position, pace and the systems behind them, with every gap ranked by value.
Base rates and floors per room type, BAR levels tied to occupancy and pace, seasonal and event calendars and restrictions, written as a 12-month calendar your team can run.
Which channels to sell on, at what rate and with which promotions, so the mix protects margin: OTAs, corporate, wholesale, metasearch and direct.
A demand forecast, an annual budget, weekly pace reports and a workshop for your team, plus honest advice on revenue systems before you sign for one.

Weekends and the February and March school-vacation weeks carry the season. I hold two-night weekend minimums, lift rates after big storms, and use midweek discounts for ski-week families from New Jersey and Connecticut.
Spring skiing can run late on the upper mountain, so I keep weekend rates up while the lifts spin, then drop to mud-season floors the moment the trails close and the roads soften.
The bike park, golf and hiking on the Appalachian Trail bring a smaller summer crowd. I allow single nights midweek and price downhill bike weekends a step above ordinary summer dates.
Foliage weekends sell to leaf-peepers touring Route 100 and Woodstock. I set two-night Saturdays and price Columbus Day weekend as the autumn high point.
Early snowmaking opens a few trails before Thanksgiving, when the Killington Cup weekend becomes the month's spike. I keep the other November nights modest and flexible.
Christmas to New Year is the top week of the year. I open it early with a five or seven night minimum and keep weekends before the holidays firm for early-season skiers.
Price the Killington Cup weekend in late November as a premium.
Price Christmas to New Year and Presidents' Day as the top ski weeks.
Use 2-night weekend minimums in ski season.
Price October foliage weekends.
Lower mud-season floors.
Performance has flattened
RevPAR is stuck while the market around you moves on.
Opening, renovating or rebranding
A new positioning needs a pricing and distribution strategy built from scratch.
An owner wants a second opinion
You need the operator's numbers checked by someone outside the hotel.
You have a team but want a better plan
Someone prices today and wants an audit, a calendar and training.
Thirty minutes on your property, your market and where you think revenue leaks. I scope the work and confirm the price before starting.
With read-only access to your PMS, channel manager and extranets I analyse the data, shop your comp set and talk to whoever sets rates today.
A written report and a working session: the gaps ranked by value, the strategy to close them and a 12-month calendar.
Step 4
I can set the strategy up in your systems, train your team and check in monthly, or run it for you as outsourced management.
Every engagement is fixed-scope and fixed-price. After a free discovery call you get the scope and the price in writing before any work starts. Training days and monthly check-ins are quoted separately.

Alaa helped me optimize my PriceLabs settings for my Airbnb listing and was very helpful and patient with answering any questions I had. He was also able to clearly explain why he made the changes he made, and it was obvious that he had a lot of experience in this field. I will definitely be back!

For hotel revenue management consulting, that is where my audit begins, because a finding here changes every recommendation after it. Whether the home is registered with the town and how its occupancy limit compares with the bed count advertised, since large ski groups book by headcount.
Busiest in Killington: December to March for the East's longest ski season, spiking over the Killington Cup World Cup weekend and holiday weeks, with October foliage alongside. December: Christmas to New Year is the top week of the year. I open it early with a five or seven night minimum and keep weekends before the holidays firm for early-season skiers. January to March: Weekends and the February and March school-vacation weeks carry the season. I hold two-night weekend minimums, lift rates after big storms, and use midweek discounts for ski-week families from New Jersey and Connecticut. For hotel revenue management consulting, my audit tests whether your current rates and restrictions capture these windows, and the 12-month calendar I hand over sets them in advance.
Ski-season and holiday-week premiums with minimum stays, World Cup surge pricing, and shoulder-season rates that bridge two deep mud-season lulls. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Killington calendar before I make it. October: Foliage weekends sell to leaf-peepers touring Route 100 and Woodstock. I set two-night Saturdays and price Columbus Day weekend as the autumn high point.
Holiday weeks and weekends drive winter, October foliage adds autumn demand and summer bike park visitors help. Mud season is very quiet. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Killington.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number.

I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
