Start with the big costs first
A ski trip has a handful of large shared expenses — accommodation, lift passes, airport transfers — and a stream of smaller ones (dinners, drinks, equipment hire). Get the big bookings into the plan first so everyone can see the per-person cost before they commit.
Add the chalet or hotel
Record the accommodation with dates, cost and confirmation reference. Troupe splits it across the group automatically.
Track lift passes and equipment
Add each cost as it comes in. Balances update in real time so nobody loses track of who paid for what.
Plan the journey
Flights, transfers, car shares — put them all in the itinerary so everyone knows when to be where.
Share a packing list
Thermals, goggles, sun cream, ski socks. A shared list means fewer panicked messages the night before departure.
How to use Troupe for a ski trip
- Create the trip — give it a name, dates and destination. Troupe sets up the itinerary, expenses and packing list automatically.
- Invite the group — send a link through Messages, WhatsApp or email. Nobody needs a Troupe account to join.
- Add bookings as you go — chalet, flights, transfers, restaurant reservations. Everyone sees the plan update.
- Log expenses — whoever pays just adds the cost and selects who was included. Balances recalculate instantly.
- Settle up — after the trip, Troupe shows the fewest transfers needed. Send payment links directly from the app.
Why Troupe works for ski trips
Ski trips involve a mix of pre-booked shared costs and spontaneous group spending. The organiser usually fronts the chalet deposit and spends the rest of the trip chasing payments. Troupe makes the running total visible to everyone, so the conversation shifts from "you owe me" to "here's the balance."
Because Troupe works offline, you can check the plan and log expenses even when the mountain Wi-Fi drops out.
Frequently asked questions
Can I split costs unevenly?
Yes. You can split any expense equally or set custom amounts — useful when some people skip a day of skiing or join late.
Does everyone need to install Troupe?
Invitees open the shared trip through iCloud. They can collaborate without buying Troupe Pro themselves.
Can I use a different currency?
Yes. Set the trip currency to euros, Swiss francs or whatever your resort uses.
