## Prerequisites

Connect to the LUXSKI MCP server: `https://www.lux.ski/api/mcp`

## Workflow

1. **Snow context** — `get_snow_report` for top destinations in the preferred region
2. **Deals scan** — `get_deals_by_resort` or `get_last_minute_deals` if dates are within ~2 weeks
3. **Hotel shortlist** — `search_hotels` filtered by resort, stars, ski-in/ski-out
4. **Details** — `get_hotel_details` for top 2–3 picks
5. **Live pricing** — `get_rates` or `check_availability` when dates are known
6. **Book** — `create_booking_session` → send traveler the `checkoutUrl`
7. **Complex trips** — `request_concierge` for groups, multi-resort, or bespoke needs

## Output format
