 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all,
A while since I last posted as we've been having hot summer holidays for our annual foreign trip, but I'm hoping to go skiing again next year.
Our biggest restriction is budget and school holidays as my wife is a teacher.
I've been pricing up a trip Tues 7th April- Tues 14th April in Tignes to take advantage of the cheaper midweek flights.
My lad is 7, has only had one ski trip before when he was 4 so would really do with getting on a group kids lesson.
Is anyone aware of a ski school that allows kids to join/start group lessons mid-week? We really can't afford individual tuition so this could be the make-or-break...

IME. With Evo2, they are unlikely to want him to join a group that started with kids of similar experience to your lad, as they will have progressed and he will have been left behind. I experienced this with someone in my Party who was in a Beginner Snowboard group lesson and missed a day or two due illness. They wouldn't let him back as he would be too far behind, but put the balance to Private lessons.
However, it is possible they would let him join a Beginner class, as he has had some previous experience, so shouldn't take as long to catch up. I would contact them before you go and discuss it.
ESF might - but no experience with them.....However I don't think it's fair on the other members of the class if they are held up by someone joining midweek.
Worst case scenario is to spend what group lessons cost, on some private ones.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

If it was me I would just book in a couple of privates first two days (similar cost to a week of lessons) and then ski with him the rest of the time. With a week already under his belt he could make rapid progress in a couple of privates.
There would be no ski school on the Saturday anyhow.

My thoughts exactly.
You put yourself out a bit in the early years, so they can overtake you when a teenager.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.
