 Poster: A snowHead
|
For years I've read about Easiski/Charlotte and the "Cautious to Confident" weeks she runs for more cautious skier like myself to be with others of a similar mindset/ability. It sounded just what I needed but I could never find the time to go. This year I finally managed to get there and had a great time. After a week I felt my confidence whilst skiing was much improved and I was tackling runs I'd previously have classed as "too scary".
I'd expressed an interest in doing something similar in the summer. So this year she's running a Confidence and Skills Camp from 29th June with six days coaching. The course is being run for people who are able to parallel ski on easy slopes but get nervous on steeper pistes, what she thinks of as between class 2 & 3. There are a couple of places still available if anyone else would like to get some more skiing in before next season.
The skiing takes place on the glacier and "only" until lunchtime which means the afternoon and evening are free to do lots of other activities or just laze about  . You can read more about what to do in Les Deux Alps in the summer on Easiski's website. I've not been to the Alps in the summer before but this sounds a nice mix of a summer holiday but with addition of skiing in the morning. Hoping so anyway.

Wifey did the C2C course in March with Charlotte, and has come on leaps and bounds. She's now asking if she can do the summer one without me!!!???: Me thinks not!! 
Just a note to add onto Peura's post, brilliant teacher, ideal lessons, excellent course instruction. OH has now enrolled on next years course in February 2014.

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

Simon94, she's your wife, not your property. If you're bothered about her being better than you, sign up yourself as well.

Sun here is definitely preferable - you can lounge in the sun in the afternoons here!

A bit late but here's a post holiday report. I had a great time there. Loads of places to ski still, this year right down to 2600m. My skiing is now much improved after easiski's great tuition, it's kind of hard to believe that's me in some of the videos. Still some things to work on, it's there always , but well worth going.
As for the rest of the holiday we had lots of lovely warm sunny days. Warm enough to walk around in shorts and t-shirts and swim in the little pool above Mont de Lans . Lots of folk were sunbathing but that's not really my thing. Sadly I was too tired to take up all the apres ski activities I thought I'd do, e.g. white water rafting, via ferrata, etc. but it was just nice to have some warmer weather.
