Hi,
I'm a confident skier looking to get a lesson in Tignes to try to rein in my wild technique which I've developed in the last 8 years since I had a lesson!
Can anyone recommend a good school or coach in Tignes (I'm heading out on the 19th Jan).
Thanks
Nango

I recommend TDC - did a ski clinic with them a few weeks ago, a real focus on technique and very enjoyable. Clinics run in small groups with no more than 6 at a variety of levels/abilities.

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

Hi nango, I've used Evolution 2 and been impressed. I think quite a few snowheads have recommended them and their Tripadvisor reviews are positive.

TDC or Mountain Masters - both good.

I used ultimate, less serious than the other recommendations I think, more of a 'learn through play' approach, with useful video coaching.

Have used both TDC and ultimate Snowsports and would highly recommend both. Ultimate are a bit cheaper from memory.

Have used TDC and NewGen, both were excellent.

+1 for Evolution 2 - we've used them for group lessons for the last 5 yrs and they've been excellent

I have used both Evo2 and TDC. Both are excellent. TDC is a bit more expensive but guarantees smaller groups and all instructors are native English speakers. Gavin is absolutely first class and Sarah is fantastic although I am not sure she is working this season. Evo2 instructors are typically French (who would have expected that in a French resort?  ) but their level of English is not an issue, at least for any I have skied with. In the end I think it comes down to which one best fits your plans regarding timing etc.

Thanks very much for all your help guys! I'm sure I'll get sorted with one of those. Fingers crossed for a bit of snow between now and next week!

You know it makes sense.

+1 for Ultimate. Really excellent and perhaps cheaper than some of the others for similar quality.

Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:

+ 2 for Ultimate. Booked 2 technical lessons with them last Feb. Simon did lead us astray and introduced us to off piste due to the amazing conditions, but glad he did.
I have also used TDC and NewGen for our kids (about 12/15 weeks ski-ing) and been very pleased with them.
Think it may come down to availability.
