Poster: A snowHead
|
Would welcome any ideas from members who know Serre Che really well. Am taking my god daughter, who is just 13, for her first ski trip, and want to put her into ski lessons ( if I try to teach her, it will end badly!). The problem is that groups are either children (up to 10 or 11) or "adults", and having been a beginner myself as an adult, surrounded by my teenage school parties, I know that teenagers progress so much more quickly than adults! I don't want to leave her in a group of 10 others who are all much older anyway - that won't be much fun for her. She is bi-lingual, so it does not matter if it is a French group, but I just want her to be with other teenage beginners, so that she has a good time socially as well.
One ski school said they will let me know if they get a group like that going. ESF have not replied despite several attempts!
Anyone got any ideas?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

JPL1, our local ESF specifically features "adolescents" (from 12) on their website. I'd phone them, rather than relying on email.

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

Thanks, Pam. I thought they should, but when i looked into it these seemed to be aimed at higher level skiers rather than beginners. But you are probably right about phoning them rather than e mailing! I would rather book with them than anyone else, and I'll get a discount on her ski pass aswell!

New Generation there is run by Gavin Crosby who is a Snowhead and teaches on all the bashes. Have you been in touch with them. I guess the problem is whether they have enough of a similiar age/ability for a group.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.
