Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi there
I am sure that somebody's probably asked this question previously so apologies for the repetition, but I was just wondering if anyone could recommend a private instructor/ski school in Val d'Isere?
We're going a week today so are getting very excited!!
Many thanks!

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

You could try snowhead Steve Angus, he and his wife Clare are both excellent instructors working with TDC in Val d'Isere

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

+1 for Steve Angus. I had fab lessons a few weeks ago where he accurately pin pointed my post injury issues, put me through drills and was genuinely inspirational. I am skiing better and faster than before.

Just to add a +1 for TDC Val d'Isere in general. About 10 of us had lessons with them last year - 3 groups ranging from intermediate to off-piste - and all of us thought they were great. I was taught by Giles in the inter group, and came on leaps and bounds. I'm no great skier at all but the group I usually ski with were shocked at the improvement.

Steve Angus gets my vote.
Booked him last March, after having scarred myself silly on a really steep red run the year before. He really helped me and took me down a few reds. He helped me "get" the whole reason for pole planting and although I stayed away from reds after his lesson for the rest of the week, I went to Madonna di Campiglio last week and absolutely nailed every red run it had to offer. So chuffed!
Thanks Steve, skiing is now fun. I don't have to panic at every signpost and get my piste map out in fear of encountering a steep red

If Steve Angus is fully booked, I'd also highly recommend Rupert Goldring of Mountain Masters.

wns198, what type of lesson are you looking for?
I had the best private lesson of my life with Jimmy Sabadin (Ski Newgen) for off piste/steeps. He's a good guy, and is the by far the best ginger skiing Italian with a Scottish name that I know
