 Poster: A snowHead
|
Adult minder for novice young boarders wanted.
Not seen anything like this before on Snowheads – but would it be OK to start a thread asking for a chaperone to ski with a couple of young lads (learning to Board) for a few hours on some days when out of ski-school, whilst their Dad skied higher up the mountain. Maybe it’s the sort of thing that a Seasonnaire or older teenager would do to earn a bit of extra cash? 
Would it be PC as not looking to get critical replies of Dad being selfish, because that’s not the case. I’m not the parent by the way.
What do you think?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Yes, I'm sure it would be OK provided there was absolutely no question of the chaperone doing any coaching. But where and when?

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

My immediate reaction is that I'd want some sort of indication that the chaperone had the experience and common sense needed to do the job. If I didn't know the person pretty well, I'd want them to be a ski instructor, I think.

Pollyperks, I don't see a problem from the snowHead point of view, bit of an odd request though! Oh, and it says in the T&C's that we don't take any responsibility for stuff you learn on snowHeads, so be careful!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thanks Everyone. More details then:-
Its for 2 boys aged 12. One a good and resonably experienced skier and other 1st time on snow. Both are learning to board however and have had dry slope lessons in UK.
Les Deux Alpes from Wednesday 4th next week. Everyone's comments taken on-board, so no coaching or anything like that. Just someone who has a responsible attitude who can stay close by and communicate effectively.
Days and times by agreement (work around ski lessons). If anyone intrested or wish to offer further advice please either PM me or reply here. Dad is not yet registered here on Snowheads so I'll pass on details.

Pollyperks, There are 4 or 5 snowheads including me in L2A at the same time myself included I wouldn't be prepared to supervise the boys on my own but would ski as part of a group with the boys included, I have done that before where we had 8 children with 6 adults. It may be worth contacting easiski she may be instructor based in L2A she may be able to provide details of schemes that are already in resort that you can use.

Russell, Thanks for that. Dad has booked their accomodation via Easiski's recomendation and has raised the point. I will also be there and have seen that you are from Easiski's snow thread. Might see you if we do all meet up.
