Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi,
Just wondered what the complimentary (free) coaching is like at Hemel. I think they do it at certain times during the week.
Has anyone been, if so...
Is it best avoided, as the slope gets too full of people after a free lesson? Or, is it a good perk and worth going to on occasion.
Thanks
R

@rossyl, I presume you are referring to the sessions on Tuesday mornings and Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. These are not lessons as such. You purchase a lift pass for the time you want and there is a snowboard coach and a ski coach on the slope who can look at your skiing/boarding and give you tips on how to improve your technique. My brother, who is fairly new to skiing, has availed himself of their advice and found it helpful.
How busy the slope is will depend on how many lessons are going on and how many people are free skiing. At this time of year it should be comparatively quiet, so worth taking up the opportunity of some free coaching. It gets much busier nearer to the ski season as people prepare for their ski holidays.

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

I used it a lot last summer, Scooby Simon was doing it, essentially the instructor stands at the top of the slope and you tell them what you want to work on, they will then give you a task to do, which you do on your own, the instructor should give you feed back.
It's not a formal structured lesson.

Thanks very much.
I realise they aren't lessons but tips. Sounds like its worked out well for your brother.

A side note, do you know if they do shadowing at Gosling, it's a bit closer than going to Hemel for my L1 hours
