Poster: A snowHead
|
Any suggestions for ski schools for a four and six year old in Passo Tonale? From what I can see there are a few companies operating at the resort...

My wife had lessons with these guys.

They were very good and certainly brought a big improvement to a very timid beginner. She also made great freinds and had a ball.
We booked them through the TO's though so not sure if that is why they were pretty good english speakers.
Kind regards

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

Ha ha brings back memories.
Our first trip out there was my wifes first ski holiday. All the women in our party were hoping for a young Italian hunk as their instructor, they got this guy.

Not exactly what they were hoping for but they had a great time and learnt a great deal.
Kind regards

We have a keen (20 something) beginner with us for our trip to Passo. March fortunately so hopefully there'll be something to ski on!
The ski schools we've looked at only offer 6 x 2h lessons.
Is this the norm? He'd like 6 x 3h daily lessons if possible.
If not - we may have to take turns with him...

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@shockingmoment, 6 X 2 hours were the norm for my wife and friends.
It worked good for us, but I can see how it may not work for others.
Great resort for beginners and improving intermidates, and by March you will have heaps of snow.
Kind of jealous actually, we have had to cancel our two winter breaks for this season
Have fun

9am kick off unfortunately. I'd rather a more relaxed start to the day....
There's another crowd called ski emotion academy, looks as if they operate smaller groups which is a bonus..

I used http://www.scuolascipontetonale.com/ last year for lessons for private lessons my 10 and 12 year old nephews and adult sister. They seemed pretty good. The kids made good progress and were skiing red runs by the end of the week. English skills of the instructors seemed fine and they had a good approach with the kids.
