 Poster: A snowHead
|
I've never been to Obergurgl so don't know the ski schools there.
Any personal recommendations for private lessons for an adult who is a complete beginner never been on skis?

It might be worth getting some basic skills at your local ski slope before you go. I think even if you had an hours taster lesson (which is all I had before Ifirst went skiing) would mean you would get more out of your time even if you went for the standard group lessons

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

@Giffordpikes, haha, having seen the OP ski, I can safely say she is asking on behalf of someone else!

Hi, we skied in Obergurgl at the beginning of December and hired a private instructor for the two of us through the main Obergurgl ski school (we're not beginners, but he said he often teaches complete beginners). He was an Austrian guy called Paul and was really great - helpful, patient, fun, fluent English, definitely recommended. Sorry not to have his direct contact details but here's the link to the school: http://www.skischule-obergurgl.com/en/ski-school-tyrol.html. It's based just behind the big Intersport and in front of the Eidelweiss hotel.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@Hurtle, why thank you Madam 
Yes, I am asking on behalf of someone else and they would probably have a little go in a Snowdome first. With that said it wouldn't bother them to start completely from scratch in a resort I think they will pick it up easily either way.
So it's the ski instructor recommendation I'm after....
in Obergurgl if anyone knows of someone they like?

@VolklAttivaS5, Josef Riml (not 100% certain of surname) older guy, Obergurgl resident all his life. Had a great improvement lesson with him last January again booked through the Obergurgl Ski school but the one behind the Hochfirst hotel near the foot of the Festkogelbahn. Will be emailing myself to book him again for this January.
