 Poster: A snowHead

Hi all
Has anyone used SMT in Mayrhofen for young kids (my kids are 7 & 5)?
What group sizes do they run and are they mixed English / German etc?
Any experience or views you have are welcome.

Hi @Bennyboy1,
We went with identically aged kids March this year. We used Mayrhofen 3000 ski school and whilst it worked out ok I couldn't heartily recommend them. The group sizes started too large and initial teaching for complete beginners wasn't great, one seemingly disinterested teacher and one left with far too many kids to handle. They swapped it about a bit as the week went on and our kids did enjoy it but still had reservations.
Depends on if your children have skied before too. 3000 used the Ahorn which really is very well suited to beginners but is a bit of a schlep from the main area up Penken. I had lessons with SMT on Penken and they were well organised and run for the adult groups so definite plus there. However don't know if the same for children's lessons and they use snow gardens at the top of Penken for kids. Those looked fine but progression from there for beginners might be tricky, mix of reds and blues which are fine but not entirely beginner progression friendly!
On ski school merit I'd give SMT a go though with reservations about Penken fir easy confidence building progression.
Lots of waffle sorry, hope at least somewhat helpful

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

@Rowlski, thank you. I think the Penken side would be easier for pick up etc but hear you on progression off the baby slopes. My 7 year old would be fine,5 year old more nervous.
Great info thank you.
Anyone else with experience of SMT do shout.

Hi @Bennyboy1, SMT have a good reputation and will have a lot of English kids in the school. My recommendation however would be to look at http://skimayrhofen.com/en/ . This is where my nephew(6) goes and they are awesome.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@MayrhofenOnline, thanks for the tip. Do they provide lunch for the kids if needed? I cannot see on their website.

Another one to look for, although I don't know if they are operating this season is the Huber ski school...the ones in the blue jackets, they always get a really good name around town.
just don't use Die Roten Profis.....
