 Poster: A snowHead
|
It looks like we're going to have to go skiing during xmas week next year (not my first choice). The previous times we've been at xmas kids' ski school has been very very crowded (it even put my eldest off skiing for a year, that was in the Zillertal)
I'm looking for ski schools that will keep groups small and will keep some standards (i.e. not use any 17 year old off the street) even during xmas. The choice of resort is flexible (as long as it's not Zermatt like expensive). Would like a smaller resort
Could Italy be less crowded? Smaller French resorts (although ESF hasn't been the best experience for me)?

@sugardaddy, do you have any particular resorts in mind?
The British ski schools have smaller classes (max 6/ and are generally restricted to using full cert instructors.

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

St Johann/Alpendorf in the Ski Amade. 45 Mins from Salzburg Airport. Rot Weiss Rot Ski School has British Instructors and small class sizes. Alternatively head to Flachau (other side of the piste map) and try the Hermann Maier Ski School. Same detail as the Red/White/Red. Have a look on my facebook page @Skiflachau for more info about the area. Should tick all the boxes for you.

@sugardaddy which school did you use that you weren’t happy with? We’ll be there for carnival this year and I’m trying decide on which school to use.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@MouseInLux, If you're coming to Ski Amade, make a decision soon as RWR and HM are already looking for extra peak week Instructors. Dutch and British plus half of Germany are all on holiday for Carnival.

We’re going to be in Zillertal. We’re here at the moment for Christmas but at a different part and I’m debating which school to take. I’m really happy with the one we’re using but it’s in a sucky ski area for the adults..we have 2 runs :/

@MouseInLux, I really don't remember the name, but the both of them (we were in Kaltenbach) seemed to struggle. Also, I tried booking private lessons with the both of the and they wouldn't do that as they had no instructors
@Gämsbock, not really, but thinking of smaller resorts. I seem to remember that things are less bad in Italy? (but then the snow record isn't very good)
