 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
I am based in Les Saisies for remainder of season and could commute daily to Megeve if there was some good instruction available. I have only heard of Simon Butler, and his courses are only for guests staying with them in resort. Any other suggestions? I have had some good private lessons here, but there might be a better option in Megeve. There's a Snoworks course in Tignes, which is tempting, but would be a very expensive option given that I already have an apartment here!

pam w, If you want a British ski school, it only takes an hour to drive to Meribel. New Generation have lessons based there.

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

rjs, thanks for the suggestion, but there's no way I could drive from here to Meribel in an hour! It's 40 minutes winding down to Albertville from here (Megeve is in the other direction, down into the Arly Valley).

pam w, you could try White Sensations. I've heard some good things but no direct experience.
The ESI guys who put on races for Simon Butler seem to be good eggs, but the English of the ones I've met may not be up to instruction. I'm sure they must have some good English speakers though (if that's what you need).

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

laundryman, thanks. I've looked at their website and sent them an email. The website has an eerie and deserted feel about it, though. An announcement dated September 2004 says they are very excited about their super new website.... then nothing!

pam w, It has taken me an hour between Crest Voland and Meribel whenever I have driven it. The last time was on Friday evening.
How long does it take you to find somewhere to park in Megeve ?

rjs, what route do you take? I can't get to Albertville in less than 40 minutes but maybe there's a better way, and if I could get to Meribel in a reasonable time, that would be a good bet.

pam w, Just the obvious route, straight down from Crest Voland to the Val d'Arly road, Ugine, Albertville, Moutiers then up to Meribel. I don't go particularly fast down the hill, then stick to the speed limits after that.
The free car park in Meribel is close to where the ski schools meet and also near to the entry to the village.
