Poster: A snowHead
|
I'm visiting Morzine for a week from Saturday 19th February next year and would like to hear if anyone has any recommendation for a childrens ski school for 3 kids aged between 5 and 9; this will be on their first ski trip so I'm eager to ensure they both enjoy the experience and develop their skiing skills.
If anyone has experience of any ski schools for kids in Morzine or Les Gets, I'd be really interested to hear from you, whether the experience has been positive or negative.
Thanks in advance.

Reports on here and on the ground say all the schools are mostly good, very occasionally bad. Your biggest problem will be getting them booked in anywhere, your week is ⅔ of France on hols, including Paris, so ESF will be rammed. For the various Brit-run boutique schools, the resident owner/operators will be working, but the seasonal brits they normally hire for high-season are all screwed by Brexit, so much reduced capacity. I would say try all the Brit independents asap, take anything you're offered, and if not try the Snow School (part of ESF masquerading as an independent), or easy2ride (the french competition to ESF). Good luck, I'm sure you'll find something and they will have an amazing time!

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

Ours had had quite a bad ski school experience in another resort but had their faith restored by Freedom2Ski in Avoriaz when they were 9 and 11. Lots of fun and adventure and their skiing came on loads. This was about ten years ago mind!

@andy from embsay, Thankyou! @greido, thanks or starting thread I had intended to do same.
I have sent them an enquiry. I am specifically after private lessons for a small self selected group over same period. We need private instructor as my youngest is ASD and doesn’t keep up with children of the same technical ability as her and she progresses at a slower rate

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I can thoroughly recommend The Snow Institute. Sally (the owner) is great, and will do her damndest to accommodate your needs. I've had experience of 4 of the instructors and they are all excellent.
They also meet by the Yeti cafe on the Chavannes, so you avoid the ESF scrum at the bottom of the slopes, and don't waste the first half an hour (plus) queueing for the lifts.
@NickyJ, TSI sounds like it would be a good fit for you too.

We used BASS, Les Gets ski school, 360 and ESF over the years for various grandchildren. Must fun was had with 360 and they allowed a nanny from Ski Famille to tag along with the classes which helped no end, and we used to get a report on the child involved when we collected, from her/him as well as the instructor. Extra pairs of hands always help.

@NickyJ, if he is available - Ivan Ecoeur at Alpiday is brilliant. As shep said - at this stage you need to be quick.

I have made initial enquiry with Freedom 2 Ski who I am happy with the response. So I am hoping to proceed. It was a good and understanding response (which is NOT a universal reaction to my historical attempts to book similar in previous years and other response)

We are all booked with them, private instructor shared with 5 of our children in our group (one of which is my ASD daughter). Happy with what they were suggesting and saying (given I have had some very non-understanding responses from various ski schools in the past and difficulty booking mornings in peak weak with a private instructor with a lot of ski schools) very hopeful.
