 Poster: A snowHead

@bartoon, regular ski clothing will be sufficient - waterproof saloppettes and jacket (as you may end up covered in snow), and make sure your jacket has a powder skirt that is done up, to stop snow getting up the inside of your jacket

Andre’s story reminds me of my infamous episode at Tignes, early 90s, when I’d paid for a week of group inter lessons. It was the old ESF “sorry not enough of you to run a group lesson today, please join the advanced class”. Who took us way off a lift, walking 20mins round the side of the hill to a place we all had to jump off. No training, no going back. Was shaking so much with nerves I later vomited. They just shrugged. Swore I’d never give them a penny again, and haven’t.

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

Another ESF story. In Val Thorens Xmas 2000 I paid for a week of group lessons. My group was about 12 strong, multiple nationalities including Russians, it was obvious within minutes that we ranged from very nervous beginners to competent red run skiers. Just 30 minutes in one of the nervous skiers on a churned up steep blue got badly hurt, the lesson was abandoned. I never went back.
Organised larceny and bloody dangerous. Lesson learned, ESF have never had a cent out of us since.
Years later we got to know the resort director and other locals in another resort, they privately said avoid ESF like the plague. Thankfully there was an amazing English speaking alternative (French nationals) that shaped our kids into good skiers.
