Hi, There is the possibility that I would need 2x 2-3 hour private lessons in Tignes during the week of 11-19 Feb to fulfill GCSE filming requirements. I know this is a long shot due to it being half term week but does anyone know anyone who might have availability?

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

@Purplecat, Steve Angus is in Val D'Isere and comes highly recommended and if he can't sort it for you, he may know someone who can.

Have a look at Alan Hole. Via Alpine Logic or Maison Sport. Generally not that busy in the school hols. As he concentrates on adults.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I'll 2nd Steve Angus. I've skied with him and wouldn't have coaching from anyone else in EK now.
I also hear good things about free flow floss, who lives and coaches in the valley

Thanks folks for the recommendations. I replied to your message earlier on Purplecat - I personally can't help with those dates (assuming your ski day starts on the 12th?) but one of my colleagues has one (perhaps a 2nd) afternoon slot free that week. valdisere@tdcski.com - drop Anna in our office an email and see what you can set up is probably the best course of action! It might mean skiing over from Tignes to Val to get the session in. Good luck.

Apologies for the thread hijack but what are the GCSE requirements?
My son started his GCSE in PE this year and has made no mention that the filming needs to be done by an instructor, however, that’s pretty standard practice for him.

We’re in les arcs now and my son needs some filming. It doesn’t need an instructor but it needs decent filming so either a good zoom lens or ski next to them but that depends how good you / they are. They also must be filmed in a numbered bib.
You can easily do the filming in one 2 hour lesson though. I don’t think it needs to be long.

@ThorBjornsson, it depends which exam board the school use. It will either be AQA or OCR and you can Google both sets of criteria. There are also videos online (you tube or Vimeo) to give you ideas.

My daughter did skiing as one of her GCSE sports and we had her filming done by a ski school in Avoriaz. I could have done it myself, but would rather it be done by an instructor who read the spec (I emailed it through to them) and would set it up in a way to best demonstrate the skills needed.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Many thanks for the advice.
And can I just check - those doing the filming, are you in the 1st or 2nd year of the GCSE? I’m starting to feel rather guilty I’ve not organised anything.

That’s brilliant thank you.

We had to do ours in the 2nd year of GCSEs, as covid prevented any skiing in her 1st year. We went in February and it was still done in plenty of time at that point.

Thanks everyone! There had been a mistake with dates booked for the wrong week and were looking at all the above options. Luckily it was possible to change the dates of the original booking but obviously panic had set in when we couldn't get through to them!!
