 Poster: A snowHead

Hi all, looking for some advice on val disere ski school. We will be there over new years 23/24 so obviously a busy time. Usually we do a few days ski school to get eh feel of a place and get the legs moving again but don’t really like a full week. 2 adults, 2 kids 12 and 15. In the USA I’m a level 6-7. Happy to be a good intermediate these days as my knees don’t like the bumps. Kids are about a 5-6 in USA. Older kid is better technically but a little cautious, little one is super fast but needs a bit more technique. There seem to be multiple ski schools so not even sure where to start looking. Maybe we should do some private lessons? The kids do like the chance to meet other teens though. Happy for all and any suggestions.

For a good mixture of quality and vfm, I would recommend Evolution 2.
If you are prepared to spend considerably more, then the following are even better:
Mountain Masters
Progression Ski
TDC
New Gen
BASS
Supreme Ski

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

@Matilda6,
Steve Angus from 'The view from ..... Val d'Isere and Espace Killy' thread on the Snow Reports forum. Also a great source of general info on VdI and the Espace. But book early for everything as New Years is busy.

I can recommend TDC and their 3-day clinics. The one I took started out as a group size of 4, which became a group size of 1 (me) by the third day.
