 Poster: A snowHead

The Warren Smith etc week long courses in Summer.
Must be too hot for skiing now surely even on the glaciers ?
I believe they only do half days, but even so.

Latchigo, The meteo is usually done in the morning, so 8am I would guess.

easiski, So you also teach beginners in Summer.
I can see that intermediates and above would be interested, but why would an absolute beginner be thinking about skiing in Summer ?

Latchigo, why not ?
I started both my kids as beginners at L2A last summer. Plenty else to do if they don't take to it.

Good weather, empty (if limited) pistes. Very small class sizes. Lot's of other things to do.
Of course, there is a downside - I remember watching a very dispirited group trudging of into the mist and rain to try and find some flat terrain at Tignes. You could barely see your hand in front of your face...

Latchigo, i reckon it's a pretty good introduction. if you go somewhere like LDA, you ski first thing then there are all sorts of things to do in the afternoon - mountain biking, walking, rock climbing, sitting by the pool. So if you really hate skiing, all is not lost. Also the lack of available terrain doesn't bother you so much if you're a beginner, provided there's a nice gentle bit

But (it's worth remembering) - however much there is or isn't - it will still be better than being at home.
