 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all,
I stupidly forgot to book the kids into ESF/Evolution for our end of March holiday and looking to see if 'private group' lessons are a viable thing. There are another 4 children (12-14yo) coming and are intermediates........ Does anyone have any recommendations for other 'brands' or personal instructors that may be able to assist here ideally from 1950?
PS Apologies if this isn't in the correct place, pls feel free to move if somewhere more suitable.
Cheers

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

If you want a Brit instructor, JP McCarthy at AIM Snowsports is highly recommended. As is Alistair Brown (info@abskicoaching.com). Both work independently and can start sessions in Arc 1950.

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

Just a note to say, don’t rule out lessons from Arc 2000 as it may give you more choice. It’s just a short cabriolet lift up there of a morning to get to the ski school meeting point. I just did a quick online check with ESF and they seem to accept group bookings of 5 or 6. Other places you may need to contact directly as more than 4 is high for a private group, but effectively you’re paying for the instructor rather than a slot on a class (the prices do seem to go up if you have more than 1-2 in a group).

Hope you find something for them all. We get quite a few messages from people who have spent ages choosing a resort, and accommodation, and then forget about ski school which can be the factor that "makes or breaks" a ski holiday, especially for beginners and nervous skiers who hesitate to explore on their own for fear of finding themselves faced with something too difficult - a very natural feeling.
Private "group" lessons can certainly be a thing, though not ideal if standards or ages - are too disparate. there is usually a small additional charge for extra people. Another option can be an "engagement" where you pay for a day, or whatever, with an instructor and can then ask her to do whatever you want (within reason!!). That might be better than trying to fit too much into a couple of hours slot.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

This is really helpful, thank you. I've been offered AM with ESF from 2000 and know the Cabriolet lift but was looking for maximum convenience. I could get some ESF from 1950 but only in the PM and I like AM lessons as a way to get out nice and early!
I've messaged AIM and Alistair so thank you!

You'll need to Register first of course.

If all else fails, I can give you two names of ESF instructors working out of Arc 1800 - but if going private, an arrangement could likely be made. I used them years ago and both were good.
In order of my preference:
Bernard Blanc
Franck Grumeau

Thanks all, I messaged both the above and they are both full but given a couple of names.
Brice Lamon is free for dates we require and it's suggested he's very good so will go with that. Thank you!
