Poster: A snowHead
|
Can anyone recommend good instructor/school for 3 intermediate skiers who can ski reds but are not very agressive skiers and want to be able to ski reds well and feel competent when they hit a bit of ice! We are in Val during Easter hols so i know it will be busy.
Also have boy aged 14 who is wanting to do blacks and moguls! any suggestions?

ruthie, Mountain Masters is a small, high quality British ski school in Val d'Isere. From personal expereince I'd say that Rupert Goldring and Mark Jones are both very good, although I think that any of the instructors at the school will be first class.

Well sitting in Val at the moment...
Have to echo Rob's thoughts there had a couple of days out with Mountain Masters (Rupert), having a great time and learning all sorts of stuff... - btw rob, your greetings have been passed on to Rupert.
Friend out here had a nightmare with Oxygen, but also a good one....
As for moguls - you can find them on the greens atm... SWEEEET!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Moguls on greens? Pretty hard to find them even on La Face nowadays, best bumps are under Tommeuse chair or under Le Fornet cable car. But hey i'm not there so maybe the piste bashers are all bust. Could try TopSki - they used to have a chap called Eric (don't know last name) ex mogul world champ. Used him guiding a couple of season back, he did mogul sesssions as well.

Many thanks. I'm hoping to get up to Val early next week and will give him a call to say hello

ruthie, either mountain masters or the development centre, the OH had a lesson with them a few years back and there was a noticable difference in her skiing after 2 hours

Thanks for all the suggestions/threads. Haven't had lessons for a couple of years and really want to improve a bit more before I get too old! I think I'll try Mountain Masters first. The 14 year old needs a bit of a challenge as he is quite a good skier however i'm guessing teaching him the right technique is important now.
