Poster: A snowHead
|
Title says it all, any suggestions? My son will happily ski with ESF as he thinks it's ok to be treated with disdain and shouted at, but that doesn't work with younger daughter. She has hated both ESF and Evolution in Tignes, loved Arlberg Ski School in St Anton. (I have to say she was quite happy with ESF in Morzine, actually had a male instructor who was good with kids).

Ghost Dog, Get in touch with Stuart from Masterclass www.masterclass-ski.co.uk as they may be able to help you, although they do get quiet booked up particularly on peak weeks so worth acting quickly. They are also running 'family lessons' this season which might be something that could work for you all?

Ghost Dog, Mattmulkeen, i suppose its like anywhere unless you can get recommendations its a lottery,
My two girls aged 9 and 7 now have been to ADH the last two years and have had the same instructor each time ( ESF ), we book with him via email during the summer, they think he's fab.
saying that they have a private lesson over the lunch break with him and ski with us the rest of the time. It works out the same 1 1/2 hours private for 2 compared to a full day ski school but they have progressed well.
Give me a pm if you want his details , he works out of the Bergers office , we have hime from the 05/01/08.
I think Katski recommended Geraldine but we couldn't get her the first year we went but the kids wouldn't change now

What age your kids Matt? We're with Crystal too, where are you staying, we're at the Hermitage?
I don't have any experience of ESF in ADH, just experience of them elsewhere. Generally, for kids who are less robust than the thug I call son, they tend to be of the "your legs broken? Well ski on the other one" approach. I generalise of course.

Mattmulkeen, The ESF in Alpe d'Huez are generally very good. As always though with a large ski school no two instructors are the same and people can end up with very different experiences. I would say if you can go with 2 or 3 private lessons with the same instuctor rather than going into ski school group lessons your kids will benifit alot more and it should work out price wise to be very similar.
Arno, I think that Masterclass will give private lessons for kids anytime over the season although you are right the group lessons may well be limited to half term. I think that the new Family lessons that they are offering are throughout the season as well.
