 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
We are skiing in St Anton with Mark Warner in February. Previously we skiied in LDA in 2006 and 2007. I am not a beginner but also not quite an intermediate and prefer to ski with an instructor who gives me confidence - the alternative is skiing on my own. In LDA I skiied with Charlotte Swift and am looking for someone similar in St Anton. Any recommendations please?

For what it's worth, my experience of the ladees in St Anton, hmm, I'll rephrase, my experience of the ski instructors in St Anton was that they were all good fun and not at all like ESF. Unlike ESF they didn't terrorise my 4 year old daughter, but instead, and in contrast to ESF, taught her to ski, bought her hot chocolate and left her rareing to go again. She is going to be disappointed when she finds herself in Alpe d'Huez at New Year. I think what I'm trying to say is it shouldn't be hard to find a good instructor to take lessons with there. They might even buy you a hot chocolate:)

St Anton Ski School employs a lot of Dutch, Scandinavian Female instructors for there language abilities. They also employ (but not many now because of EU law) Australian,NZ female instructors. There are some British but not so many.

I know an instructor there who used to be part of the Romanian national skiing team. Apparently she's quite well regarded by her Austrian colleagues. PM me and I'll look for her card.

easiski, to be honest no idea. I've met her by chance when she overheard me talking in Romanian to my friend. We all had dinner but I never got to ski with her. My friend did, on another weekend, and he said she was a superb skier, but he's not the nervous type. Very calm chap in fact.
She didn't seem to have a high-strung personality, though, which is why I recommended her.

I recommend the Ski School of St Anton, we off pisted it with Mr Harry Wolf, who runs the snowboard school but is also an expert skier. He was excellent and kept us safe and confident throughout the day. My sister also took lessons for the whole week and she is a level 5 skier. She happily recommends the school and both instructors spoke fluent English.
