Poster: A snowHead
|
We're off to La Thuile in a couple of weeks (both about 7 week intermediates), and we're thinking of taking a couple of private lessons, rather than doing ski school. Anyone have experience of private lessons here, instructers they would recommend etc?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

I used these guys www.bluski.com last year. They're English and very good. I think they might be a little more expensive because there's some rule/law (in the resort, not bluski themselves) about who they are allowed to teach if your trip is not fully organised by them. One of their instructors has some higher qualification that allows him to teach anyone.

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

I contacted them recently and they said they were completely unable to offer to us any tuition as we had not booked our trip through them.

paulio, Ah, thats a shame. I hadn't booked my trip with them either. I know I could only get a lesson from this one instructor of theirs due to the resort rules. Maybe he's gone or the rules are even tighter.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Also, I'm pretty sure someone else here on snowheads used them when they couldn't get into a ski school.

I did contact them, but they were adamant that they would only offer lessons to customers already in resort with them.

Hi ajpaul,
I've just returned from La Thuile so i might be too late to be of any real help but there is an instructor there called Valentina, who is great. I was with her for a week and felt that my skiing really progressed. I would have no problems with recommending her.
