 Poster: A snowHead

I am a beginner and will be spending 3 months in Zell. Could anyone point in the direction of a good ski school. I was thinking about group tuition for the first and then private for week 2 and 3. Thoughts????

I've used a couple of ski schools in Zell. The biggest one is Ski & Snowboardschule Zell am See, who operate out of 3 bases.....Schuttdorf, City Xpress and Schmittenhoe. They have a couple of English instructors that I know of who are both very good (Anthony and Nicola) and may be worth requesting for private lessons. The other ski school I've used is the Bruck ski school who meet at the Alpin Express. They are a smaller school - had an excellent instructor called Andy, but i think he only works the occasional week as he has a full time job outside of skiing.

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

Elizabeth B, ....that was a rapid response....a big thank you.
Any ideas on how much it would cost for private tuition?

We are just back from Zell and we had a private instructor through the ski and snowboard school Zell am See ..we were not pleased with our instructor but that 's the luck of the draw and we should have requested a change.. but I also noticed some very nice english speaking instructors who were from a smaller school called OUT DO (one nice lady helped me after a fall), I am certainly going to look them up when I go next time. www.outdo.at .

We also used the main Zell Am See ski school, and had a great instructor who may be worth requesting if you want private lessons. He has written a book which the ski school bought a couple of thousand copies of, so I presume they must like him! I'll talk to you about him when you arrive...

Deliaskis, Hi D, hows the snow??
London2008, I've have been watching this as I'm thinking of using someone other than the SkiSchule ZamS. Not because I have been unhappy with them but just to try someone else?
I've had great instruction from Hippolyt, Kari, Francis the Aussie Austrian and from Jackie (who is English) over the years and if I thought I could guarantee one of them for private instruction it would be a no brainer, unfortunately for me they almost always get groups.

Hi Robboj Just back from Zellamsee, and although I was going to try a different ski school , I took your advice and requested private tuition from any of the instructors you mentioned, we ended up with Karen, she was absolutely FABULOUS ..thank you so much for that list , Karen could not come with us on the last day so the school gave us Jackie,she was also super, it was really great to have a few names ! and the school were well impressed!...We had fantastic snow altogether and a great week skiing.
