 Poster: A snowHead
|
Has anyone been to Tignes and done ski school if so who did you use and what were their costs? I am having trouble finding a place that does group lessons for an intermideate.
Thanks
Matt

Matt_G, send a PM to Stewart Woodward. He works for ESF in Tignes Le Lac so you'll get good advice from him.

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

Have been speaking to Stewart and he has been helpful.
Does anyone know if there is like an offical ski school groups in tignes?
cause like in kitzbhuel, bulgaria, lermoos, they have instruters that
all wear the same ski clothing. To book them you just went to like an
office in the villge? Is there anything like that over there?

Matt_G, yes. The ESF is a big operation in Tignes (and pretty much everywhere else in France) and are very distinctive in their red uniforms. There are other ski schools in Tignes as well, all 'official'.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Matt_G, We used Snocool extensively during the half term week this year.
We block booked one guy all day every day for the adults in our group and one guy mornings only for the nippers.
The bloke we had taught the whole range of us; from early intermediates through to acting as a guide (he is a fully qualified mountain guide too). He even did an afternoon trying to teach our boarders how to freestyle.
I'd happily recommend him, he's called Marco.

Bertie did you just do a 3hour session with the development centre and that was it? what was your standard of skiing when you had the lesson?

The ESF like all ski schools is made up of various teachers, if you get a good one then it does not matter which uniform they wear.
I know Stewart. I have skied with him just for a blast and on courses. I have seen him teaching and he will always give a good lesson to anyone, of any standard.
I'm not on commission from the ESF (I have never used them or worked for them), it's just I feel that you should not dis someone just as they choose to work for a particular school.
