Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

 Poster: A snowHead

Can anyone recommend either of these school for 7yo child (beginner)?

- ESF
- Prosneige
- Free School Attitude
- Ski Cool

We are considering both group and private lessons.

Going to our first family ski trip, so any advice would be appreciated...

Many thanks!

z, What are your dates ? I'm an independent ski instructor working in the 3 Valleys, this week I'm teaching 4 kids (7 to 11) in Val Thorens. Have a look on my own website (feedback page) if you are interested.
I know Prosneige & ski Cool. Some instructors are very good. Have a nice ski week in Val Thorens.

Ski Cool is actually part of the ESF.
ProSneige is the independent Ski School in town.

I had a good experience with Ski Cool just a couple weeks back in Val Thorens, the class size was 8 persons - much much smaller than the ESF groups we saw on the slopes.

We are just back from the glorious family break in Val Thorens.

Thank you very much to all snowHeads for your advices given before this trip.

We were so lucky that snowarea kindly offered his tuition to us here on the SnowHeads forum.

This was our first ever ski holiday and we did not imagine we could ever get off "the plateau", especially with a small child. Embarassed

So nothing was more joyful for us than the sight of our child gliding through the snow with ease, conquering a (simple) blue run with parallel turns during the 3rd lesson!

A big thanks to snowarea for making it all happen. He is a very genuine guy with a fantastic personality, a real passion to skiing and a talent to teaching.

The lessons were fun and enjoyable for both adults and our 7yo son.

Instructions were always simple and clear in perfect English.

NO WAY this was like a case of 'bend ze knees / follow me' as I have read about some other ski instructors here in the forum.

We want to go back!

franga,

Sorry , this was our first trip, and we had our private lessons with snowarea only.

I am sure someone will be along soon who can comment on this ski school...

PS. I can not find any references to the VT office on their web site.
