 Poster: A snowHead
|
I've looked through the recommended Instructors thread and so far the options look like :-
BASS
IDFreeride
Skisurf360
Any others I should look at, or comments to help choose between them would be appreciated.
Looking for on / off-piste and maybe some avalanche awareness training.
Thanks.

We have used BASS three times in Les Gets for our two childrens lessons and have been very satified with the lessons and results. We also payed for a 2hr private lesson last year for them to try boarding, but thought that at £115 this was a bit expensive. I have also read elswhere on this site a very good review on a instructor at Skisurf360 and was intending to try and book a private lesson with him when I return to Les Gets in March. ( see recommended instructors at top of this section)

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

kevinrhead, I was also thinking about Skisurf360 unfortunately their web site was more fun than functional. The Safari or freeride courses look a possibility, I think it'll come down to talking with them once in resort.
Any tips on Les Gets as a resort ?

Joe Beer is a very experienced instructor working in Les Gets, I worked with him for many years and I think you´d be delighted with his services. www.alpinelearningcurves.co.uk.
