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.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

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.
