 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hello. I'm Les and ski like a brick.
I'm staying in Saint Gervais this Xmas, but I think I may have made my first mistake.
I booked some ski lessons online with ESF St Gervais. Throughout the booking process there was no mention of posting "tickets" out. Yet lo and behold, the invoice includes the words "You will receive your tickets by postal mail" towards the end of the email. At this point in time, last post has been and gone by some time...
Never having booked online with the ESF, is it a good idea to pop into the office first thing or just meet at the meeting point with my email invoice?
I'm kind of dreading the inevitable franglais phonecall to the ESF tomorrow to explain the situation.
These are the bunglings of a novice. All comment welcome.

Not much experience of ESF, but I do recall that my wife was given a ticket to present to the instructor. The phone call seems to be a good idea. Going to the office first thing or even on arrival if that's the evening before would also be a good idea.

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

meta5, Welcome to Snowheads
1) Don't worry about it - these sort of things happen all the time and ESF are very adapt (generally) at changes/issues.
2) Don't bother phoning but when you get to resort pop into the office - and even in a smaller resort like St. Gervais you should be able to make do with comedy franglais and explain the issues. Usually you get some kind of voucher to give to the instructor - I think he/she then uses them to claim his payment for the week but I could be wrong..
Enjoy the lessons and the trip.

I've booked various lessons in various places over the years, often had some kind of bit of paper, and never yet had to present it to anyone.
But yes, pop into the office - it will all be OK
And welcome to Snowheads.

I'll pop in and try explain the situation.
This is assuming the weather allows to set foot in France, of course.

One think to do if you dont speak the lingo is to have bit of text translated (eg google translate) that says.
I'm sorry I dont speak french, but I'd like to try if you have time. I have a booking etc.
That way if you get stuck you can just slip them the letter.
Cheers
Bob

meta5, I found that the ESF (only one experience and that was pretty damn fine) always had plenty of people who spoke English.
