 Poster: A snowHead
|
43 yr old Male novice skier seeks help. If you feel you have the time and patience to help build my confidence and ability to progress further then I would like to hear from you. You do not necessarily have to be qualified or a practicing instructor, but it would be an advantage. The lessons would be in Austria for a week at a time this season and possibly thereafter. You would have the opportunity for excellent skiing yourself. Please get in touch with your contact details via the site if you are interested. Further details will be discussed after contact.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

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

AndyOBee, yes they should be, or they may not be legally allowed to work in parts of Austria or be insured. You should check that their level of instruction permits them to work independently (check with their qualifying body) - some more junior instructors should only be employed by ski schools. And besides that, you will also learn so much more from a really experienced instructor.
As well as Inside Out Skiing mentioned above you could also check out World Class Skiing in Austria. I've been on their courses and they are excellent. http://www.world-class-skiing.com/home.aspx If you are only looking for private instruction rather than group clinics you could contact Alex Leaf and ask if this could be arranged. Alex also has a blog here:

AndyOBee, I know you say Austria and 1:1, but can I offer you an alternative thought to consider too? I have organised a trip in March to Les Deux Alpes in France specifically for people who need to raise confidence levels. The lessons are in groups, but the max group size is 4, giving plenty of time for 1:1 attention, plus peer support both during and when practising outside the lesson time. The link to the details is below.
BTW - welcome to SH! There is quite a handful of SnowHeads who live in & around Yorkshire and occasionally there are small get-togethers at either Castleford or ChillFactor-e.

AndyOBee, welcome to snowHeads 
I'd second the recommendation for InsideOut skiing http://www.insideoutskiing.com/ , I've been a regular on their excellent indoor coaching sessions at Hemel Hempstead throughout the summer/autumn. If you drop them an email they may be able to help you. Rob and Scott, the two instructors, are both long-standing members of snowheads.

Butterfly,
Hi Thanks for the welcome. It would be great for you to keep in touch and keep me informed of any "meetups" of yorks etc members.
I haven't been to chill factore as yet, had mixed reviews of it thought, but I certainly look forward to trying it. I am a reasonably regular visitor to Xscape.
thanks
Andy
