Hi,
My girlfriend and I are off to Les 2 Alpes on 3rd April, we have both had approx 8 weeks skiing and are comfortable on most reds and a few blacks but try to avoid any bumps/off piste, and are looking to book ski school with lift passes to try and develop our technique and get rid of any bad habits that we may have picked up. Looking at the ski schools available there seems to be ESF, European Ski School, Evolution 2 and Easiski, does anyone have any experience of these, any recommendations or general advice?
Thanks in advance

TommyDazzler, Welcome to Snowheads. Out of those I've used ESF, European and Easiski. ESF like anywhere are variable, when I used them for my daughter the instructor was good but the group large. European has a pretty good reputation, I used them last year for a freestyle lesson for my daughter which was good, their instructor's are all I believe English speaking but not necessarily native. I've used Easiski a lot for my daughter and myself, she is very good and has an excellent reputation on here (do a search). I would have thought a few private lessons would be best in your situation, probably the same cost as group lessons.

TommyDazzler,
Agree with the above but as it is Easter week she may well be fully booked already. Worth contacting though to find advice on the best alternative.

Colin B, Avago, Snowshark, T Bar, Thank you for the kind words.
TommyDazzler, Pretty busy, contact me asap if you want to chat about it. I agree that at that sort of level, every day is not required. 2-3 private lessons would be a better option.

And another vote for Easiski...
I have had 2 weeks ESF tuition (total beginner and advanced beginner) and 1 week Easiski tuition in LDA.
One of ESF weeks was awesome - fantastic tutor, brilliant tuition. The other week was not so good.
The Easiski week was fantastic.
Things like ESF can be brilliant, but you are taking a bit of a risk - you may get lucky with the tutor, you may not. I don't have enough money or enough skiing weeks to risk wasting either of the two on duff lessons!
With Easiski you are (in my opinion) guarenteeing a certain level of instruction.
