skion, do you have a particular focus in mind, on piste, off piste, bumps, touring, etc? Snoworks gets good reviews, including from me.

Had some [private] lessons with Colin Tanner from TDC in Val D'Isere the other week, superb. I can highly recommend him, but can't speak for any courses that they do.

skion, What are you looking for precisely? do you definitely want to go on a 'course' (ie: group lessons), or do you want serious 1-1 input? Do you holiday alone? What level are you? Lots of questions before your question could really be answered.

Yah Its run by two dudes. Pricey and Dan
Feedback is constructive. They give you loads of confidence ( especially with me in the moguls ) and the video analysis is done over a well earned beer afterwards with some quite funny moments.

Super Eagle, been looking on the Cas website, but can't see it advertised. Is it run by the centre or are they independant of it?

Just ring Cas. If not turn up at 50/50 bar for 18.30 and you will be sorted from there.
I.m told it is on web site but where I'm not sure.
£60 per module or £220 for all 4 modules

worldclass skiing and www.alpinecoaching.co.uk are two of the best in my opinion, mainly due, like most small operators, to the two coaches behind them both, Pete S and Alex L.

You know it makes sense.
