 Poster: A snowHead
|
So its a nice and newly refurbed apartment located centrally in Val, dates of the course are 31/01/2011 - 04/02/2011. I can get the apartment for £220 a head or less, based on at least 4 people. It sleeps 4 comfortably (@220pp) but has a sofa bed so can stretch to 6. Anyways details for the apartment are here...

Thanks
Ross.

R555MAC, It's something I'm pondering but won't decide until later. I'll give you a shout if I decide to go with it.

david@mediacopy, OK good. probably best to email me as I may not check here enough. There are still 15 spots going so no immediate hurry. I just want to get my teach done at the beginning of the season so that I can take what I learn and actually go and teach with it straight away so Im not forgetting anything, its the more important part of the exams/training to me at the moment.

Having said I would like to get it done early they have just put up dates for a teach in Verbier. I am less than 2 hours from Verbier so might actually book onto the course there as it immediately follows the tech aswell which I am sure will benefit my teaching exam. Its just far more convenient if I go to Verbier really.
I do know that Clare and Steve will be trying to fill that apartment with BASI members going for the exam so if you are interested it is worth sending an email or going on their facebook page for freshchalets.
beanie1, you may know this, I asked the BASI office earlier this year if there would be L3 tech and teach offered in Mrozine. It makes a lot of sense based on the location and the fact that there are already plenty of trainers in resort. I had heard rumors that there would be. When I asked BASI they said to keep monitoring the courses, the problem is that if dates are not put up until late I have little choice but to opt for a resort which is much futher away for risk of missing out on places all together. Do you have any information on this, as if I book exams now in Verbier it will make a big difference to my costs after 2 weeks tech 1 teach plus the mountain safety.
thanks!

R555MAC, If the dates aren't on the website then that will most likely mean nothing is planned there yet, but I'll check for you.

That would be great if you know of anything. As I said I had just heard that they may be running some, really got my hopes up! Verbier isnt too far though, beats travelling to Hintertux thats for sure!

R555MAC, I'm pretty sure they run L3 courses in Morzine every year. The best thing to do is drop Jaz a line and find out directly from the horse's mouth.

FlyingStantoni, thanks, I have just sent a message. I noticed the involvement in 'skiforce' but they just do 1&2 but training for the 3 is offered. So not sure that they actually run L3 exams? But I have asked so I'll know soon enough.

R555MAC, I had a chat with Diane in the BASI office, and she is looking at running L3 courses in Morzine in 11/12 season. This year they've added extra L3 courses in Verbier, Courchevel and Andorra following feedback from members last season, as well as those running in Val D'Isere, Zermatt and Hintertux. Unfortunately if they put on too many courses in different venues they struggle to fill them, and then they get cancelled.
So unfortunately it looks like Morzine won't work for you this season, so you should continue looking for your accommodation shares.

Thankyou beanie1 that is just what I needed to know. I am continuing my accommodation hunt now! The extra courses in verbier should make a difference, think I will be buying a season pass there this winter! Good to know Morzine may get some in the future, although I shouldnt be needing L3 by then, but its really only the 3 that seems to be very expensive just as a result of the time and number of exams! Ah well, back to futher planning now, at least the L3 is an excuse for some new skis 
Thanks for all of the info!
