iskar, drop us an email with exactly what you want and when you want it. And i can put a price on training within a couple of days. I was offering a £450pp deal with b&b on up to 10 people in 2 apartments last week. Details for that week and who we are, experience etc are here http://jjc-training.co.uk/valmeinier_march11.html
Have all the gear and a great location here in valmeinier, very child friendly as is situated just below the main resort but still has direct access to the piste, we also have no problem travelling to the place that is right for you.
email is jjcracetraining@gmail.com

As an update, we have teamed up with the premier race club in Bulgaria, and will be offering Race Camps/residential training in collaboration with them. Fortunately we have managed to get the services of an English qualified teacher, and our previous work with the club will ensure that all the athletes will be training with local children who spend their whole year training (theyre over in the black sea fitness training at the moment) and all for less than half the price of BSA....bargain!!!

snowHeads are a friendly bunch.

so a full season package at a bargain price, i guess that is why Bulgaria is where you ended up, good luck with the project, the reason that most places are £800 + a week is because that is how much accommodation and lift passes and training and transport etc cost in frace, italy and austria

iskar, Good luck with your venture.
I have to agree with CEM, In this area you largely get what you pay for in terms of quality of accommodation, race pistes, education and coaching.
This is why organisations such as Ambition have, this year and after several years of training, yielded superb results at British Champs etc.
Organisations such as this and ours deliver results, be it wins or improved performance by using experienced coaches who speak the same language, use understandable terminology and with the ability to explain fully and in the trainees native language.
You will also find that the training is athlete centric whereas 'slotting in' with an existing club may not deliver what one may require but, if cost is your major criteria, you have to organise what fits with that.

whole heartedly agree with you, but having known these guys for quite a few years now, they must speak very good english as my Bulgarian sucks! seriously they are very well qualified, both the english speaking coaches have worked with the National Team, and i believe one in three of the club are in one of the National Teams, its very well run and unlike our clubs here, very well funded!!! couldnt believe how much they get per year.
What we have found the last couple of years training alongside them, is that the differance in fitness between 'locals' and our kids from here is quite big, and gives them something to work too. But time will tell, at the end of the day, mileage on the snow will make a lot of differance, and who knows we might see some of our lot at the Brits!!
