 Poster: A snowHead

Hi, does anyone have any recommendations for ski schools in Mayrhofen? I am heading there for Christmas (relieved to see signs of snow at last1) and want to get some lessons to improve my technique. I used ski school to learn a few years ago, then for past couple of years have taken a morning of private lesson which I found gave most improvement quickest. I am not adverse to doing 2 or 3 days of ski school in a group but may opt for the private instruction (possibly 2 of us if I can persuade my husband to join me)
Haven't been to Mayrhofen before!

Hi
I used the Mount Everest School last March and found it excellent. I had some private lessons which really helped. Due back in Mayrhofen this weekend to practice those turns!

Very easy... anything apart from Die Roten Profis (you will run far too high a chance of having an under/un qualified apres ski instructor taking you out). the other three are fine, everest all speak fluent (or are) english and concentrate on private lessons, SMT are the biggest school for groups this is great but not important for privates and 3000 are mostly regarded by the locals as being the most consistently good school on the mountain. Have worked for the last 2 there and can happily vouch for their instructors...
That said if you want to jump over the hill to fankhauser school at horberg I can take you out and show you a few bits and pieces.

thanks for the tips and advice - we arrive late on 23rd Dec - so probably will look into the private lessons for the Monday or Tuesday - I like to remind myself what it is all about first before I search out an instructor!!!

haha, dan is a really good instructor, he's also not as "steezy" as those pictures make out. He knows his stuff and is a solid skier (when he's not whining about his knees). plus dispite coming from Hemel he also speaks english. I honestly think the 3000 team is the strongest in resort, there are maybe one or two who i don't rate but they don't teach privates, so you're safe

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I'm a BASI 2, qualified about 8 or so years ago but I don't work as an instructor in Mayrhofen, I just ski there all season. Another vote for Dan, friend of mine and a damn good instructor!

We've just spent a week with him and it was excellent. Very patient and excellent teacher. He also had me skiing runs I never thought I would.
Brilliant local knowledge, especially when it came to food recommendations!
We will be back next year
