 Poster: A snowHead
|
After two weeks of research and annoying the good people of Snow Heads I have finally booked next years ski holiday.
It’s not cheap, it’s not going to be quiet in resort, but next New Year’s Eve we will be enjoying a fun family week in Les Gets. I know we are paying top whack but we got some discounted kid places, the Nursery is booked and we have the ideal accommodation for a family. Peace of mind has been purchased I guess.
Many thanks to all of you for your valued advice, comments, and shared experience. It is not taken for granted and us wannabe good skiers appreciate the help of those that have flattened the snow ahead of us.
I will, as last time, provide a report in 12 months time on the resort, tour operator, and accommodation. Until then I will no doubt bother you all with more daft questions.
Thanks again, Mike.
p.s. bring on the Snow (in 11 month stime pease)

sev112, Not this year. House extension. Killing me.
FlyingStantoni, Which one is good for beginners. How much will it cost for couple of hours in morning? Thinking we may do a few lessons at start of week and the just do our own thing.

Mike-H, the following are all good:
- Alpine Learning Curves (ALC) - www.alpinelearningcurves.co.uk (65 euros an hour)
- The Snow Institute (TSI) - www.thesnowinstitute.co.uk - based in Morzine, but will do lessons in Les Gets (£110 for 2 hours)
- BASS Les Gets - www.britishskischool.com/les_gets (£70 an hour)
- Les Gets Snowsports (LGS) - www.skischool.co.uk (148 euros for two hours)
Prices are for one person. A surcharge will apply for second person.
You may have problems getting BASS or LGS to run something for a couple of hours for just a few days as it's peak season and they can sell group lessons more profitably.
ALC and TSI will be the most flexible.
I've had lessons and/or done training with all of these except LGS. All have good reputations.
