Hi,
Can anyone recommend a Ski School in chamonix? A colleague of mine is going there at the end fo the month, she is a beginner and is just taking lessons indoors at the moment. She was going to go with Evolution in Le Tour, but after being told that they will provide transport from chamonix she is now being told they won't.
She is looking for a ski school based in chamonix and has been referred by her tour company to ESF, I've had an ESF lesson in Argentiere myself last year, and although he was a lovely guy he was teaching me pre carving skis ski technique.
Does anyone know any good schools based in Chamonix?
Thanks

Cleon, Welcome to Snowheads. I would try BASS Chamonix, though I don't know where exactly they are based. I haven't used them but have used another BASS school and really rate them, others on here too speak highly of the BASS schools.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Cleon, Le Tour to Chamonix on the bus is included in your ski pass? There will be little or no difference

Thanks for the suggestions, as far as I can see the BASS don't do beginner classes. I'll suggest she gets the bus.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Cleon, Evolution2 has really good instructors – I highly recommend them. If you do private lessons with them, then the instructor may pick you up from your accommodation if it's one his/her way but I've not heard of them providing a lift service as standard. Getting the bus from Cham to Le Tour is easy.
I have to echo your impression of ESF. I've only ever had two ESF instructors and, like you, one taught me pre-carver style. The other one didn't teach me a thing.

Evo2 are good if you can look past their outfits. Tell her to dress warm - Le Tour can get a bit fresh.
