Poster: A snowHead

Hi
I am an advanced skier-black, off piste etc. Heading to Solden soon and wondering what ski school is the best there in general and for high level?
Normally I go to St Anon but its getting too expensive there now.

I've only used Vacancia, no idea how advanced they go but they're really good and friendly.

Peterjones3,
Thanks. A friend of mine is going with them for 3 days, but he is not at the same level as me. Did you do advanced lessons with them? Did you get equipment from them? Seems reasonable 3days lessons, 6/7days rental for €240 or 20 extra for top ski.
How would you rate Solden overall? All new to me! Hopefully cheaper than St Anton which should really be subject to an EU Anti Competition / Price fixing investigation!
Any info on the Freeride Centre in Solden?

Kaisr Sose, sorry for late reply.
Just used them for lessons, hired equipment from the Sporthutte under the Gaislachkoglbahn. A few different outlets, all with top quality gear - wouldnt say it was cheap (or expensive). Got vouchers from the hotel we were staying in, discounting by 10%. Seemed a generic thing to get custom.
The Giggijoch (the other main gondala) has similiar.
It is cheaper than St Anton, more so for drinks and food. Apres tends to centre more around the Giggijoch, and late night in Fire and Ice. Can get pretty bonkers in a europop kind of way.
Really enjoyed the skiing there. The glaciers have some great warm up runs with wide opens spaces to cruise or practice. Lots of off-piste that is accessible, but very dependant on the conditions at the time and soon gets tracked. I did advanced lessons, but they were focused on technique more than anything. You might be best popping in and having a chat to see how they can meet your needs. Sorry cant remember who I used.
