A lot depends on where you plan to go, but you may have a problem finding Group Lessons for both days; group lessons are often unavailable on whichever day is changeover day. If you can afford private lessons I think you'll have no problem - there are English-speaking instructors (Brits even) in all big resorts.

A great weekend destination is the Aravis area. StarSki in Le Chinaillon are good with little ones and maybe worth a call. Gravite in La Clusaz ( http://www.gravite.co.uk/ ) may also be able to help out (friendly place to stay too!).

You could also try asking on Snowheads (look for posts by easiski - Charlotte is an English instructor who has had some good feedback posted there - based in Les Deux Alpes).

Thanks for the recommendation Powderhound.

It is quite a challenge finding good English-speaking instructors. We do know a couple of guys out here in La Clusaz who could teach privately, but it is unlikely that you will be able to book in for group lessons for just the weekend period. :(

We do have spaces available prior to 11 Feb if interested? Visit the website for details of our late deals. www.gravite.co.uk[/url]
