They're not 'small' they have dozens of chalets... a small, independant is one that only has 1, 2, or even 3. and is therefore more discreet because of its size


Compared to the other opponents they could have picked on such as Crystal (supported by the mighty TUI) they are.
As already mentioned the fact that many big players have waded in and offered support to Le Ski must have been a blow to the French authorities and the ESF.
What do you do on your first day?

Hi Donald, welcome to the forum :-)

I normally drop down to the level of the other members of my clan, i pretend to be slumming it with them as i am a good father and husband but in reality i am just warming up. Or plucking up the courage to say 'right I'm off'.

i suspect that in January this will mean gentle blues to start with and in March some baby greens.

Makes you wonder if that is why they are in court.
Set a precedent with a small company that might not have the financial might of the major players. Someone who might fight back a little less.

Skiworld are delighted to be able to offer the very popular social skiing service once again to guests staying in selected resorts in France. Skiworld have teamed up with a number of ski schools in resorts across the Tarentaise region including Val d'Isere, Tignes, Les Arcs and Val Thorens.

The service is completely free of charge and on a first-come-first-served basis for up to 12 guests of red-run standard and above. Each group will be accompanied by a qualified instructor from a local ski school and a Skiworld Rep. No ski instruction will be given, it is simply a fun and sociable way to become familiar with the local ski area and meet other Skiworld guests.

Sessions will run on a Sunday afternoon for 2 hours. Once the group is full, Skiworld may be able to arrange a local guide (subject to availability) which is payable locally.

Skiworld continue to run their social skiing service in other resorts in Austria, Switzerland and USA, subject to local regulations and weather conditions.



2hrs on a sunday afternoon doesn't cut it really does it?

Well if you search Crystal now you will find quite a few holidays meeting ur needs for around £450, if you could find that little bit extra.
Failing that just book your time off work and wait it out. I am sure come new year you will find prices dropping for early jan departures.
