I am at the point of booking some private lessons for the family and seem to be spoilt for choice.
I would love to hear from anyone with experience of these tutors.

Thanks

yes my friends used the oxygene ones 2 years ago for 3 days of private morning lessons and they said they were fantastic

Have a look at this site ........ my din setting came out at 8 and I normally set mine to 7.5
so it came out quite close.

very jealous indeed, esp sitting here still in my cast watching claim for the 14th time today!

ive found with people who havent been that confident that powder and flat light/snow really helps because when you go back to the piste (if you do want to go back) its a whole lot easier!!

Livigno and Bormio had plenty of snow to 1200m last year from the 5th December-Bormio is higher but Livigno has more pistes

Xtreme sports channel on sky - 419 is the best bet for early season stuff, they do re-runs of winter xgames and dew tours but also do a show called "tracked" (i think) which follows pros about but its from the early 90s so the stuff isnt as gnarly as more recent guys!

have you tried ski republic?
they are cheap but not sure on their ranges

double post? has that link been shared before? thats quite an angry face to use trencher!!

yeah we got that "foragonal" movement thing drilled into us at our course but he explains it way better and in fairly layman terms
