Caron-a,
Looks good to me - plenty of snow everywhere. We went to Obergurgl the first week of Jan the year there was a snow shortage everywhere ? '07 and we still managed to ski okay there. Everyone kept apologising for the lack of snow but it seemed fine to me. Have a great time, Ally |

Pablo,
You'll have to nip up there with a camera before it gets dark, to settle this argument :D |

Never mind Tony, you can always sit at the back and make paper aeroplanes :D :D
Snowbandit - that's great you're going now. I was getting a bit worried about all this childish squabbling myself. Clearly they need you to keep them all in order. Ally |

What a clever browser. How long did it take you to train it to do that trick? :D :D

Pablo,
Well,I suppose Admin won't mind, because it was only a link, but trying to find you (I assume that's you) in the photo was like trying to find a needle in a haystack full of snow :D Ally |

My two kids (both pretty much grown up now) have had ski-ing lessons with 8 different ski schools in 5 different countries. Some of the instructors have been excellent, most of them pretty average, and 2 really awful ones out of a total of 11 instructors.
I don't think the quality of the lesson is as much to do with the ski school as the individual ski instructor one gets - which I think is pretty much a case of pot luck. Most of the esf ones we have had (I have lessons as well) have been fine. We've only had one bad one (the one who kept deliberately losing his pupils), and even he did teach me the 'mid-position' and how to pole plant once I'd worked out how to stop him from losing me. I don't know what esf is like in Flaine, but I don't suppose they're any worse than they are elsewhere. Anyway, best of luck with finding some good instructors for the kids in your group. Ally |
