AllyG, the law on this is clear and unequivocal, not only in France but also the other alpine countries and as Volf mentioned these laws have been in force for many years. Your translation of encadrer is (in this context) wrong the correct translation is accompanying. Any activity that involves the paid accompaniment of people participating in snow sports has to be carried out by a qualified instructor, details the French qualification and equivalent qualifications are to be found here: http://formationski.prosneige.fr/english/snow-sports-diploma.php
The EU law argument is a non starter as the French are not preventing anybody from working, they are just requiring that the people doing the work are adequately qualified, which they are perfectly entitled to do.
The UK TOs have known this for years, there have been other successful prosecutions but these have largely gone unreported. I suspect that this case has received so much attention because Peter Hardy, the Telegraph's skiing correspondent is also an employee of Le Ski http://www.leski.com/chalet-holidays/clinics.
The Italian law is very similar to the French law, see section 9 of this paper http://bormioforumneve.eu/3_Report/GB/Dr.%20Carlo%20BRUCCOLERI.pdf presented by Dr Dr.Carlo Bruccoleri honorary vice president of the Supreme Court of Cassation (Italy's highest court) to the European law forum on winter sports in 2005.
By writing to the French authorities on this matter you might well have informed them that you have witnessed a crime, maybe the French police will want to interview you.

This is a round up of some of the latest news on this story:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/snowandski/9888004/Why-France-is-wrong-to-ban-ski-hosts.html
This is what PlanetSki have to say about it:
http://www.planetski.eu/news/4687
They say they think the Leader Service with the Ski Club of GB is going to be allowed to continue:
The Ski Club of Great Britain has announced it will be continuing with its leading service in France.
It is able to do so as its leaders are unpaid volunteers though they do have most of their expenses paid including accomodation, lift pass, food and travel.
This is a recording of a BBC 4 radio interview on it (with some other stuff at the beginning of it). If someone would please listen to it and then tell me what it says I'd be very grateful, as my internet speed is too slow for me to be able to hear it :(

Thanks very much SwingBeep, it was most interesting :)
If I go quiet all of a sudden, for an extended period of time, you will know that I have had a knock on the door and been taken away under arrest to France :shock:
