Private lessons

L2A which is where I learned a couple of years ago with......ESF!
Just goes to show that it's probably luck of the draw on where, when and who you get as an instructor no matter which company....I had a pretty intensive week with 6 half day group lessons and 2 private lessons (I was really useless) with 3 different instructors who were all great.

I learned to ski with ESF in Val Thorens. It wasnt the instructor who was the problem, it was the retards they put me in with )

On days one & two my fellow trainees would have pointed me out as one of the retards! From day 3 it clicked!

Before my first ski holiday I went to the Snowdome in Milton Keynes on an 8 hour learn to ski in a day course. It takes up to approx 11 people per course at around £150 for the day. I went in September and it was only me and one other guy so we got on really well as it was almost a private lesson. My friend went in October and was the only person on the course therefore 8 hours private lesson. My other ski companion didn't get round to her course until December when there was 11 of them - though she still got on well.

So my tip is if you want to go to the Snowdome go now whilst it is still quiet.

Also at MK Snowdome they have a ladies ski morning where you have 2 hours skiing for a reduced price (which inclues coffee and biscuits) and there is an instructor on hand to give tops which could help build confidence after the initial course.

I read it as though they were giving out free fleeces or something

Snowplough, apologies for my typing error it is TIPS they give out in MK not TOPS. The very nice lady instructor who has been there for years looks about 70 years old - you really dont want to see her skiing topless!
