:shock: Wow. Not the first place you'd expect to find heli-skiing friendly insurance! |

Best not to try that with Ryanair... Sam Wiches are an extra charge... :oops: |

Our very own Mr Stenmark should be along shortly to give you the lowdown on his local stomping ground of Niederau... although I think he's out being taught how to ski "old school" at the moment... did I get that right? :lol:
(pictures, Jan, pictures!) Personally, I don't think group lessons are very cost-effective once you're out of the beginner stage of falling over and crossing skis. If (and it sounds like this is the case) you're already comfortable on skis, then private lessons will be far more effective for you. A good instructor will quickly isolate what you need to work on, given your level of competence and general physical ability. They'll give you exercises specific to you, and take you to places on the mountain that are right for you - not the least able in the group. There's no substitute for one-on-one instruction really; you'll learn and do more in 2 hours than you will in 2 days in a big group. You'll find the whole experience more enjoyable too - it's much easier to build an understanding with your instructor. As it's going to be February when you're there, you may find instructors in short supply so should try to book one now if you can. |

Ski Holiday Soon? Use e-mail? PLEASE READ THIS!
If you're heading off on holiday soon, and are likely to use an Out-of-Office facility, or autoresponder, to reply to e-mails in your absence - please, please, please be careful what you include. Every time we send out our Snow Report e-mails, we get a few hundred "Out-of-Office" replies back to us. Some of these contain a lot of personal information. Regularly we will be told :- - The exact dates that someone will be on holiday. - Who we should call in their absence (names and numbers). - Details of Teams and Project structures. - Personal e-mails by which people can be contacted instead. - Personal mobile and landline numbers. We've even had a few where we're asked to post hard-copy to a personal address! Now that information is safe with us (we rapidly delete them) but those Out-of-Office replies will be going out to every scammer who manages to get a dodgy e-mail past your spam filters (you do use spam filtering software don't you???). Be careful with your identity! Once it's out there it's out of your control. |

Hi, Prosneige give a 5% discount on Group Lessons for j2ski-ers and have instructors with good English skills.
There is a little more information, and the pricing for Private Instruction on our page for Val Thorens Ski Schools, and of course on the prosneige website. Please let us (j2ski) know how you get on - partnerships with ski schools is one area we're looking at for the future. |
