Hi All

First post on the site so hi to everyone. :D

I'm heading out to Alpe D'Huez on the 5th of Jan(Chalet Anita). Its our second skiing holiday. Last time we had a full weeks learn to ski package.This time we want to have a few hours of instruction over the week having the rest of the week to practise. Are we best to book the instruction in advance or when we arrive and has anyone got any recommendations of who to book.

Thanks

Noddy

If Adults then the British Materclass was recommended to us via one of the chalet owners, though we didn't end up going to Alpe D'huez in the end, so cannot comment on the lessons, but have seen them mentioned somewhere else, I think the Ski Club of Great Briain site!

Yep was Ski Club see link - http://www.skiclub.co.uk/skiclub/resorts/gssg/resort.asp

then choose the resort, Alpe D'Huez, and under the comments half way down the page they are mentioned as highly recommended.

We have just returned from Alpe D'Huez and have nothing but praise for British Masterclass. Stuart has advanced our technique no end in the space of 4 hours.

Nice to meet another j2ski boarder in Jeff Smith.

Hi my opinion of ESF,if you are in the top half
of your group lesson they are fine. They do not seem to understand that learning orta be fun as in Austria and Italy,the fact that sum of us have never been on skis until we are in our well out of our teens and self preservation kicks in on a blue run seems totaly alien. Saying that if you want to be pushed especialy at a higher level cannot fault.
