Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi,
We're off to La Tania in a couple of weeks (please stay cold, please stay cold, please stay cold....) and looking to book in at least 1 private lesson.
Our normal plan is to spend the first day on the slopes, getting back into it, and eyeing up the various ski schools and instructors. We'll then book a private lesson for the second day with whoever has looked pretty competent with their sessions.
This time our first day will be Easter Saturday, so expecting it to be quite busy in the schools so thought we should book in advance.
Has anyone had any recent experience with any of the snowboarding schools in La Tania or the wider reaches of the 3V? For one lesson we can easily travel a bit further afield to get the right lesson if needs be!
Any suggestions or recommendations would be brilliant, thank you!
Jess.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

I had an excellent experience with Sweet Snow Sports in La Tania. Can't recommend them highly enough.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Cheers, Jess.

For me, I use Marmalade based in Meribel, but they will often be happy to meet you in Courchevel, La Tania, or wherever is convenient.
For my kids I use Magic in Motion, based in La Tania.
I've also heard good things about Sweet, but not used them myself.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Cab9 or RTM would be other good options for La Tania. New Generation have an office there but I'm not sure if they have any snowboard instructors in LT.

Another vote for Magic in Motion out of Meribel for the kids at least. Excellent experience with them this Christmas.

I ear-wigged someone else's lesson for a minute or two and got some very good advice from a New Generation instructor

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

RTM all the way.

You know it makes sense.

Another recommendation for RTM. I know the guys as BASI Trainers, not as instructors*, but highly recommended.
*Someone once suggested to me that the main difference is that a Trainer doesn't have to send you away with a smile on your face...
