I went on the week-long MINT Technical Performance Camp in Morzine/Avoriaz to improve my fledgeling snowboarding. I had a really great experience with the MINT coaches I encountered. The camp is extremely well organised and people can be moved from one group to another if required, depending on their skill level and needs. My coaches were Jorge and Gerard, and I couldn't have been happier with their instruction and coaching styles. Everyone I hung out with from the MINT team in the bar/at dinner were really friendly and fun people. The arrangement with Treeline Chalets for airport transfers, accommodation and food is excellent and it was the best chalet experience I've had so far. I started the week as a not-quite-beginner, not-yet-intermediate and by the end of it I was boarding with so much more fluency, confidence and technique than I could have envisaged, definitely got out of the experience more than I had expected. One initial concern was that as a 32-year old I would be attending a camp full of teenagers/the gap year crowd, but I was informed by the MINT team prior to booking that the age ranges mostly between 25 and 60-something, and this was exactly what I found - a great group of people of all ages to spend a week with as a solo traveller (the vast majority of people here were also solo travellers). I would recommend this camp for anyone from absolute beginner to more advanced and I will certainly be returning for another week next season.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Morzine. Our 2 young children (aged 3&5) had their first private lesson with Tom-who was a well experienced lovely guy! I would highly recommend this company! Tom had a great approach towards our boys and clearly instructed them through out their lesson (from putting on their skis to checking their clothing and finally ensuring they learnt, listened and had fun!) Thank you to all at BASS!! online booking was informative and well instructed!! Excellent service!! From Laura, Glen, Tom & Fyn McCready

Skiwithease really was so easy to deal from the initial booking as Lorna responded very quickly with clear communications & then they helped me ski easily! I had an absolute ball with Miha yesterday - made my holiday (& birthday!)! He had so much patience, improved my confidence massively & his teaching methods were brilliant - definitely the best ski lesson I’ve ever had! Highly recommend!

My Boyfriend and I have an intermediate snowboarding level and we booked a 2 hours private session with Fred. It was really great. Fred told us what we needed to improve to better ride. He brought us off-slopes and in the snowpark, always providing great tips. He is really passionate and professional, we highly recommend that school.

This is the first year we have taken our 4 & 5 year old skiiing as a family in Flaine. Virginie whom we emailed to book everything with was fantastic from prompt emails, clear booking forms and general reassurance emails to me before we came. A lovely friendly lady in person too! Then upon arrival I had a private instructor 'Michele' for a few hours as a 'refresher' as I haven't skied in 10 years who was extremely calm and patient with me. Gave me back my confidence. Also we didnt stop so really got my monies worth. My two children had 'Seb' who was happy, calm, patient (unlike some instructors we seen) and the kids loved him! He understood my children's needs and that my son was of a better ability than my daughter so tried to take him down larger slopes and because of him it brought a tear to my eye watching my children ski for the first time, and now want to come back again! It may of been because we went out of term time (yep tut tut) but they only had 4 in their ski club so almost private tuition which was ace. A break mid way through with a snack and a drink and toilet stops. Cant fault it.
