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!

We can’t recommend POP Snowboarding enough. We had 5 days of boarding lessons for our two children aged 5&7. Adam was incredible with both kids and we still can’t quite believe how much the kids improved!!! He was so relaxed with them both and they adored him. It was fantastic for us as parents to relax knowing they were is safe hands a learning from an amazing instructor!

This is the third set of lessons with the third different teacher, each teacher had a different style, and all three have been excellent, Stefan, JT and Lily, I feel I have came on leaps and bounds, my confidence is much higher and I know I now have the skill set to come down all but the most challenging of runs, I no longer have that feeling of dread Approaching steeper faster slopes, and pretty much only use blue runs to get to the red runs now, I’ve now also sampled a little off piste which was tricky but done in the most relaxing and gentle of slopes. At no time was anyone in the group under pressure, with people moving up and down groups on a daily basis dependent on their abilities and personal comfort levels, I can not stress enough how professional and friendly Easy2Ride are, my Kids and wife have also been under their instruction and they too love and look forward to lessons and coming back.

Billski Ski School

Reviewed By lucyclare2016 - London, United Kingdom

Enormous thanks to Bill @ Billski for turning our children (son aged 11 & daughter aged 13) from complete, nervous beginners into confident, stylish skiers, who after just a few days nailed red runs and were SO excited about their lessons; which they were dreading before their first lesson. To see their enormous smile on their faces after their first lesson said it all. Really cannot thank Bill enough. The kids loved him; he was cool, funny and so brilliant & such an amazing skier and my son said ‘it’s amazing how much you learn skiing as Bill makes it so much fun and you learn without realising it. Billski really made our holiday! Thank you so much.
