We were recommended to Flo and what a treat. A learned so much in a short space of time it left me wondering why I hadn't done the same years earlier. We immediately asked to book more days but good people are always busy and we couldn't - Flo did try her best but was booked out! We had just what we asked. Some on piste refresh and improvements followed by a couple of hours off-piste where we learned so much and were shown so great spots which we used over our remaining days in resort. Brilliant, still applying the advice given and getting the benefits, just about to plan booking for this winter to take things a little further with a mini-tour and some more off[piste instruction. Thanks Flo and see you this winter.

Corinne is an excellent instructor, i was a bit anxious yet she put me at ease quickly and reassured me that everything would be ok! She ascertained my ability and gave fantastic descriptions of what I needed to do to improve being very patient with me throghout. My partner is more confident on the slopes and Corinne managed both our abilities very well, my partner was off practicing in the powder whist I was attempting just to turn down the slope (something i’ve found very difficult) in terrible weather. With Corinne's guidance i was confident enough to go up again and have another go at the dreaded turns!! I would thoroughly recommend Mayhew Snowboarding to anyone who wants to get the most out of the mountains and themselves.

Did a one-day off piste guided tour/introduction to off-piste skiing with Patrick (instructor/guide). He was nice and friendly, and gave us really good and relevant advice. Despite less than ideal snow conditions, Patrick managed to find some really nice areas to ski. He also adapted and gradually increased the difficulty level to suit our abilities and maintain a nice progression. We had a great day out! Would thoroughly recommend Snocool due to good information and communication as well as a really capable instructor/guide.

Owain exceeded every expectation, I can't recommend him enough. He put me at ease instantly, he has such a natural way with him, what seems to be endless patience and a real passion for the sport and the outdoors. After just one morning with Owain I really turned a corner in my abilities, and after the second day, I had really gained some confidence. Even after the lessons, Owain was still on hand throughout our stay for support and advice. He gave us loads of recommendations for places to visit, slopes to find (all within my ability), and places to eat locally. He even helped my friends (who weren't having lessons with him) as they were having problems with their kit. Owain genuinely goes above and beyond and I can't thank him enough!!! I would go back to Tignes (above all other resorts) simply to have more lessons with Owain, he set the bar high.
