Took the plunge this year and sent our 5 year old to ski school as much as for him as for us! Although I've been coming to Les Gets for a number of years I hadnt paid that much attention to the ski schools so he ended up here due to a recommendation. ( Two years previously I'd seen an instructor from another school on his phone while teaching infants so at least knew what school I was avoiding!) Was booked in for a 2 hour lunchtime slot with Cederic. This meant we could ski when it was quiet and then have a late lunch..when it was quiet also. Arrived at the meeting point and met Cederic and the 4 other members of his class. Having been stuck in the middle of many never ending ski school snakes, 5 in a class is unheard of. The class were all between 5 and 8 and Cederic managed them wonderfully, even knowing when he needed to jump on a chairlift with a suddenly nervous one. Archie came back enthused each day and had come on so much by the end of the week that we were able to take him on red runs and even sneaked a cheeky black in when on Mont Chery. I was lucky enough to find myself behind the class one day and while it was great to see them all follow their instructor, what was even better to see was Cederic was watching them all the time giving out positive encouragement and instruction. Archie went back to his lesson on the dry slope when we got back this week and his instructor couldnt believe how much he had come on. Without Cederic this wouldnt have happened. Dont go past this ski school, Cederic was fabulous, and I get the impression that all their instructors are that good and attentive as well.

My wife took a Level Three, week-long group lesson with Sylvia and LOVED it. The highlight being the four hours on the last day when they skied Meribel!. My kids and I had three 2-hour lessons with Dave "Barney" Barnett who couldn't have been nicer. So patient with my 11 and 15-year old, he knew how to build their skills and confidence. Hannah and Meghan couldn't have been lovelier on the phone to help make our last-minute bookings work. With lots of schools to choose from, you won't go wrong with New Gen.

We looked for a private instructor for my 10 years old in last minute. Office staff was able to give prompt response and sorted out an arrangement in couple of hours. The instructor helped my son for 8 hours over two days. My son had a great time and we see good improvement. Many thanks Supreme Ski. We look forward to next year

Excellent ski school for kids beginners (6-11 yo) our 8 year old was a Wizard at skiing snowplough after first day and by end of the week was Gobbling up Green runs and Bombing down Blues. The team of Huw and Niall were excellent and there was a perfect balance between fun and learning - and of course plenty of pit stops for chocolate Chaud! The group of 5 kids named themselves Team Dog by 3rd day as they all had Wolf / Dog helmet covers and looked super cute. I highly recommend these guys for kids - just look at the levels of ability for kids ski schools (White Wizards to Red Rippers to Black Bandits) and you’ll see these guys understand how to appeal to kids. My boy will be confident enough next time to join the Blue Bombers! Thanks all at Snowlimits

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.
