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.

Our 8 year old daughter and her friend had 6 days of private lessons with James at Morzine. They both did fantastically well under his tutelage, going from complete novices to skiing on blue runs and even being able to ski backwards! They thoroughly loved the lessons and my daughter cried at the end of the week when it was all over. Our younger son was with a different instructor from the same company (Mikey) and he also had such a positive experience, as did the other 3 children in his group - always seen smiling and zipping along the slopes. They adored Mikey and were always full of before, during and after their lessons. Needless to say, we would highly recommend the company for children and the instructors we had.

Anja's the best! We've just finished our 2nd ski holiday with a week of morning lessons with New Generation, both times we've had a great experience. My 2 girls and I starting learning 3 yrs ago, now aged 10 and 13 the girls are confidently flying down reds with solid technique thanks to the New Generation team. Kids lessons are fun, and they especially adored having Anja last year who makes sure they have the right position and mindset, all through fun activities like dance moves to music she plays on the go, jumps, mini moguls, backward skiing, skiing on 1 ski, always upbeat and always happy! I had the pleasure of Anja as my instructor this year. Anyone who started to ski in their 40s might well appreciate the anxiety that comes as part of the package! By the end of last year's holiday I was starting to get the hang of it but still was very apprehensive at the start of this week. Blue runs were do-able but for the most part not enjoyable! Anja built my confidence by concentrating on the right position with a good bit of positive psychology thrown in, so much so that by the end of the week she had me going down red runs with enough confidence in my technique that I knew I could get down any slope. Knowing how to correct my position and to have control on slopes that would have given me palpitations just looking at before my lessons with Anja feels like a massive achievement - I can't than Anja enough! We'll be back next year (and this time I'm actually looking forward to it!)

Reviewed By jan_alsfasser

Martin is an excellent snowboarding coach. I took part in the off piste camp. On the first day we had not so great conditions and Martin gave us some very useful technique lessons. Later in the camp we were lucky and got fresh powder. With Martins local knowledge and experience he showed us some really nice lines in the off piste. Just right for our ability. Had a lot of fun! I would book this camp again.

Reviewed By Wintersportsfan

These guys are fantastic at every level of skiing. They take complete beginners, adults and children right through to running avalanche courses and off piste guiding days. Last week a group of friends were taken to multiple places around the area to discover the delights of fresh powder. Everyone had an amazing experience in brilliant bluebird day conditions. Thanks for everything Rory.
