I went from never putting skies on before to confidently going down blues. It’s incredible how much you learn in such a short space of time. My friends saw me ski and were impressed with how controlled I looked on the slopes. A special shout out to Claire the instructor, couldn’t have done it without her energy, enthusiasm and positivity she gives you confidence to keep going, learning and improving. Her constant feedback and top tips ensures you improve. Thank you!
I would highly recommend!
