We’ve teamed up with our friends at New Generation to offer Off Piste Adventure holidays and Ladies Only Snowboarding weeks. You can combine 1,2 & 3 on a holiday to Val d’Isere! They’re on an all inclusive basis so you combine your usual Le Ski chalet holiday with a lift pass and brilliant instruction in English and save up to £220.
Let’s start with the off piste weeks. We’ll be running two different levels: firstly, a beginners week for skiers who have looked at the vast expanses of twinkling snow outside the piste markers, but haven’t a clue where to start and generally fall over and get all hot whenever there’s powder on the piste. We’ll help you to adapt your technique to the deeper stuff, show you how to understand the mountains a bit better and instruct you on how to use avalanche rescue kit (hire of the kit is included in the price). For those who have skied powder before but want to venture further afield, we have the Explorer’s Week. We’ll show you how to understand the snowpack, give you guidance on how to explore the mountains safely and tips on improving your technique. Sounds fun? Click here to read more.
This next bit is strictly Girls Only! You don’t have to pretend to be "cool", "sick", "gnarly", "steezy" or wear colourful baggy gear, you just need to be up for some fun and a bit of a challenge! If you’re already a skier (doesn’t matter what level) and fancy trying something different, then join in our five 2-hour lessons in Ladies Learn to Snowboard Week. Everything’s included, from lift pass to instruction to board hire and unlimited wine during dinner; there’s also a hot tub for post-piste-pampering.
