At Chilly Powder we help to organise children from different families or groups in to small private lessons. Our instructors are from the French ski school ESF, however their English is excellent and they are brilliant with children. We use our local knowledge to help you make the most of your holiday and this often proves to be more cost effective than large group lessons. If you’d like us to book your children’s ski school requirements for you, please complete this form. We do however advise that you read the ‘Ski School Facts’ document first.
Lessons are from 9.30am - 12.00noon from Sunday to Friday except during the busy weeks in mid/late February and early March when lessons are from 9.00am - 12.00noon. The ski school charge is per child and there is a maximum of 6 Chilly Powder children in a class.
Should your requirements change whilst you are here we cannot refund any ski school payment.
PLEASE REMEMBER...
- Chilly Powder are booking a private ESF instructors on your behalf
- Chilly Powder cannot be held responsible for any changes made to times, prices or instructors
Prices can be found under the prices section of the Chilly Powder website.
If you wish to request ski school pick-up and drop off for your children, please ensure that this form is accompanied by our Childcare Booking Form as we can only provide this service for children who are registered in our Kids Club.
Please make an accurate recording of your children’s ski ability on the form below. All children will perform a short ski test on their first morning to determine which ski group they are allocated to.
