Another great week with Snoworks in Meribel. Great fusion of guiding and coaching. Local knowledge always maximises the experience. Always a sociable group – so no issues if you are a solo skier. Second time with Lee and Dave for me and first for my son who is now hooked on the all mountain approach to skiing and is looking to return next year with a friend for the freeride course. Highly recommended if you want to push the envelope in a safe and supported way.
We had a fantastic time. David found us great snow and we learnt a lot all week. He was an enthusiastic and empathetic instructor.
Our instructor Sam was excellent. He really pushed me and I feel I have really developed with skiing off piste. You can see that all the instructors just love skiing so much and their enthusiasm is unwavering. I’m really looking forward to booking again soon and would also love to bring my son along at some point in the future.
