Another excellent week with Snoworks. Jenny and Euan were superb leaders and found some great skiing for the group even on days with less than ideal conditions. Most importantly they made it a lot of fun.
Thank you for another great Snoworks experience. Jenny knows La Plagne better than the back of her hand and guided us to lots of off piste powder snow that we could not have skied safely without her. And she and Dave took and shared lots of photos and videos of everyone. Thanks to all – I’ll definitely be back to ski with Snoworks again.
Brilliant course with great instructors, despite the weather at the start of the week not a minute wasted. Learnt loads and had a great week. Thank you
