THERE'S
NO BUSINESS LIKE SNOW BUSINESS! And this season
it has snowed and snowed giving us the most consistent
conditions in memory. Thanks to Grand Valira and
the Soldeu Ski School for their help as always.
We are currently discussing next season's programme
and will post the dates and prices as soon as they
are finalised (usually August).
December,
January and Spring courses were great with
fantastic snow right upto the 17th April! Well
done to all our candidates and thanks
to our Canadian colleagues who inject so much energy
and enthusiasm into the programme.
If you have any queries
please contact Sandie as
usual.
What a successful season we had with our pass rates
on the CSIA Courses. Once again we will be flying our Course Conductors
over the 'pond' from Canada to coach and coerce you into better practice
and skills ...
Sadly we were notified
on 29th October that the CSCF will NOT
be running any more overseas coaching courses.
We thank them all for their contribtion
to our success over the years...
Such
high standards and a wicked sense of humour, it's a strong cocktail!
Small groups get right down the the nitty gritty - and the results
keep on coming! ...
SPRING COURSE 2008 We sent our tame camerman out and about in April
and we've got some great shots. Check out the Class of 2008-9 ...
Smiles all round for Spring snow

The new Avet piste (above)

the start of February, perfect conditions
and great racing. Women's World Cup events
