This is taking a little longer than anticipated but all dates will be published by 8th September 2010. Thank you to everyone who has enquired. We appreciate your continued patience!

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 ...
Such
high standards and a wicked sense of humour, it's a strong cocktail!
Small groups get right down to the nitty gritty - and the results
keep on coming! ...
SPRING

blast in Soldeu. We have been blessed with
great snow for a few years and there's always
a great atmosphere on and off the hill!
