Ski-ing Lessons
|
|
|
| I have been a recreational skier for over 14
years now, and I have enjoyed every minute of my time spent on the slopes, both plastic
artificial slopes and on snow. Only recently, have I started taking things a
little more seriously and I have completed a Ski Instructors Course that is run by the
English Ski Council. I do most of my teaching at Halifax Ski & Snowboard Centre
as it is my local slope.
I specialise in giving lessons to small groups of people (5 or less) from complete
beginners to the more advanced skiers. That's not because I can't do bigger groups,
but I feel that this is better for the individual or small group as each skier gets more
runs on the slope in the same hour as compared to what you would get in a large group of
15+. |

Attention
Ski/Snowboard Instructors :-
I am getting many requests for Ski-ing and Boarding lessons that I can
not possibly fulfil. I am therefore looking to build up a list of Qualified
Instructors (ESC and BASI) from different slopes in the UK that I can contact, and put
them in touch with people who want lessons. If you are a Qualified Snowsports
Instructor and would be interested in this, please e-mail me and let me have your details.
Please Note : At the moment I will only take two instructors for each slope in the
UK. (1 for Ski-ing and 1 for Snowboarding) So first come first served. |

requirements. |

a very understanding boss!!) |
| Weekday mornings and early afternoons are usually the best as my local Dry Ski Slope is
usually very quiet during these times. |
| If you require a series of lessons (prior to a holiday), or longer than 2 hours, please
contact me as special rates are available for this. |

How To Book Your Lesson
|
|
|
| You can contact me by phone on 07836 561693 or e-mail me at ski-lessons@amc-comm.demon.co.uk
When telephoning or e-mailing, please supply the following information.
| Your Name |
| Address |
| Contact Telephone Number |
| Preferred Venue For The Lesson. |
| A couple of preferred dates and times for your lesson. (These are subject to change as I
will have to contact the venue and see if the appropriate slope is free for your preferred
dates. The dates and times will be confirmed before the booking is finalised) |
| Number of people in group. |
| Each persons Height, Weight and Shoe Size. (This is required to ensure you get the
correct size equipment, boots, ski's, etc) |
|
| The e-mail bookings will be confirmed by return of e-mail. |
| Payments are to be made, cash only, at the start of the lesson at your selected venue. |
|
On The Day Of Your Lesson
|
|
|
| Please turn up 15 - 20 minutes before the lesson starts. This enables you to get
fitted out with the correct boots and ski's. |
| Please wear suitable clothing for outdoor weather. If it is pouring down with rain
and blowing a gale, the lesson will still go ahead. (The only time a lesson will be
cancelled is due to very extreme weather, and I will notify you of this before the
lesson). I recommend a pair of waterproof trousers and a sensible
coat/jacket. Please don't wear expensive/fashionable clothes as they may get damaged
when you fall over. Jeans are seriously not advised. |
| Gloves are essential to protect your hands and fingers. |
| If it is cold, bring a hat. |
| Socks are important for your comfort too. Try and wear a long pair of socks that
cover up at least half your calf muscle. If it is your first lesson, don't worry too
much about this, but if you enjoy your first lesson, a good pair of sock are a worthwhile
investment. |
|
Terms And Conditions Of A Booking
|
|
|
| If you are going to arrive late, please telephone me and let me know what time you
expect to arrive. As all lessons are scheduled into each slope, if you arrive 10
minutes late for the start of the lesson, and there is another one booked directly after
you, your lesson shall only be for the remaining time and the full hours fee is payable. |
| If there is extreme weather, and the lifts are closed because of the wind, I shall try
and contact you before your lesson to cancel it. If this happens no fee shall be
charged if the lesson is re-booked. If the lesson is not re-booked, a nominal fee of
£5.00 per person shall be charged. |
| Prices are correct at time of publishing, but are subject to change without prior
notice. (The only prices likely to change are the equipment hire prices at each
venue) |
| Please note : Ski-ing can be a dangerous sport. I accept no
liability for any injuries sustained whilst you are learning to ski. If it is your
first time ski-ing, tell me when booking and during the lesson I will teach you the proper
way to fall to minimise any injuries. |
