Visitor comments

  • "This was our third season having lessons with JP - we find him to be informative, patient and fun. We are intermediate skiers but often need that first day confidence boost after experiencing the feeling of "I've forgotten how to ski" from the previous season. That feeling is gone within the first five minutes and we progress and learn new skills to make the rest of our holiday very enjoyable. Will be using for a fourth season in 2017!" - Trip Advisor
  • "I felt I was a poor intermediate skier that had lost confidence so decided to book a 3 hour lesson with AIM. It was my first lesson as an adult for many years - I felt nervous and a little intimated. I really shouldn't have as my instructor was friendly and immediately put me at ease. He was positive, encouraging and helped me feel in control of my skiing and so by the end if my lesson I was feeling so much more confident - in his words, I could now ski down almost anything with confidence and that really stayed with me! I would definitely recommend AIM - very worthwhile & money well spent." - Trip Advisor
