An excellent British instructor(working in the Alps) said that the ski
evolutif was not really used these days, not since carving skis appeared on
the scene. He certainly didn't reckon it worked that well anyway.

I'm going to Les Arcs next year with an effectively novice partner. I
gather that they use the Ski Evolutif system there. Is this standard
or does it have to be booked specifically? How good is it?

We have already booked her lessons (ESF, I think) so we will find out
eventually anyway, but any info would be useful.

My nephew learned to ski with the ESF in Arc 2000 last year and made realy
fast progress. I don't think they used the Ski Evolutif system, but they
did take care to move the pupils between classes to suit their rate of
learning and ended up with confident competent skiers.
