Ski School
I've booked the kids (8 & 6) into the ESI ski school in Flaine. Does
anyone have any experience with the French ski schools? Is it safe to leave them in the hands of the instructor and go off, do a bit of skiing and meet them at the end of the lesson or should we stay within sight of the class? John |

John I don't see why not, I've used the ESI personally and booked friends and family in and they've been fine. I've not used them in Flaine but I see them around and they look pretty good to me.

John, I have not used the ESF for my child but have used other French, Austrian and US ski schools. From what I have experienced the instructor will not thank you for being in sight of your children as you could be a cause of distraction for the kids if they spot you. Clive |

It depends on the child, but in my experience teaching on a dry slope most children do better if thier parents aren't watching -- Chris *:-) Downhill Good, Uphill BAD! www.suffolkvikings.org.uk |

Generally reckoned to be better than the local ESF and one or two very good instructors that I know of personally.
