 Many of us who have been skiing for years & years know we need some help but somehow cant face taking lessons & losing the opportunity of free skiing with friends & risking signing on with expensive teachers who aren't much help into the bargain.
This is the solution!
Dave Beattie is a Scottish BASI instructor who formed his ski school in Courchevel with all English speaking BASI grade 1 instructors 16 years ago (those of you who know anything about the French restrictions on other nationalities teaching there will know how good these guys need to be to satisfy the French of their ability).
Dave now lives in Courchevel all year. I sought him out having been recommended several times by my serious skiing friends! Dave has now taken chalets for the season & personally supervises their staffing to ensure good chalet accommodation & service BUT unlike other chalet operators he includes free ski lessons with the very best qualified instructors rather than just guiding. We will all therefore be able to enjoy staying together & going off to lessons together in the morning & then start our free skiing late morning (sometimes with a guide) in groups of our own choosing.
|  Those who prefer to board can pay a supplement & have 3 hours tuition a day (as opposed to 2hours ski tuition) with the boarding school that Dave works closely with. Beginners & less experienced skiers are always welcome on our holidays but on this one they will feel much more part of the group because even experienced skiers will be heading towards SKIVOLUTION. We try as far as possible to have all our lessons at the same time so that we can meet up afterwards for lunch & free skiing. Lessons are Sun/Mon/Tues/Thurs/Fri with Wednesday left free for guiding
If you can stand it they will show you what you are doing on video later!
To be sure you have the right equipment Dave has his own hire department & offers servicing for those taking their own skis.
Look up the holiday on www.skivolution.co.uk & check the details for yourselves then let me know if you are interested & ask any questions you would like to. Once you are ready to commit I will ask you to send me a £100 deposit cheque payable to Skivolution so that you are contracted to them as the tour operator.
IF YOU CAN ONLY AFFORD ONE SKI HOLIDAY THIS YEAR THIS IS IT!
Look forward to hearing from you & answering any questions you may have.
Best wishes
Ruth Paul

Our March week is usually another great party with over 60 guests this year. The accomodation in March is split between La Tania & Le Praz it is easy to ski back into either & use the local free bus to get back to the other village if necessary. Skivolution have also

way for those staying in Le Praz

chalets after Courchevel has closed for the season! They are going to
provide a daily minibus transfer (20 mins) to Meribel Mottaret to ski on to
Val Thorens & have 4 hours coaching there on the glacier every day. This is
an ideal way to extend the season, have the opportunity of skiing Val
Thorens & finish with some top quality coaching whilst also enjoying spring
in Le Praz.( If any keen skiers have partners whp prefer to walk or paint or
whatever this could be the ideal combination)
Elise £530 (plus single supplement £150)
please see details of available transfer times & descriptions of each chalet
on www.skivolution.co.uk
| Transfers
Chambery & Geneva £55
Lyon & Grenoble £60

Most of us value the lessons that are included on all Skivolution holidays & they are very useful in helping you to identify the skiers you want to spend the afternoon with----but that could be achieved if we organised
guiding groups at different levels too-----please tell me if you want to continue with 5x2 hour lessons or whether perhaps you would like guiding instead maybe 5x4hours or whatever?----it is not necessary for everyone to agree on this as some could book guiding & some lessons--no variation in price.
If you are ready to book just please email or telephone to reserve your room and then post a cheque for £100 payable to Skivolution to me at the address below marked Singlesport. I am very happy to chat on the phone & answer all your queries.
Looking forward to skiing again already but hope to see some of you before that.
