I can’t express how grateful we are for Stephanie teaching us how to ski! We had 3 sets of 2 hour lessons and the progress we made was remarkable, the school has great facilities. We were adults learning for the first time and although it’s a humbling experience it instructor was good at keeping us positive and progressing. Can’t recommend it enough.
