Aloha Skiing Friends for the 2007-2008 Season

The four axioms of Flaine.

1. In snow we trust. Flaine's microclimate brings surprise dumps, cold, starry nights that recrystallize and dry the snow pack. Unexpected storms arrive early and drop a metre of the bubbliest champagne powder.
2. In champagne powder we share. We will be rewarded with more powder, deeper powder and lighter powder. The snow always falls faster than we can ski it. Our tracks may disappear overnight but the experience stays with us forever.
3. In terrain we conquer. Groomers, bumps, powder peaks and parks. Think soft landings, smooth turns, and killer corduroy runs. Nobody does it better.
4. To one resort we are faithful. Remember the first time you caught a snowflake on your tongue. Imagine yourself in Flaine, you're smiling. Ski resorts are measured by what they have. Flaine is measured more accurately by what it lacks ‑ crowds, lift lines and the attitude of glitz. At times the only sound you hear are your own skis swooshing through soft snow with an entire run, mountain and valley to yourself. Whether you ski or board here you are amongst brothers and sisters. Welcome to the brotherhood of Flaine, unpretentious and all about fun. When the mountains work their magic and you fall under their spell, the laughter returns.

Private lessons, always tailored to your level and area of focus. Every season skiing mutates and evolves by increments, and every season I take a look at the new technique and make sure I'm evolving with it. There are fundamentals to every sport, and guidelines for getting the most out of your lessons. I bring you a series of drills, skills and tactics designed to have you ripping a zipper line sooner than you'd imagine possible. Whether your goal is to board or ski beautiful carved turns, ski powder or moguls, or ski longer without aching muscles, take the first step and book your private lesson. Please come and enjoy my exceptional service, consistent quality and attention to detail.
