A great trip - as always
Excellent all around standard of care, probably even better then my previous 12 years here Excellent food and very attentive staff. As usual the teaching by Nick and his team was the best I've known. He is one of the very few teachers I know who just loves to make anyone ski better. He has to work hard with me but has succeeded! It was all helped by the snow arriving 2 days before we did!
