As promised, here is the next chapter of “Ski lessons – the alternatives”. If you like to ski in the finest ski resorts in the French Alps, then you are certainly familiar with the resorts of Chamonix and Megeve. Here, everything is top class – luxury chalets and ski apartments, gourmet restaurants and, of course, some of the most outstanding skiing in the world. However, do you feel that your skiing or snowboarding skills do not come up to scratch? Are you struggling to keep up, frustrated with your performance but have no idea what you’re doing wrong? Well, I think I've found the solution – ski lessons with the BASS elite snow sports school.
To be precise BASS is The British Alpine Ski and Snowboard School. The BASS Network of elite snow sports schools is a group of highly professional, motivated people crazy about snow sports and helping people make the most out of their ski lessons and therefore, their ski holidays. After being in the business for more than 20 years and spending time with thousands of clients, BASS still has the same goal in mind – your success and enjoyment!
Big egos need to stay at home! BASS ski lessons are all about accepting constructive criticism, learning, sharing the experience and feeling the reward! Oh, and most importantly, having fun! Many people stop taking ski lessons too early and the result is that the basics are not ingrained in the mind, or in the body. Skiing and snowboarding are particular sports that we practice intensely for 1 week, once or twice a year. Many people say “it’s like riding a bike” but I believe (and know from experience) that this is not the case. After a year’s break, if you get off to a bad start on your ski holidays, due to bad weather or snow conditions, bad physical condition or just because your head is still behind your laptop in your office, the whole week on the slopes can be more of a nightmare than a relaxing, fun ski holiday. BASS believe that everyone can benefit from ski lessons at any age and at any level just like the best sports people in the world benefit from continuous coaching during their sporting careers. Remember “practice makes permanent but correct practice makes perfect.”

The BASS ski school based in Megeve organises ski lessons in Megeve, Saint Gervais and Les Contamines. By choosing BASS in Megeve, you will learn to ski, or improve your skiing or snowboarding skills while really enjoying your days on the slopes.

A great quote from one client “I can’t thank James enough - I was so apprehensive to return to skiing and after James’ patient and skillful tuition I was able to find the joy and confidence in my skiing again. Fantastic!!“
The ski area is called the Evasion Mont Blanc area which is the 3rd largest in France with its 445 kilometres of tree-lined ski slopes. The Evasion Mont Blanc ski area boasts 219 slopes, 107 ski lifts and 650 artificial snow makers. This vast playground offers 2 snow parks for freestyle fanatics and a great choice of off-piste on Mont Joly or towards Saint-Nicolas. It is very quiet compared to other areas even at the peak times and is a true hidden gem.

Being lucky enough to have parents who were crazy about skiing, my love for the mountains started when I was 4 years old on our first family ski holiday to Austrian ski resort of Obergurl. One ski holiday a year was never enough and tears rolled down my face as I looked out the back window of the car on the drive down the valley on the way home!
