Season 2010/11
“I was so impressed with Parallel Lines and John. Having had 2 years with ESF I expected just another guide, but what I got was excellent, enthusiastic tuition that got me from only blues at the beginning of the week to my first black run. I’ve already recommended you to others and will definitely be rebooking for next year. Thanks John – you’re a star!”
Niamh McGuire
“Great lessons – Ed is really helpful and explains techniques very well. He makes black runs feel much easier than expected! The lessons were great fun and really relaxed.”
Angela Rosier
” Neil (my instructor)was briliant! he stuck with me and eventually got me doing parallel turns. I am nervous and it has taken a long time for me to get to the parallel turn, to the point of giving up. I felt I had made a major achievement so thank you Neil for that!!”
Aiveen Atkinson
“Three of us had private lessons with Phil who was just fantastic. I’ve had lessons before so have some comparison and Phil was much better – he really seems to be able to pick up individual issues with technique and was great at describing what we should be trying to do (which was not the same for everyone in the group). Plus he isjust a lovely fun guy so it was like being taught by a friend!”
Tanya Ong
“Clever analogies, interesting and was a turning point for me as I gained confidence and didn’t play Follow the Leader which is all I did when with other ski schools. Terrific”
Michelle Thérézien
“Eddie was a great instructor; made us ver at ease. He obviously made an impact – we ended up becoming red cruisers for the rest of the week! “
Kevin Rogers
“Instructors worked the kids hard and achieved good results, but were also very friendly and considerate towards their pupils. A very well-organised set-up which I would definitely recommend to others. Small classes were an added bonus!”
Sheila Scott
“This is our 4th year of using Parallel Lines and we are still absolutely delighted. We could not recommend you highly enough and our children just love their lessons and have made amazing progress. Thank you very much!”
Charlotte Davis
“The booking process was so easy and efficent and all my questions were answered immediately! Gregor was a great instructor. As a complete beginer, on that first morning i never thought i would be happily neogiating the Meribel slopes by the end of the week – but i was! Thank you to you all. I cant wait to be on the slopes again next season!”
Nicola Williams
“Phil was fabulous!!! He was patient,encouraging,fun and a great instructor.We loved our lessons and cant wait to come again!!!”
Michaela & Rob Shuter
“Would highly recommend Parallel Lines – Paddy had a fantastic first week of skiing with John and we were thrilled with his progress. We appreciated your generosity and understanding too over our complicated booking.”
Paddy Cooper
“I thouroughly enjoyed my lessons with Nick- and felt my technique and confidence improved a lot over the week. I was in a very supportive group – which was a great learning atmosphere- and it was great to be able to tackle new runs together after the lessons. Despite being in a group- I felt that Nick paid close attention to us individually during the week, and gave constructive advice on how we could each improve.”
Sarah Priscott
“A brilliant experience, level 3 and I was parallel on day 2 and then off to higher runs inc reds. Nick’s style, language, pace and simple explanation were easy to follow. I’ll be back.”
Andy Crabtree
“We thoroughly enjoyed our Progress to Parallel lessons with Neil. He struck exactly the right balance between explaining concepts using helpful examples and amusing analogies (push the button, squeeze the ketchup bottle etc etc) and letting us try it out for ourselves. I think every member of the group felt they improved in some way, and we definitely thought it was the best tuition we had experienced. If we come back to Meribel, we shall definitely let you know! Big thanks for Neil, and also to Nell, and Emily, who handled our booking. Best wishes, Charlotte & James.”
Charlotte Moss
“We really benefited from the small all-adult classes and the flexibility shown moving people within groups as they progressed. Both John and Phil were very patient with us as we were complete novices, they are excellent instructors. It was also great to know that we would be having English speaking instructors.”
