Frequently Asked Questions
 

Do all F2S instructors speak English?

Yes, for all but one of us English is our first language. Luc is Dutch but his English is excellent. We understand this is very important to you.

Where is your meeting point for lessons?

Most of our lessons start and finish in front of the Prodain Telepherique in Avoriaz. We can sometimes arrange to meet groups at the top of the Ardent telecabine in Lindarets, and the top of the Super Morzine telecabine too if it fits our schedule.

I have previously had bad experiences with other ski schools - will F2S be different?

We often hear stories of inpatient instructors, a lack of general care and massive class sizes. We are the opposite to all of these and pride ourselves on these qualities..

Why are F2S lessons more expensive than some local ski schools?

We do not rely on large numbers to fill classes so therefore must charge more. All our lesson prices reflect the quality service you will receive. To qualify as a BASI ISTD level instructor, it currently takes an average of 6 to 7 yrs of hard training, assessment and commitment.

My child thinks ski classes are boring!

Our Freedom Seeker, Rider and Teens courses are designed to be fun, challenging and exciting. We will ensure your children and teenagers get as much skiing as possible in a safe encouraging environment but still learn and improve dramatically. We understand that standing around for ages at the side of the slope can be really dull, so we keep explanations short, simple and effective. So many of the children we teach each winter rebook with us again each year.

Are lift passes and/or ski-hire included in the lesson costs?

No, I'm afraid you will need to sort these extras out first. All first week beginner Avoriaz based lessons will only require local 'Avoriaz ' lift passes. (Less expensive than the PDS pass). For confident blue run and above skiers we would normally recommend purchasing the ‘Portes du Soleil’ pass. This will enable you ski into Switzerland and explore the area
