Dorian F. is amazing , just back from a holiday in VT a family of four ( kids 22 and 18 ) we are all different abilities and Dorian is excellent at teaching individually within the group ensuring that everyone is learning and developing technique . Not only the best instructor we have had ( 5 years skiing ) he was the kindest and felt like one of the family . Highly recommend skiing with him for all levels and only wish we had had the foresight to book him everyday of our stay . Thank you so much Dorian xx

Andy Hunter booked a total of 3 hours with Dorian

It was our two boys (4 and 8 years old) first week’s skiing. Dorian taught them for 6 days. He was super friendly and good fun with the boys. He was very safety conscious, and my wife and I were extremely confident that our boys were in good hands. They both learnt a huge amount in the week, and loved skiing with Dorian. My wife, elder daughter and I also had individual lessons and he was great for correcting and improving our techniques. We would definitely recommend Dorian as a superb instructor for any age. Many thanks Dorian for making the boys first skiing experience a fabulous one.

George booked a total of 30 hours with Dorian

Dorian was fantastic! I can’t recommend him enough. Considering there were 3 of us myself, my husband and our 6 year old son, all with different needs and abilities he managed to get the best out of all of us! Dorian became my son’s best friend, he trusted him, had a lot of fun with him and obviously learnt to ski! We all had a great time and hope to book Dorian again next year.

Emma Gillett booked a total of 3 hours with Dorian

Dorian was a perfect teacher, as someone who has never been skiing before I was very nervous but within minutes I had already felt more confident and by the end of the lesson I had learnt in 3 hours what I thought would take me a week to learn. Super friendly and gives excellent feedback, couldn’t recommend enough!

Adam booked a total of 3 hours with Dorian

Dorian was an absolute gentleman. Myself and my partner were both total beginners and very nervous and Dorian put us completely at ease. We have been doing ski school aswell but the one on one lesson was really excellent to fine tune some techniques. We even did a blue run with a smile on our faces! :) would 100% recommend Dorian to anyone in Val Thorens. Such a fun and helpful 3 hours

Bebhinn moore booked a total of 3 hours with Dorian

Great lesson!

Frederic booked a total of 3 hours with Dorian

I’ve been skiing for years but it is only my husbands 4th week. Dorian did a great job of teaching us both and I learned loads too. He’s a great instructor so much better than the “follow me” schools you see all over the mountain. We both got so much out of the lesson. I would recommend Dorian to anyone even groups of mixed abilities.

Rachel booked a total of 3 hours with Dorian

Friendly, excellent teacher, time was well managed

Amazing teacher, attentive and caring. Highly recommend, we had a great day.

Nicole bonetti booked a total of 3 hours with Dorian

Excellent teacher! Dorian coached 3 of us which must be difficult because each of us has different levels, but in the end all of us was able to improve a lot. He gave many exercises and concrete instructions to improve our form, and also general guides regarding the courses in 3 valleys. The day after, we were able to visit the other valley by ourselves with confidence thanks to Dorian's coaching the day before. Worth it to book 1 full day!

Agro booked a total of 1 full day with Dorian

Great instructor, very informative and helping with all new techniques we learnt. Great confidence boost as my main problem was fear when learning to ski. Would highly recommend!

Natasha booked a total of 2 hours with Dorian

Wow! Me and my 2 friends just LOVED Dorian!! He really became our friend. We started with him when we have a really bad technique and after 3 lessons, our technique became really good. He made snowboarding easy. The lessons was so fun, laughed a lot, Dorian is really funny. Dorian, thank you so much!!!

Adar booked a total of 8 hours with Dorian

We had Dorian for 3 sessions (3 hours, 3 hours, 2 hours). He was incredible! His punctuality was beyond impressive, making sure we were out on lifts for the start of our sessions. He managed a mixed group of skill level. Working with a beginner and taking her to parallel by the end. With me he refined technique and reaffirmed the fundamentals. He was friendly, fun and engaging. I am beyond happy with the lessons Dorian provided. His English is superb and his approach for beginners is perfect. Pushing them to improve but doing so in a safe and controlled environment. I would fully recommend booking Dorian if you’re looking for Ski lessons in Val Thorens. Top guy!

Joshua booked a total of 8 hours with Dorian

Helpful & friendly, cant fault him

Rohan booked a total of 3 hours with Dorian

We booked private ski lessons with Dorian for myself, my husband and our 3 children (12,10 and 7) in Val Thorens this week. He was brilliant. We are all different abilities and he was absolutely fantastic with us all. He quickly figured out the different personalities of the kids and how to interact/teach each one of them in the best way. He had perfect English, was so patient and a great sense of humour. Such a lovely guy. We learnt so much! He was so knowledgeable about the area, knew the best runs to take us to suit our abilities and most of all made it alot of fun! We could not believe the difference in everyone's skiing in just afew days. He also taught us parents a lot of safety tips for looking after children (and ourselves) on slopes and lifts and afterwards I felt so much more confident taking the kids all over the resort. I would absolutely recommend Dorian. We are hoping to book again for next year and would 100% book with Dorian again 😊 Samantha, Magnus, Ava, Finlay & Rory (Aberdeen, Scotland) 😊

Samantha booked a total of 9 hours with Dorian

Charlotte booked a total of 3 hours with Dorian

Dorian was great. A 3 hr lesson for 2 adults and my 15yr old daughter. He was able to provide us with individual instruction, and we had a lot of laughs and fun. Really easy going, excellent English and teased my sometimes grumpy teenager. We all really loved the lesson and all improved hugely. Thanks so much Dorian- I would highly recommend.

Allie Thomson booked a total of 3 hours with Dorian

Dorian was brilliant 🤩 and gave me one of the best days skiing I’ve ever had. He has a great sense of humour, patience and is skilful at interpreting instructions. I would not hesitate to recommend him and will be booking him again on our return. Thank you for all you taught us ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Darren booked a total of 9 hours with Dorian

We had a great day with Dorian F, in what could have been tricky conditions for off piste due to sketchy snow depths. He found the best areas, explained why others weren’t suitable then we did a little ski tour in the afternoon. One adult and three teens is not an easy combination, but he delivered a first class experience.

Ian lane booked a total of 1 full day with Dorian

Dorian is an amazingly all rounded coach, who is very kind, punctual and easy to talk to. On top of all that, he is very comedic! His teaching is very systematic and he is determined to help my son improve his skiing. Dorian is so patient and talented - I really couldn’t have asked for a better coach. Would definitely recommend!!

Huilin Hua booked a total of 19 hours with Dorian

kirsty waddell booked a total of 7 hours with Dorian

Me and my wife had private ski lessons with Dorian and he was absolutely fantastic. He is a such a pleasure to be around and his tuition and his excellent personality and fun nature was a pleasure to spend time with. Dorian made our ski holiday so special and I would highly recommend Dorian for anyone that wants excellent tuition and great fun on the slopes. At the start of the week I was a nervous beginner/intermediate who only felt comfortable on easy blue slopes. By the end of my time with Dorian I was skiing steep red runs in Val Thorens and felt so much more confident on skis and in the mountains. Thank you Dorian for making our holiday so special and I look forward to seeing you again for more lessons.

Thanks Dorian! Our 3 chidren had a fantastic week of lessons. Perfect small group teaching full of fun and enthusiasm and we can't belive how much progress they made. :)

Laura booked a total of 18 hours with Dorian

Dorian was really patient with me as I had not skied for four years. He had me progress from green to blue and gave me a lot of confidence to build on. He was also very helpful arranging lunches for us and showing us the best places to go in Val Thorens. Dorian is a fantastic teacher and I look forward to working with him again when I return to the French alps.

Andrew booked a total of 9 hours with Dorian

Dorian was a super star. He was kind a patient and able to cope with a group of mixed abilities. He was accomodating when situations changed and brilliant with the kids. Would recommend to anyone!

Jamie Ward booked a total of 12 hours with Dorian

Deena mcmanus booked a total of 6 hours with Dorian

fantastic lesson! lots of fun and set me up well for the rest of the holiday :)

Emma booked a total of 2 hours with Dorian

Dorian was the perfect alpine host - not only is he a great teacher - who can pitch to different abilities in the same group -but his knowledge of the whole three valley area is superb - from the best places to ski based on weather conditions to many fantastic restaurants recommendations to have those all important alpine pit stops! To my children (aged 12 and 14) Dorian had the wow factor - always seeking out jumps and those ‘extra’ fun bits that children of that age love. Dorian has a great sense of humour! For me, who has skied for just short of 50 years, my knees are not what they used to be and Dorian offered a first class duty of care when I found the conditions tough. Dorian was a wonderful addition to our week’s family skiing holiday in Val Thorens and the wider area and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to every one, whatever your ability!

Tim booked a total of 6 hours and 1 full day with Dorian

Dorian was great. Excellent communication before the lesson to discuss our skiing levels (four of us from lower to upper intermediate) and where to meet. And then very good teaching for each of us individually. Highly recommend

Ian booked a total of 2 hours with Dorian

Dorian was fantastic. He took our girls for morning lessons for 6 days. They absolutely had the most amazing time ever - always safe but always encouraging of fun, snow parks, off piste etc. They learned a lot in 1 week but it was all through play. His technical ability is beyond that of most ski instructors, and that translates into how he teaches - both children and adults (he also gave my husband several tips) His English is perfect. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and will be booking him again when we come back for NY.

Jennifer booked a total of 18 hours with Dorian

Dorian is an amazing instructor. I chose him carefully for a private lessons and it was a great decision. He is an expert - he is the first instructor (in 3rd year of Skiing) to give me the exact guiding for turning, controlling-speed, positioning, confidence and most important - relaxing and... ENJOING. Times were kept exactly - he even insisted of adding 15 minutes that he believed we missed somehow. The time was fully used with zero wasting or garbage time. Very good experience. Highly recommended. Thank you Dorian.

Oded booked a total of 8 hours with Dorian

Dorian was absolutely fantastic. He messaged after booking to establish our needs and arrange a meeting place. We were 2 skiers at different ability levels and the lesson was suited for both of us. He was very patient and the drills we did we very helpful. He also helped us find our way around and pointed out the best runs for us to do after. Cannot praise him enough and wouldn’t hesitate to book more lessons with him on our next trip.

Nicky booked a total of 3 hours with Dorian

Great communication before my lesson. Dorian is friendly, knowledgeable and perfect for me as a beginner to skiing. Highly recommend

Fantastic morning with Dorian. He immediately spotted my biggest improvement points and created consistent excercises to fix them and help me gain confidence in my snowboarding. Cannot recommend him enough!

Elina booked a total of 2 hours with Dorian

Dorian was a great teacher. I can clearly see improvement in my skiing ability. He was very friendly and gave me great tips. The class boosted my confidence on the slopes.

Margot Vanden Eynden booked a total of 3 hours with Dorian

A very professional ski instructor, and a great guy, he helped alot with the psychological aspect of skiing

Carlo booked a total of 2 hours with Dorian

Dorian is a considerate instructor. He takes his time to make sure you have understood his instruction rather than allowing you to continue with the same old faults!

Adam Jerreat booked a total of 3 hours with Dorian

Dorian was great and I’d highly recommend him for anyone wanting to get better quickly. We had a lesson with two of us at different standards of boarding and he improved both of us within a few runs. Great technical feedback delivered in a friendly and very supportive way. Would definitely book again when back in the area.

Richard Burke booked a total of 3 hours with Dorian

Pushed us outside of our comfort zone which was brilliant for us

Will booked a total of 8 hours with Dorian

Dorian was an absolutely amazing ski instructor. Through his vast range of exercises, he took us from almost beginners having not skied in 2 years through to the red runs and some jumps in 3 days of 3 hour sessions. He is understanding and takes time with those less confident and at no stage puts you or anyone around you at risk. We will definitely be back next year and hope Dorian will be around to improve us further.

Sam booked a total of 9 hours with Dorian

Been skiing for four years and booked a refresher afternoon with Dorian. He immediately saw what kind of advise and practice I needed and tailored his training around it

I wouldn’t hesitate to contact Dorian again for further lessons if I return to Val Thorens.

Alana Hennessy-Williams booked a total of 8 hours with Dorian

Belle expérience de 2x3h avec Dorian ! Moniteur très sympa, à l’écoute, pédagogue et qui s’est adapté à nos 4 profils, parents et jeunes adultes. Exercices ciblés et très intéressants pour nous faire comprendre nos défauts et y remédier. Nous recommandons vivement Dorian !

Anne booked a total of 6 hours with Dorian

Dorian is a great teacher, he knows a lot and is very enthousiastic. Would definitely recommend!

Paula booked a total of 6 hours with Dorian

I booked a 4 hour lesson with Dorian on my first day, fairly close to our holiday as Covid restrictions meant everything was very late to be confirmed, I wish I’d had more! Dorian was very helpful in the lead up to the lesson with organising times etc. The lesson itself was brilliant! His patience, sense of humour and technical knowledge are excellent. I’m a nervous intermediate who wants to be able to ski well enough to keep up with my enthusiastic teenage boys and the exercises, guidance and confidence I for from the lesson meant that by the end of the week I spent a day skiing the 3 valleys with them and wasn’t holding them up! I would definitely book more sessions with Dorian if I return to the resort and use Maison Sport again :)

Katy booked a total of 4 hours with Dorian

Dorian was prompt and friendly. His pre-communication was excellent and Esme enjoyed a really good three hour lesson with him. Her skiing was much improved as a result which allowed her to ski with her cousins, keeping up with them, for the rest of the holiday.

Class time Learnt loads Good craic

He was always on time, spoke great English and had a great sense of humour. His in-depth knowledge of the local ski area and resorts was brilliant. Couldn’t recommend him highly enough and we will definitely book with him again.

My two teenage boys spent 6 hours with Dorian in two separate sessions. They thought he was absolutely brilliant - great fun, incredibly skillful and a really accomplished instructor.

Thank you!

Kelly booked a total of 18 hours with Dorian

I can't recommend Dorian highly enough! He contacted me well in advance of the lesson and kindly agreed to meet me outside my hotel. I had only completed a few lessons on dry slope and on indoor snow prior to travelling to Val Thorens. He was extremely patience throughout the lesson and provided regular clear and concise feedback to help me better my technique. His English was excellent and he had a great sense of humour to help ease my nerves. He had some very useful exercises that we worked through during the morning that helped improve my confidence and ability.

To say that Dorian is an excellent ski instructor is an understatement!!! I booked Dorian so I can get my carving technique to the next and I did SO ! He spot the problematic areas we needed to work on right on ! Very patient, Dorian manages to explain everything very smooth and easy. Always smiling Dorian is trying to show the real beauty of skiing, trying to show you that skiing is a game and must be enjoyed to the fullest. I had the greatest three days with Dorian. Couldn’t recommend him more. If you need a ski instructor who will really show why skiing is so great of a sport - Dorian F. Is your guy ! Big ups

Danny booked a total of 6 hours with Dorian

Dorian was an excellent instructor. Myself and a friend booked him for two hours to learn the basics of snowboarding. He was extremely patient with us and very encouraging.

We (a group of 4 adults) just had Dorian for four lessons in Val Thorens. I can only say positive things about him. Dorian is an extremely competent instructor with an excellent attitude.

James booked a total of 6 hours with Dorian

What an amazing time with Dorian, such a brilliant way of explaining things whilst making it fun and pushing me in particular well outside of my comfort zone. Learnt so much in the time we had and my skiing feels so much smoother and controlled. Dorian took our son for an afternoon in the snow park and for some backcountry skiing and he has not stopped talking about it and the tricks Dorian showed him. Absolutely amazing time and thank you ever so much. Would not hesitate to recommend or book again. Thank you.

Rhian booked a total of 8 hours with Dorian

I had 2 private ski lessons lasting 2 hours each from Dorian. I was a little nervous about learning! Dorian managed to teach me a lot of new technical information, which for a complete beginner can be quite a lot, whilst still keeping the atmosphere relaxed and fun. He adjusted the lessons according to my abilities, and gave me many tips, tricks and runs to practice. I would thoroughly recommend him as an instructor, based on the quality of instruction you receive and attention to your personal needs.

Sarah booked a total of 4 hours with Dorian

Booked 8-hours of 1:2 private lessons w/c 9th Feb 2020 in Val Thorens for my son and me. Dorian was fantastic! Amazing coach, always happy, always on time and very engaging. The weather was highly variable during the week; Dorian offered great flexibility to help us hold the lessons in the best weather possible enabling us to get the most out of the time. My son had only skied for 1 week prior to this trip, I have skied a lot more. Dorian helped both of us to learn new skills and improve our technique and enjoyment, including some great power skiing. Thoroughly enjoyable, worth every penny. Highly recommend! Thank you Dorian!

Alistair booked a total of 2 hours with Dorian

Dorian was really fantastic with our very mixed group of : a confident teenage skier, an older skier who had lost confidence, and an even older skier with some pretty ingrained technical faults needing correction. He worked with all 3 of us over the space of 3 lessons and transformed our skiing and confidence, so that everyone was enjoying black runs and moguls on the third lesson. He very quickly identified what we each needed to work on and gave clear messages and instruction on technique. He has a very relaxed, patient teaching style and made the lessons fun and interesting. I would definitely book lessons with him again.

Natalie booked a total of 9 hours with Dorian

My wife had 2x 2 hour lessons with Dorian and came away very happy and a visibly better and more confident skier. Couldn’t recommend him enough.

Will booked a total of 4 hours with Dorian

Absolutely perfect instruction, Dorian was prompt and was excellent on the slopes. He was patient with the beginners and also gave the more experienced skiers techniques to work on. The comments from the beginners were they learnt more in 1.5hrs with Dorian than they did with a full days instruction at an indoor centre in the Uk. I would highly recommend this instructor and we will hopefully be back soon...Thanks Dorian you were brilliant.!!!!!!

Keith booked a total of 1 full day with Dorian

Fantastic instructor! Dorian gave me good tips to improve my skiing. I really recommend him.

Thanks so much. Marc and Regina Lawton.

Gordon booked a total of 3 hours with Dorian

Dorian was amazing. We had a 14yr old who was learning to ski, and two others who hadn't skied in 14 years. He was brilliant at setting exercises for the older two and getting the younger girl to learn the basics of skiing. We did 4 mornings with him and by the end my 14yr old was skiing down Green and Blue runs easily and with confidence. I felt we learnt so much from him and he was great at getting us to push ourselves so that could get the best out of our skiing. Will be booking him again next year for sure.

Dorian is a fantastic ski instructor. He communicates very clearly and is so positive especially during my moments of 'panic' he brought a smile to my face. Due to his extensive technical abilitily he is able to communicate exactly what is not quite working so I was able to correct it with ease. I went from nervously tackling blue runs to nervously tackling black runs in 3 days, most of all really enjoying it! Dorian was fantastic with my son too. I cant recommend him highly enough. Thank you for making our holiday so special we will definitely see you next year.

Danielle booked a total of 5 hours with Dorian

We had Dorian for 3 x 3hour sessions in which he taught skiing for 2 days a snow boarding on the other. We found Dorian to be a great instructor as well as great company. he was able to instruct with easy to follow instructions which were then explained so that we could understand the end goal. He also introduced a few games into the lesson which broke this up. I would without hesitation recommend this guy. 6 stars if I could :)

Very helpful to get us all going again so that we could make the most of our holiday.

Benedict booked a total of 6 hours with Dorian

Dorian gave exceptional guidance whilst with him and excercises to complete when skiing alone to improve our technique. He ensured his time was evenly split between my wife & I and gave us both more confidence after just 2 hours.

Phil booked a total of 2 hours with Dorian

Dorian was an excellent instructor. He was very friendly and spoke very good English. He did exactly what we had wanted him to do, in that he gave us individual tips and instruction and not just follow me down the mountain that we have had in previous lessons. He was very good with our teenage girls and was good fun as well. I would thoroughly recommend Dorian for your ski lessons.

Colleen booked a total of 3 hours and 1 full day with Dorian

Our daughter had a great couple of mornings (6hrs) with Dorian, he really pushed her as requested and tidied up her teqnique and overall improved her skiing. Dorian was super friendly and very smiley putting our daughter at ease straight away and at the end of every lesson he explained what they had done and what she needed to practice. Money well spent! Thank you Dorian from us all especially Elektra. If we ever visit here again we will definitely book Dorian again.

Elizabeth booked a total of 6 hours with Dorian

Aaron booked a total of 4 hours with Dorian

Could not ask for any better instruction! My husband and I are are complete beginners and have had 10 hours worth of lessons with Dorian. Not only did Dorian keep the lessons fun but also challenging enough so that we improved quickly - within 3 days we were doing red runs, getting to see a lot more of the mountains and most of all had enough confidence to enjoy skiing. Overall a few lessons with Dorian was a great investment to our holiday. Would highly recommend!!

David booked a total of 10 hours with Dorian

Dorian was super helpful and catered to all our different levels! He was also very accommodating in letting another person to join the group last minute - would recommend!

Claire booked a total of 4 hours with Dorian

I had two off-piste guided sessions with Dorian: on the first, we had great fun on some fantastic descents and he gave me some really helpful pointers as well to improve my technique; on the second I was pretty sick (and should probably have been in bed) but Dorian stayed positive and was very understanding, despite me skiing like a complete muppet. I'll definitely book with him again next time I'm in Val Thorens.

Alex booked a total of 6 hours with Dorian

We couldn’t have asked for a better instructor for our children. Dorian was absolutely fantastic! He made their lessons so much fun, and they all improved considerably over the week. From starting off as beginners, they were attempting red runs by the end of the week! The children couldn’t wait to see him every day. Dorian is friendly, fun, kind and helpful, not to mention an amazing skiier. Thank you so much!

Claire booked a total of 17 hours with Dorian

I highly recommend Dorian. He is a great instructor, combining technical expertise in teaching with very clear communication about how to improve. I was a pretty much a complete beginner and Dorian helped me progress with confidence to doing green / blue slopes over 3 lessons. I would definitely book Dorian again. Jo

Caroline booked a total of 2 hours with Dorian

I have had Dorian as an instructor a few times now and can't recommend him highly enough. He really knows his stuff. He always has a smile on his face and is so positive. I need a lot of guidance and he is very patient and thorough. My skiing has come on leaps and bounds. He has also instructed my son and husband (who are off piste skiers) and they have the most wonderful time, they even learn a thing or two. Thank you Dorian for making our skiing SO enjoyable, we love you loads. See you next season. Jennie
