Returning client with Kieran. Progressing down more advanced terrain in conditions I was not previously exposed to, fortunate enough to be on a snow fall day so was lots of powder to enjoy! Gave me feedback and structured drills to work on my own for the remaining days, he was also kind enough to lend me gear I didn’t have for wet and poor visibility conditions! Fully recommend Kieran for lessons

Kieran is an excellent instructor and guide and I cannot recommend him enough. We had challenging conditions with little fresh snow and yet he managed to find a route and terrain every day that enabled me to learn split boarding and back country technical and safety as well as enjoy my time in Chamonix. He is patient but pushed me outside my comfort zone enough to improve every day.

We booked Kieran for three full days to teach my daughter how to ski. From the moment we booked him he was in touch with us to find out how much knowledge she knew, what our objectives were, etc. When we arrived he met us at the rental store, picked up our daughter and drove her out of Chamonix to Le Tour where the pistes are quieter and wider, easier to learn to board on. By the end of the three days, she had mastered turns and was confident enough to come up the mountain with us and do some harder runs. He was an excellent, patient teacher and I would happily use him again.

The first 2.5 hours were entirely dedicated to one-boot turns behind a restaurant, and only the last 20 minutes were available for trying basics on the slope. Kieran was easy-going, fun and patient, but offered limited technical tips for rookies.

My three children and I had 3 half day lessons with Kieran.

We all feel we improved massively over the three days and we'd highly recommend Kieran. Happy boarding:)

FAQs
Where is the meeting point?

You can arrange the meeting point with your chosen instructor by using the Maison Sport messaging system. We recommend agreeing this before you book your lessons, but it can always be arranged at a later date. The instructor should be able to suggest somewhere that is convenient for you both.

What qualifications do the instructors have?

Any instructor that has a blue ‘verified’ tick icon on their profile has had their qualifications vetted and verified by the Maison Sport team, the level of qualification required to have a verified account on Maison Sport varies slightly by country. As follows: France – all verified instructors must carry a ‘Carte Professionelle’ licence, the qualification requirements for this licence are very high. The licence is administered by the French Government (to attain a Carte Professionelle most instructors will have studied for an average of 5 years+ to attain the correct level of qualification). Aside from requiring the instructor to have the highest level of qualification, which includes numerous teaching and technical performance diplomas in skiing or snowboarding, European mountain safety courses and the Euro speed test, the instructors are also required to have a criminal record check and a first aid certificate. Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Finland, Scotland, Spain – all verified instructors must carry a minimum level of qualification which must be at the ISIA card level or above. Instructors working independently must provide documentation to show they meet the local regulatory requirements to do so and instructors that are working for a ski school must provide details of the school they work for.

How many people can take part in the lesson?

Unless otherwise agreed with the instructor no more than 6 people can take part in a lesson, each instructor will have their own policy for this, so it is best to just double check with them by sending a message. Most instructors won't charge extra if there is more than 1 person taking part in the lesson, but always best to check with them before booking.s

How do I book?

If you are on a desktop computer or laptop, you will see a box on the right hand side of the screen which contains various lesson options and pricing, simply select the lessons you would like and then click 'Book now', then follow the instructions to make payment.
