Ian P.

The instructor's qualifications have been verified.

I booked Ian as an instructor for a corporate ski trip, and he was assigned to our group of beginners who absolutely loved him! I skied with Ian a bit on the second day of our trip and he was a brilliant instructor, everyone in the group said how amazing he was. Particularly as Courmayeur isn't particularly beginner focused, and we had to ski to our restaurants each day, I was a little concerned about the beginner group getting to each lunch, but with Ian I had absolutely nothing to worry about.

Ian Proudfoot was a fantastic guide. I explained my lack of confidence and other issues, and with understanding, patience and humour he got me to work through them all. My skiing totally changed as a result.He is charming, amusing and great company on the slopes for a few hours - a wonderful guide to all the restaurants as well! I would thoroughly recommend Ian and if I return to Courmayeur I would certainly want to ski with him again. Thank you Ian.

We booked Ian for three lessons over a week for three children, two 6 year olds and an 8 year old. We couldn’t have asked for a better instructor! Ian has been patient, kind, very easy to communicate with, and completely trustworthy and professional throughout. We’ve seen huge improvements in their skiing under Ian’s guidance, and they have loved being with him each day. We highly recommend him!

Ian helped me gain my confidence and feel more relaxed on the skis. Thank you Ian

Natalia booked a total of 2 hours with Ian

Ian is a great instructor, there were two of us with different levels of experience skiing and he was able to manage our different abilities well. We both had fun whilst learning new techniques to help deal with tricky icy slopes/steeper slopes. Ian even helped me ski my first ever black run with confidence. We would definitely recommend lessons with Ian

Daisy Coupe booked a total of 5 hours with Ian

Great teacher, clear and well paced instruction and he makes it fun. Would definitely recommend.

Georgina Goonan booked a total of 6 hours with Ian

Ian took my 14 yr old daughter and her friend for two lessons. My daughter said they had lots of laughs and came away with lots of useful tips and techniques. Later in the week she skied an icy black run with great confidence and skill (she was an intermediate skier), this was in my opinion down to the lessons with Ian. Overall I would highly recommend Ian, he made the lessons fun and also improved their technical ability.

Rob booked a total of 4 hours with Ian

Ian was teaching skiing our 3 girls age 5, 7 and 9 during our holidays in Cormayer. He was brilliant with the girls. They liked him because he made the lessons fun and interesting. They loved being taken on bumpy routes and receiving some little sweet treets 😀 Ian was very caring and very professional. We would highly recommend him.

Heidi booked a total of 4 hours with Ian

Outstanding ski instructor- renamed by the two 11 year old boys he was teaching as “The Legend”. We were looking for someone to show them how to off piste safely and advance their abilities. He surpassed our expectations of how much they have improved not only in ability but also confidence. Highly recommend Ian

Ian adapted his style for two different abilities, he gave helpful feedback and had a really calm supportive manner. I would highly recommend Ian and would definitely use him again in the future. Thank you Ian - for everything you did! Much appreciated.

Kate booked a total of 6 hours with Ian

My father and I had a two hour lesson with Ian on the first day of our skiing holiday as a bit of a refresher/corrector session. We are of fairly different abilities and Ian did really well to cater to both of us, and bring us both on and set different challenged. We had a really great couple of hours with him and would highly recommend!

Katie booked a total of 2 hours with Ian

My 13yo son had great fun with Ian who also improved my son's technique markedly. An ideal result!

My 3 boys, (8,8 and 10) had a great time with Ian and their skiing came on a long way. He worked with them on keeping themselves and others on the slopes safe while also having fun. They covered lots of the mountain and he kept them entertained while developing their skills.

Victoria booked a total of 12 hours with Ian

Great teacher. Patient and self-confidence boosting. I progressed a lot mentally and phisically in 2h30 time that I skied with Ian. Will dftly go back to him for lessons when in Courmayeur.

Dessislava booked a total of 2.5 hours with Ian

Ian took my 10 year old son for 2, 3 hour skiing lessons. He was very good at explaining the technical side of skiing and made the lessons very enjoyable and fun, he managed to alter the lesson to include some of my sons current favourite things. He tried to squeeze as much skiing as possible into the lesson. Overall we would thoroughly recommend Ian as an instructor and will use him again if we return to Courmayeur. Derek and Adam

Jesper oskarsson booked a total of 2 hours with Ian

Ian was great with our three children aged 11, 9 and 6 who were all at different levels. He taught them both separately and towards the end of the week, together. He engaged with their three different personalities really well and made skiing fun for them all.

Alice booked a total of 16 hours with Ian

Ian was a great instructor. The session was fun and really helped us improve. Thanks Ian.

Kirstie booked a total of 3 hours with Ian

Ian is great! It was the first time skiing for me and I got really nervous. But he found ways to help me overcome that, even when I felt completely stuck...firstly, he knew so many exercises (and made some new ones up!) that were also huge fun. But more importantly, he really understood what my problem was, both from the technical side and from the psychological side, so that now I feel confident to keep skiing rather than giving it up again. He has infinite patience too, tries to minimise non-ski time (like lifts etc.), is really approchable, and obviously has huge experience. Thank you so much!
