Booked and stated ahead that I wanted to be pushed a little harder in the lesson as I am a slightly more athletic than average novice. Despite being 30 mins late due to me going to the wrong area Ander still managed to take me through everything I needed to get on the slopes for the rest of the week. Whilst he was firm I preferred this approach to help reinforce what I needed to do to enjoy proper technique down the slopes later. Worth every penny for the lesson given how much I got out of my holiday.

Ander was great! patient, very articulate, knew when to slow down and when to push a bit more. Saw my flaws when they appeared, gave good recommendations that were effective, and all in all had a blast. Definitely recommend!

Ander is a really kind and to my opinion good instructor. He was really flexible and kept great attention on things that didn't go too well. Flexible with meeting up and even went through while my time was already up.

Teaching complete beginners was not Anders specialty, however I'm an intermediate and Anders helped me improve greatly and I really enjoyed my last session! My suggestion would be for Anders to advertise for intermediate/advance not beginners.

My lesson with Ander helped greatly, and gave me the tools to further my Snowboarding for the rest of my holiday. Not only did the lesson help my technique, Ander taught me a few "basic" tricks to practice with greatly helped my confidence (something I have struggled with due to a few bad falls) I would 100% recommend Ander to anyone, especially an novice/intermediate who needs help to dial in their technique. If I had longer, I would have definitely booked a couple more lessons!

Ander B was a great teacher and really helped me get going from not being able to snowboard to running blues confidently! He was very friendly and explained techniques very well. He kept a good pace and taught me a lot in a very short period of time. Highly recommend for anyone learning to snowboard.

Ander was great, very patient and built confidence in 2 beginner boarders in a short time. It's always a concern that instructors will be bored or frustrated and would prefer to be coaching advanced boarders so they can actually get something out of the time themselves, but Ander showed none of that, he was enthusiastic throughout and really helped them progress. His comms & flexibility prior to the lesson were excellent too. Highly recommend and will use next year if we're in Morzine/Avoriaz. Thanks Ander.

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.
