As one of the first British instructors to teach in the Courchevel/Meribel area, I know the resorts like the back of my hand. With 30 years of teaching experience I can tailor my teaching to fit with your needs and make sure you get exactly what you want from your lessons. In the summer months I also teach kitesurfing, where previously I finished 5th in the World Championships. Please get in touch if you need any more information from me.

Ewan was excellent in picking up my faults immediately. He soon had me remedying same & at the end of the lesson the improvement was so evident. Would recommend Ewan if you are as I was, a skier of quite a few years but had developed some bad habits. He also is good company.

Ewan was great! We skied with him (adults) and in the afternoons he skied with our kids ages 4,6,8 and he was great with all of us. Knows the 3 valleys very well and is great with both adults and kids! Highly recommend him!

Three of us had 2 x 4hr lessons with Ewan in Courchevel, and our skiing made great strides in those 2 days. All of us were strong piste skiers, but with excellent conditions (fresh snow), Ewan pushed us to work on our off-piste technique, and we were able to ski runs that we would have previously felt were well beyond our capability. His teaching style is very straightforward - he is quick to recognise where you can improve and gets you focused on one or two key points at a time, thereby not cluttering the mind with too much information. His enthusiasm for skiing and the 3V is incredible, and it meant we spent most of our time skiing rather than chatting (which we have had in the past with other instructors). I can’t recommend Ewan enough - he gave us two of the best morning’s skiing I have ever had, and the tools to get so much more out of future ski trips.

I had a great few days with Ewan and would definitely recommend him for one to one lessons. He really helped me to build my confidence, ultimately pushing me to make it down runs I never thought I’d manage. I particularly appreciated his frank and incredibly tailored feedback, which allowed me to make serious improvements through focusing on small but essential points to help me feel more in control when skiing.

Ewan is a very friendly instructor who helped improve my skiing significantly over the course of two two-hour lessons with him. He was quick to spot where I could improve and suggested some drills to improve my technique. He also explained the principles behind the techniques in such a way that furthered my understanding. Above all, he is a top guy to spend a couple of hours on the slopes with - thanks Ewan!

Ewan was really quick to assess and work on key areas for me as an adult intermediate skier with stretching me just the right level to make progress. Super friendly and went the extra mile. Would highly recommend

Ewan has had my 8 year old son for 3x 3hour lessons this week , I was concerned that 3 hours would be too long, how wrong could I be ? My 8 year old was so pleased with his first lesson he couldn’t wait to return the next morning , his progress has been amazing and he’s had great fun too ! Happy kids = happy parents . Highly recommend, we will be using Ewan again for sure. Thank you 😊

I have used a number of instructors over the years and always been told how to do something but never explained why and this is the difference with Ewan - understanding why makes all the difference. Rather than follow the “how to teach someone to ski rule book” Ewan assesses very quickly your technique and then sorts the problems.

Booked Ewan for a couple of sessions as I was an intermediate skier that wanted to improve, I was ‘banking’ when I was turning and Ewen very quickly got me turning with ‘Angulation’ (don’t worry if these terms are new to you), the result was better style, more control to ski (great for the harder slopes) and less tired so I could ski more. In addition, he has a great knowledge of the three valleys and how weather conditions effects snow meaning he knows where to ski and when (and what to avoid and when) which he is willing to pass on to those that are interested in learning. In summary, my skiing has taken a big step forward as has my knowledge of the mountains and where to ski and at what time of day based on the weather conditions! Strongly recommended!

Excellent. Knows the three valleys like the back of his hand and was equally great skiing with my beginner wife Jess as he was bombing through knee-deep stuff with me. Friendly, relaxed, enthusiastic and hugely experienced. Can't ask for more than that.

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?

All instructors listed on Maison Sport have been verified by their nation's governing body, be it the French Government's Department of Sport, Swiss Ski Federation or The Italian Winter Sports Federation, so you can rest assured you will be in safe hands when you’re on the slopes.

How many people can take part in the lesson?

Generally no more than 8 people, each instructor has 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. If you require further help visit the 'How to book' page - https://maisonsport.com/en/how-to-book-private-lessons
