Snowboarding offers a unique way to ride, mixing fun, technique and creativity. Balance, stance and feel become solid foundations for riding with confidence.
I have never snowboarded. Can I take a private lesson?
Yes. We start with balance and stance on gentle slopes, then your first turns. In a private lesson you progress at your own pace, without waiting for a group.
Do I need my own snowboard gear?
Bring your own gear or rent it before the lesson: board, bindings, boots and helmet. I can advise you and recommend a trusted rental shop.
Is a helmet mandatory?
Yes for children, for freestyle and for off-piste. I also recommend it for every other skier.
Can a family or friends of different levels share a lesson?
Yes, as long as the levels are fairly close: the price is the same for up to 4, 5 or 6 people depending on the format. If the gap is too wide, I will suggest splitting the group into two sessions so everyone progresses. Tell me who is coming in your message and I will advise you beforehand.
Is the lift pass included?
No, you need a valid lift pass, bought separately. During the lesson you do get priority access to the lifts.
What if the weather is bad?
The lesson goes ahead and we adapt the plan to the day’s weather: choice of runs, technical content, activity. If the slopes or lifts are closed, or the weather makes access dangerous, the ESF may cancel the lesson: the sums paid are then refunded (if a session is cut short, a credit is given). Details in the ESF terms and conditions.
How does booking work?
1. Send me your request (booking form, email or WhatsApp) with your dates, level and goals. 2. I reply personally within 24 hours to build the plan with you. 3. I guide you through confirming and paying with ESF La Plagne Aime 2000.

Group improvement
“Valuable technical advice that helped us really improve.”
Read the full review
We had an absolutely brilliant week of skiing with Tim. As a group of good (but certainly not pro) skiers, Tim did a remarkable job of tailoring the sessions to our needs. His teaching is very effective: he gives valuable technical advice that helped us really improve, always simply and with good humour. As skilled as he is friendly.

“After 25 years without skiing, I even skied a red run completely relaxed!”
Read the full review
At 50, after 25 years without skiing, I was a little nervous about getting back on the slopes. From the very first runs on well-chosen blue slopes, he put me at ease. Thanks to his calm, patience and teaching skills, I quickly rediscovered long-forgotten sensations. The icing on the cake: I even skied a red run completely relaxed! I highly recommend Tim to anyone who wants to (re)start skiing with confidence.
