Examen de SnowSkool

Best parenthesis in my life

Have been following the 10 weeks course in Meribel to become BASI level 2 ski instructor (winter 23-24).
As a starter, and to address the negative ratings below:
-There are three chalets on site, each one with its own hosts. As far as I am concerned, I have no complaints. Let's just say that if (like me) you are not a keen connoisseur of the Commonwealth cuisine, you are in for an earth-shattering epiphany
-I can understand that the COVID experience may not have been the most pleasing, fortunately no such problems this year
-As for the "greedy company" comments, all successful companies need to be profitable. Snowskool is no exception and I never felt that they were only interested in their bottom-line. The comment below about not being greeted when arriving is borderline parody.
-Talking about parody, insinuating that one-review people (I am one of them) are paid shills for Snowskool is beyond stupid
Now for the positive parts:
-Our BASS trainers over all those weeks were fantastic. Benefiting from their huge experience was paramount for making the best of these 10 weeks
-The infrastructure (chalets, Snowskool rep, yes CJ, I'm talking about you) were providing the necessary support for us to focus on us becoming (hopefully) better skiers / snowboarders (who BTW are as close as their stereotypes as possible)
-Special shoutout to CJ who, despite his young age and naivety was key in making everything work smoothly.
That's my experience, of course your mileage may vary (I've been told that all reviews had to end with such a compliance warning)
