I recently asked the following questions before my ski holiday to El Tarter in Andorra.
With the benefit of hindsight here are some answers to my own questions.
I hope they will be of assistance to all budding first timers !!
Q.What is the format of ski school?
A.There are two sessions morning and afternoon. Try and get into the morning session.
Q.How do you get allocated to a school/instructor?
A.You book the school at the nursery slope which is always very near the top of the main gondola at your resort. I had a voucher from my tour operator.
After about one hour,the instructors divide the members of the ski school into smaller groups depending on ability of the beginners. My ski school initially had 48 %26#39;students%26#39;. On the first day, four instructors divided us into four groups of 12 people.
Q.How long is each session?
A.Three hours long. Usually there is a 30 minute break also, depending on how the class is going.
Q.Have you any tips about Ski School?
A.Get on the morning session, that way you can practise your skills in the afternoon.
On the second and subesequent days, get to the slopes as early as possible before ski school and start practising before class.
Concentrate, the instructors are fantastic but do not easily tolerate %26#39;messers%26#39;
Bring water in a small rucksack.
