Our Ski School Helper is a source of support and encouragement for the youngest
beginners taking to skis for the first time. Some of the most enthusiastic and grateful
comments from our guests are about our Ski School Helper who co-ordinates all our
children’s ski lessons. The Ski School Helper is:
- A friendly face each morning
- Encouraging to the youngest and least able skiers
- Based in the beginner’s area - the ‘Jardin de neige’
- Co-ordinates children’s ski lessons with the ESF
- Provides feedback on your child’s skiing
- Hosts the ski presentation on Friday
The Ski School Helper will meet children and parents on the first evening and during
the week they will ask instructors how each child is getting on and report back
to parents on their children’s progress.
Although the Ski School Helper is not a teacher and will not ski with every child
staying with Family Ski Company they are a familiar face each morning and can help
resolve any issues which may arise during the week. Their support is so important
that their day off is covered by another member of the team.
The Ski School Helper stays with the youngest skiers to help them get the most out
of their first experience on snow. Whether it is telling jokes before the lesson,
blowing a runny nose or just giving them an encouraging smile the Ski School Helper
can play an important part in a child’s first ski holiday.
The Ski School Helper will also ski with the Huskies and Powder Adventurers on their
ski afternoons guided by the ESF’s English speaking instructors.
During their Friday morning lessons most children will have a ski test and later
that evening the Ski School Helper will host a small ceremony in the chalet to present
any badges and ski certificates.
