The Snow School (Le Praz)
Established in 2008 as a small, caring and independent ski school in the 3 Valleys area. This is a UK managed ski school and as such is aimed primarily at the British market. They stand for fairness, integrity and great value for money in all their products & lessons! They are small enough to devote time and care and will be flexible and responsive to their clients' individual needs! They use a system called VAK which stands for Visual, Auditory & Kinaesthetic when it comes to teaching. This allows the client to use all three ways to understand a particular task or skill better. However, if the instructor is aware of the client's most dominant way of learning and receiving information then this aids their teaching skills and helps them improve the quality of their lesson.
