Meeting Lionel is more than just a ski lesson: it’s a journey into the heart of the mountains, filled with technical tips and stories from his ski jumping career
Skiing on your own can be fun, but to progress quickly, gain confidence, and fully enjoy the mountains, nothing beats the guidance of an experienced ski instructor. Here’s why:
1️⃣ Fast and Effective Learning : An instructor tailors advice to your level and needs. You improve much faster than trying alone or following online tutorials.
2️⃣ Personalized Techniques : Every skier is different: posture, balance, speed. The instructor analyzes your movements and gives custom tips to improve your technique.
3️⃣ Safety First : The mountains can be unpredictable. With an instructor, you learn to navigate slopes and off-piste safely, avoiding dangerous mistakes.
4️⃣ Confidence and Motivation : Instructors encourage you and gradually push you out of your comfort zone. Result: more fun and less stress on the slopes.
5️⃣ Discover New Runs : A ski instructor knows the resort inside out. They guide you to the best runs and hidden spots, perfectly suited to your level and preferences.
6️⃣ Fun Learning : With games, exercises, and anecdotes, the lesson becomes an enjoyable and memorable experience, even for beginners.
7️⃣ Sharing Experience and Passion : Beyond technique, instructors share their passion for skiing and the mountains, local tips, and sometimes stories from their own career.
