Anyone used Spirit 1950 or Cariboo Club Les Arcs

[cluelessfromusa]

After a good experience last Easter, trying once again to cobble together self drive self catering deal for hideously priced New Years week. Came across French run Spirit 1950 ski school and Cariboo kids club in Les Arcs and wondering if anyone has had experience with them good or bad they could share? My boys are 5 and 7 and fairly easygoing. Thanks!

Hi Clueless, sorry just seen this. We used Spirit 1950 ski school (but not Cariboo club) last easter. It's quite French (if that's not too stupid a thing to say!) - fairly shruggy and get-on-with-it - ds (11) was fine in his level 3 group bombing around but dd (7) in her level 2 group would have liked a softer friendlier instructor and a bit more TLC generally. She had loved ski school previously with Esprit but I'm afraid she's now gone off skiing and doesn't want to go again... Sorry if that's not what you wanted to hear. I've heard there's an amazing English run ski school in Peisey or Vallandry so it might be worth considering trying to get the kids over there every morning, though I appreciate that would be a considerable undertaking!
