Courchevel 1650 this Christmas - anyone else looking for ski lessons?

We have been trying to book ski lessons for our 2 DC for our Christmas trip this year. Our favourite ski school, BASS, does a great course which has the kids for 2-3 hours in the mornings 5 days a week and also for one whole day on the mountain together.

BASS have told us they will lay on the course if 3-4 other children sign up.

If anyone is interested it's called the adventurer's course and is described on their website. Children would need to be confident skiers, making parallel turns at least some of the time, but don't need to be super advanced.

If you don't know BASS we can thoroughly recommend them. We have used other ski schools in various resorts and have found BASS by far the best - small groups, lovely engaged, encouraging teachers, and because they are all British our children have found it much easier to follow what they are being told to do.

If you are going to be in the resort at Christmas, or know anyone who is, we would be very grateful if you could look at this option, or suggest it to friends - we think the class sounds great for our DCs and would love it if BASS could get it off the ground.

Thanks

We went to 1650 a few years back and had lessons with New Generation. They were brilliant, English instructors. This was pre-kids but if I recall they did children's lessons in peak weeks. 1650 is one of my favourite places to ski - I'd love to go back!

We went to 1650 in January this year. Learnt with New Gen, they are really good. And happy to move you up or down depending if your ability doesnt suit the lessons chosen.
