New Generation Lessons

British ski school employing British natives and in high demand, however costing approximately 20% more than the other 2 options.

New Generation ski and snowboard school was founded in 1998 and has been growing ever since. Set up by four British instructors, New Generation now employs over 40 highly qualified coaches in eight of the top Alpine resorts.

With New Generation you can be assured you will be taught by an excellent teacher (not just a great skier or snowboarder). Below we have listed the key factors which have contributed to New Generation being voted No.1 Ski & Snowboard School by 'Which Books' (2005) and the 'Snow
Awards' (2004, 2005).

Only fully qualified instructors

New Generation consists of a team of fully qualified and experienced instructors. We have all undergone several years of training and exams to reach full international qualification (this takes around 5 years). Whatever your ability level from beginner to expert, you can be confident that your New Generation coach will help you

Coaching not instruction

We believe great teaching is so much more than simply giving instructions and telling people where they are going wrong. How do we explain this?

Just because you are a good skier does not mean you can coach skiing. If that was the case New Generation would probably not exist! (Phew…). In the same way, just because you and I can speak English does not mean that we can teach it. We have several lesson essentials that are at the core of our coaching:

  • To make you feel comfortable and confident.
  • To understand what you want from the sessions – not everyone wants to ski fast; you are on holiday after all.
  • To give you constructive feedback and tips you can use afterwards.
  • To use simple everyday language we all understand.
  • To use your past experiences to aid understanding (e.g. riding a bike helps you understand pressure control and turning in powder).
  • To help everyone improve and enjoy themselves more.

Group lessons are our most popular form of lesson. Lessons are run in the mornings, leaving you free for the rest of the day to practise, or ski with family and friends.

Groups are small (2-8) so you are guaranteed individual attention from your coach as well as benefiting from watching others in action.

During the week our New Generation coaches will help you develop your understanding of ski technique, exploring not just the how but also the why, building your confidence and helping you to achieve your goals.
