Neil MilneI still love skiing everyday after skiing for over 30 years. I feel very lucky that my passion has turned into my job and since becoming a ski instructor in 2003 have taught people all over the world, all ages and abilities from beginner kids through to training aspiring instructors. I feel the key to becoming a good instructor is listening to clients and delivering lessons with achievable goals in a fun relaxed atmosphere.
I hold the BASI level 4 and European off piste qualifications with full French equivalence and I have been running things for TDC in the 3 Valleys since 2011 where I live full time with my wife and young family.
I love to spend the summer months riding my road bike in the Alps and traveling in Europe with my wife and kids.
I'm steadily learning the art of Off Piste skiing and there is no other place better than The Development Centre. I opted for private tuition and my tutor, Jamie, was an excellent guide and teacher who had a lot of patience and knew what terrain would best suit me as well as pushing me gradually out of my comfort zone in order to progress. The bespoke service was second to none. Will definitely book further sessions. Dan
James has been teaching skiers for over 14 years. He has helped people of all abilities to become skilled and confident skiers. His modern approach to ski teaching was forged from his broad teaching experience and his degree in sports, fitness and coaching. He holds the top level awarded by the British Association of Snowsports Instructors, the highest Swiss Snowsports level, and has his full French equivalence.
So here’s a bit more about me. Well I am a self-confessed skiing geek. I fell in love with skiing after my first taste in the Austrian Alps at the age of 8 years old. Since then I have taught skiing all over the world, for over 24 seasons. Over the years I have listened to my clients and reflected on how they learned. This ability has given me insight into the key aspects that help people the most in a ski lesson. So I would say that am able to listen to your needs and provide you with clear and simple steps to achieve your skiing goals and realise your potential. I look forward to skiing with you soon.
We have used TDC in Meribel/3 Valleys for the last 3 years in various combinations - instruction for younger kids, older kids, adults and whole family guiding. Always professional and well led by Jamie. Great local knowledge finding the best snow during challenging spring conditions, pointing us to great restaurants too! Confidence that the kids are receiving excellent tuition whilst having enormous fun is incredibly reassuring. Look forward to using again next year! Ginger_Cat
I have lived and worked as a ski instructor in the three valleys for over 15 years, there is very little of the the resort I don’t know. l have always loved the mountains from a very early age and ski teaching enables me to spend all my time in them and I hope I pass on my enthusiasm and knowledge to my clients. When not ski teaching I still love to explore the lesser visited parts of the resort. I am also an offpiste and mountain safety assessor for basi. In the summer I work in the Alps as an international mountain leader.
Used TDC on numerous occasions for family trips with 2 kids and for "Dads" trips all of which have been great fun and all of us have improved massively! These guys no what there doing..they take all the pressure off find the best snow in the 3 valleys and just make the whole experience fun and exciting whatever your ski level..cheers guys. Tim
