Private Snowboard Lessons

Outstanding!!

“Used Jamie at 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.”

He has helped us progress

“My wife and I have skied with Jamie on numerous occasions over the last five years, and would highly recommend him as an instructor. He has helped us progress from being fairly cautious red run skiers, to being comfortable skiing both on and off-piste in pretty much any snow conditions.”

Absolutely brilliant and can 100% recommend!

“This was my third time with TDC (in Val D’Isere, Tignes and now Meribel) and each time the quality, professionalism and enthusiasm has blown me away. I’ve had the biggest gains of skiing after lessons and the Meribel lessons with Jamie were no different. Absolutely brilliant and can 100% recommend!”

Look forward to using again next year!

“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!”

The bespoke service was second to none.

“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.”

The best instructors I have used

“I have been skiing for 40 years, using instructors in many of the big resorts and they are hands down the best instructors I have used. I found them through friends and took my own family for an off piste week with one of their instructors. They know the resort like the back of their hand, are extremely safety conscious and find every “hidden gem” in the mountain. Not only that but they are very personable and good fun to spend the week with. They are a big reason we will go back to Val d’isère. If I could give them ten stars I would.”

Safety conscious at all times but still providing a feeling of adventure

“Superb instruction and off piste guiding in Val D’Isere. Safety conscious at all times but still providing a feeling of adventure. Kieran is a guide who finds the perfect balance. Very impressed yet again.”

Found us fresh tracks every day

“I was lucky enough to have.beginner off piste ski lessons with Steve Angus from TDC for a week mid Jan. It was fabulous. Somehow Steve found us fresh tracks every day and taught us with patience and understanding finding slopes that challenged us without being beyond our abilities.
Each night he shared photos and videos that really helped with the learning process. At the end of the week he created a video montage that’s really funny and I have greatly enjoyed sharing it with my family.
A great week, thanks Steve”

One of the best off-piste weeks I have had in years

“Despite no fresh snow for over two weeks, I have just completed one of the best off-piste weeks I have had in years. I skied with Terry on some of the most iconic routes around Val and Tignes and he was always able to find the good snow. In fact, most of it was the best chalky snow I think I have ever skied. Thank you for the tips and tuition where needed and for really enhancing a great week in the mountains. I think I might be back for some spring snow later in the season!”

We had a fun but safe experience

“I personally had the fortune of having Kieran as my partner’s and my personal ski instructor. Kieran was amazing; he really helped my fiancée, Kim, learn to ski. After only two days, she could ski blues and reds. He was also very careful and always made sure we had a fun but safe experience.”
