Ski school special – Skiing with TDC

As I’m sure you can imagine, ski school is something we get asked about a lot here in the VIP SKI London office. We’re often asked if we think it’s worth pre-booking ski lessons. For beginner and intermediate skiers we’d definitely recommend ski lessons. Not only will you learn under the guidance of experienced instructors, you also get the added perks such as skipping lift queues, advice on ski gear and of course, the best places to find lunch on the mountain.

Even if you’re an experienced skier, we think there’s always room for improvement which is why we can offer advice and help to pre-book ski lessons with our ski school partners. 

If you’re looking for a ski school that focuses on developing your existing skills, building confidence, and helping you make the most of the mountain, out friends at TDC, The Development Centre might be the ski school for you.
