You will be skiing in small (6 person max) groups with like minded skiers looking to work on making lasting improvements to your technique as well as improving your Carv metrics. We have a range of conveniently positioned Meribel hotels that you can choose from.​​​​​

Not everyone is physically able to get their hips and knuckles dragging on the snow like the YouTubers, but we can get you making the most of what you got !​ Maybe this is a step too far until getting 2 groups min. could work for a third group.
   
• Personal online Video library : Download all your footage and track progress
   
• Small group size : no more than 6 skiers
   
• Sunday arrival to avoid potential Saturday transfer day traffic.
   

• ​We are based in the middle of the Three Valleys Meribel and will ski the Courchevel and Val Thorens areas as well. Meribel has access to all the high altitude skiing but doesn't suffer from high altitude hotel accommodation which can give sleepless nights.​
   

• Flexible accommodation options : Half board hotel accommodation in shared or single room, or do your own thing and arrange your own accommodation and just join in on the course. For double occupancy, we will attempt to pair you with another participant (same gender.)  Please advise if there is a specific participant with whom you would like to share a room.  If a roommate is unavailable, your lodging will default to Single occupancy and the price will adjust accordingly.
  
  Optional Extras
   

• Airport Transfer service to and from Geneva £129 (approximately €150 / $174)
   

• Pre booked and delivered lift pass £379 (approximately €436 / $506)

​

USA and International travellers 

​

If you've wanted to ski Europe, but have worried about language or arrangements, come ski with us. All instruction is in English with native English speaking coaches : American, Scottish and English :)

​

For any travellers with a large time difference, we recommend arriving a day or two ahead of time in order to adapt to the time change. Having extra rest days reduces your jet lag, normalises your sleep pattern, and makes for a better camp experience. 

​

We can suggest itineraries in Geneva or Paris should you want to come out early to sight see and acclimatise prior to the camp.

​

Epic Pass holders : As you get a free 7 day pass to the Three Valleys take advantage of our Orientation day and maximise your skiing time on your trip to Europe. For your peace of mind we suggest purchasing Carre Neige piste rescue insurance online in advance and avoid the lift ticket lines (€49 for full season) or add to your lift pass at €3.50 per day when in resort.

​

*Epic Pass is accepted throughout Les 3 Vallées for lift access. This applies only to the full Epic Pass, and does not apply to any other discounted pass i.e Epic Local , Epic Day, nor Vail Resorts Employee Pass.

​

This holiday is suitable for level 8 and higher skiers with focussed coaching designed for skiers looking to refine their skills base and raise their skiing performance with extensive use of challenging drills.

Ideas and Discussion points

​​​​​​

Need seperate pages for North Americans USD pricing and inclusive package

​

Euro page pricing and offer lower end hotel  and break out coaching only fee and Take outliers who do own accommodation 

​

??  worth putting on a group For >50 skiers with mobility issues or joint replacements we have a specific coaching group that is focused on getting the most out of what your body can do. Not everyone is physically able to get their hips and knuckles dragging on the snow like the YouTubers, but we can get you making the most of what you got !​​

​

​​

?? 6 max group size and higher fee say €999. polish guy is 6 man groups and roughly that price point and makes sense to have smaller groups with feedback on and off hill . ​​

​

On International weeks have to see what terms can get from hotels and add a markup, the more of a package price the simpler and better.  If we can sell March week quickly might be worth looking at Jan camps​

​

Add some blurb on recommended skis for the course.

​​

Who could be super subs if get lots of interest : PDS guys Dave M,  Ross Green or Graham... other camps seemed to be sold out in Italy and 3vs 

​​

Andy to look into transfer firms for options on private no wait for those on same flight, , shared 2 hour wait or cheap and cheerful​​​​ option?

​

Paris to Moutier train with taxi transfer help

?? hire car prices and links for odd balls is better option​

​​

?? Andy to offer guided tours for early arrivers ​​Paris / Geneva before first week 

​

?? Andy to review hotel options , pricing and make contact for holding rooms , deposits and commercial terms​​

​

Details and itinerary as per https://destinationskicamps.com/les-3-vallees-france/ 

​

​

Once this all is tested through IOS website,if we get traction on International hotel option set up bespoke CarvSkiCamps.com site using Megs and go for it in low season weeks pricing in Euro or possibly $ on Wix payments platform​

​

​

?? On day off do a Ski equipment set up seminar or  Ski Tuning session before dinner in chalet as part of course fee​​​​​

​

?? arrange for Self Catered apt / condo as something new as well to being able to get 3 groups running. Nah. nothing in it and best just offer outlier option and point em to AirBnB, VRBO, Booking.com and DIY it.

​​

• Orientation day £89 (approximately €104 / $120) : Should  you wish to extend your trip or haven't skied the Three Valleys before we offer an optional day of guided piste skiing on Sunday to get acquainted with the runs and find your ski legs prior to the coaching course.

• Bolt on Coaching day £199 (approximately €230 / $267) : The course has a rest day built in mid week to manage energy levels but if you are keen to receive coaching every day we offer an extra day session with an even smaller group size (4 max) to give you more individual focus and attention if you prefer the maximum amount of coaching over the week.
