eskimos ski school

I am a repeat client with Eskimos. I've had private lessons with one of Eskimos longest-serving instructors Alex Ellis several times. Not only is he a brilliant instructor but he's also very accommodating, really encouraging and makes skiing fun - whatever the conditions. This trip he wasn't available for the whole week but was helpful in recommending another instructor - again a long-serving member of the Eskimos team, Johan Olsson. They have a similar teaching style and it was clear I was in very good hands. Both aren't just great instructors but also both have the perfect temperament for teaching - encouraging but also pushing enough to make sure you progress. Once again a great week with Eskimos and I hope to return soon.

Had a great time skiing in Saas Fee again, with Alex from Eskimos for lessons. I like to take it easy but Alex managed to get me to be more dynamic. Alex made it fun and I liked going down the National Run with lots of powder. I'm looking forward to going back next year.

This was a return visit to Eskimos Ski School for me and my daughter. We booked online and payment was made over the phone, with the office calling at a time to suit me.There weren't enough of us for normal group lessons (5 days), so we were offered private lessons over 3 days.Alex (from the Isle of Man) was great! He explained everything really well, made sure we were learning the things we wanted to and tailored exercises to our individual needs - my daughter is a better skier but needed a push to get her out of her comfort zone! We had some challenging snow conditions, but I always felt safe and am now more confident skiing in poor visibility and powder.I'd certainly recommend visitors to Saas Fee use Eskimo Ski School, whatever their age - they put the customer first and make sure it's a good experience.

Lucas (5) and Mia (3.5) had a private teacher, Laura, for three days. From the first minute of the class they were totally engaged. this is thanks to the energy of the teacher. They felt really safe and looked after, which made me feel very relaxed. Also, the organization is very serious and helpful at all times. I highly recommend them! Ask for Laura if you have little kids, she's extremely sweet!!

Just had 5 days in Saas Fee with my brothers kids. And we hierd Eskimos ski and snowboard school for the kids, we was pretty happy for getting Johan Olsson as an instructor for them. He's an really good instructor how knew what the kids needed to geting better to ski.We also got very good service from him and the Eskimos ski and snowboard school. We absolutely coming to hire Eskimos again.

Having had previous snowboarding lessons with Jonathan (AKA Ginger Power - and yes he is happy with me calling him that), I just completed a 3-day snowboarding course and it was fantastic. From the ease in the communication and booking the lessons, to the professionalism and brilliant lessons given by Jonathan, I may even master the board one of these days! Being a mid-30 beginner snowboarder with a tendency to fall, a lot, Jonathan gave excellent instructions and had a great sense of humour making it a really positive experience. Thank you again :)Eva

Have just packed away my ski gear all away and thanks to Mollie at Eskimo ski school Im thinking of come back or at least set my feet on to snow again in the very new future. Mollie is only 19 but wow she's a fab teacher/instructor, we have a group of 4 people and we all worked well with Mollie and by Friday I was really pleased with my progress (so much so I've been looking into ski holidays for April) all the instructors I saw on the slopes were all communicating with there group so well (this is one of my reasons for choosing Eskimo) Thank you all and keep up the good work :-)

We had a great time last week ( 9-13 Feb). The Eskimos Ski School is simply great. The interaction to begin with in selecting and registering the course was great. And then the lesson themselves... small groups means more personal interactions. Both our kids enrolled for classes and the younger one who had no prior skiing experience ( and not to forget did not want to begin with)... enjoyed the most. I too had a go.... being in the mid 40's myself.... great teachers who really give you the right guidance and tips. Keep up the good work and hope to see you soon.

Eskimos is a highly professional, customer-oriented ski school, with friendly, knowledgeable and motivated instructors. They will not pause until they find the perfect solution that best suits the customer's needs. We booked a ski week in Saas-Fee with our two godchildren, a 17- and a 7-year-old, in order for them to learn skiing. At Eskimos, we had a great contact with Mikael, general manager and ski instructor. We booked private lessons for the week, and Mikael was the instructor. The kids made tremendous progress - from 0 to parallel skiing in blue/red slopes - in only 5 days! Kudos to Mikael and the great staff at Eskimos for making our ski holidays this year so wonderful. We can definitely recommend this ski school, especially if you have specific needs (kids in different age groups, language restrictions, etc.).

We used Eskimos ski school again this year for our family ski week in Saas Fee.This comprised an adult private snowboard lesson, 3 adult private ski lessons, one week of child ski lessons and one week of child snowboard lessons.All of us found the instructors to be excellent. They are personable, and show great enthusiasm with their ski class.We choose them over the other ski schools because they teach in small groups (usually 6 students) and the timing of the lesson works for our family. We will definitely use Eskimos again next year

Our eldest boy Matthew who is 8 had a great lesson with Ellen this week. He had a lot of Fun in his All Round 2 lesson with only 5 in the group. This a great ski school for kids and one of the reasons we keep coming back to Saas Fee..

Returned to skiing after probably 6 years without going anywhere near a slope. Booked two 3 hour lessons with Eskimo and managed to get myself back to a decent standard so I could ski down the mountain. Jens was a great teacher and I learned a lot about why certain things matter in different slope conditions. Thoroughly recommended!

Fantastic snowboard lessons for my son. He got air and had a great time! Teacher took really great photos too.

I had freeski lessons in the snowpark with Alex it was great I learned so much. Awesome teacher,he took the time to film me! I had a blast!

I found it hard to decide which ski school to choose for my three children who were beginners to skiing...I chose Eskimos following a telephone conversation with the owner, who said all the things i wanted to hear e.g. small personal groups with the possibility to change groups if necessary etc. My three loved their teachers and their lessons and want to return next year! I thoroughly enjoyed my lessons with Alex and James. I learned a lot in a short space of time and James in particular really made sure i went away with more skills than when i started!
