BASS Performance Breakthrough Clinics

• Hi Hugh.
  Thanks for the pictures and, once again, thanks for a fantastic week skiing. I’ve said it already, but I’ll say it again: it exceeded all my expectations and I just can’t wait to get out and put the learning into practice

• Dear Hugh,
  many thanks for the couple of days instruction last week ... quality tuition is such a refreshing change, all with a skillfully humorous delivery combined to make the entire week a great success in perfect conditions. My wife rebooked for next year as soon as we arrived back in Scotland!

• La Grave was memorable for all of us that skied there and I suspect we will be back for more of that unique experience.

• I had been told that I would not regret using BASS with our family, and that is advice I will follow again and pass on to others.

• I had a fantastic session having my skiing re-constructed by Rod Frazer, and I'm skiing much better as a result. If any of you need skiing therapy, he's the man to see.

• Just got back home and thought I'd drop you a quick line say a big thanks for an truly memorable afternoon's skiing on Friday. 
   
  It's been a long running ambition to be able ski the sort of conditions/snow that we had that day - and whilst it sounds a bit silly to say, not only was it the highlight of my week, but I think it's safe to say that the afternoon goes down as one of the highlights/best days of my skiing 'career'.

BASS Megeve - St Gervais - Les Contamines

• "This has been the first lesson i've had in years that I actually feel taught me and improved my performance.  Shona has many different ways of explaining the same thing to help understanding and the video analysis made a huge difference."  Thank you BASS Megeve.

BASS Chamonix

• "Shona is a fantastic instructor, great fun and incredibly informative.  I learnt so much and can't wait to do another course with BASS Chamonix and Shona next time i'm in Chamonix, which hopefully wont be too long!"

• Amazing day off piste with super Shona. Great tuition, great skiing and great company.

• “At the start of the course I thought the rest of the group were already great skiers, but Shona found different improvement areas for everybody. Her exercise routines enabled all to work on these and make great improvements.”
  “The focus of the course is very much on you and your needs, not just another generic script”

• As a mountaineer I have skied around the world from Utah to Antarctica, and taken many lessons in many countries.  The level of technical input, quality of teaching, and overall service of BASS Chamonix has been exceptional, and without doubt the best I’ve experienced. I am happy to recommend them to anyone.’

• 'Shona is brave & patient enough to go back to the fundamentals and make sure they stick. This has allowed me to really accelerate my learning and I'm skiing the best I ever have on and off piste. I have had many breakthroughs and feel incredibly excited about my future progress'

• Derek has been instructing me, once last year and 5 times this year on a one to one basis.
  My skiing has come on a treat and he doesn't bombard me with things to do and tries to make me work things out for myself by discussion, observing and videoing. Following Derek particularly off piste has helped me take better lines in a more controlled fashion.
  He has always found the right level to push and test me without putting me too far out of my comfort zone and finds the right level of conditions whether it is on or off piste...which even this year he has managed to do considering the absence of lots of snow without travelling too far.
  Today we were skiing through powder through the trees and it was close to the runs.
  I will definitely be back for more.

• 'Shona has a great way of explaining concepts simply with rich imagery, she's always positive and tuned in to what's going on. Her depth of experience shines through because she has 101 ways of coaching in a concept and her timing of giving you the right help at the right time is impeccable' 
  'I would heartily recommend Shona as a ski coach for any level of skier'

• Just wanted to say a big thank you to Derek for improving my dad's holiday so much.
  He really enjoyed the lessons (despite not being keen to start with!) and his skiing really came on. It was great.
  Thank you so much.
  Will not hesitate to recommend you to Guests in my chalet.

  • Hi Peter,
    
    i just wanted to email again to express my sincere thanks for all you did for me last week.
    
    when i arrived for my first lesson i couldn't understand why anyone would want to Ski but by the end of the five lessons i understood exactly what everyone was raving about, i loved it and because of you i was able to ski for the whole day with my other half and his kids on the friday of last week without looking like a complete fool and i got down slopes that at the beginning of the week would have made me crumble in fear.

  • Dear Peter,
    
    Just to say that our instructor, Matt, was absolutely brilliant. He was very professional and friendly, challenged us exactly the right amount and was an excellent guide of the mountains.
    
    It was definitely the best decision we made on our holiday to book lessons. We all progressed a huge amount without losing our confidence.
    
    The recommendation of which ski hire shop to use was also great, making picking up our skis in the morning really easy.
    
    Please thank Matt for a job really well done. Hopefully we will be back next year!
    
    Also just I say Matt Kerswell who added an extra lesson will pay online soon.
    
    Cheers,

    Thanks again,

  • Incredibly helpful, friendly and focused on helping me to be a better skier. Nothing too much trouble, always efficient and keen to tailor to individual needs and requirements. Brilliant - I've been having lessons with you for years now and always learn something new and come away with my confidence levels improved.
