“A big thank you for the excellent courses you have provided for Kris and I over the last 12 months. We have both thoroughly enjoyed and benefited from the expert instruction (the best we've had), and we liked the diverse locations at which the courses were held."

K.D. & D.C., April, 2011

“Ian (Johnston) handled it very well I thought, there was movement between the groups depending on what was planned for that lesson. He also took a couple of people for 1-on-1 intensive 1 hr sessions to work on something specific to their skiing in lieu of a full group lesson that they may not otherwise have got a lot out of. In short a fluid, reactive approach to the groups rather than the traditional ski school approach - same as what I have seen on my other TSC trips. I found the pace of my group to be spot on really, I was in either a 3 or 4 strong group so we were able to cover a lot of ground."

B.J., Feb., 2011

“course & venue: Very Good, excellent in fact!
instruction (Ian Johnston): Instruction excellent."

A.D., Feb., 2011

“Back in dreary Britain here – groan ... this is just to say thanks again for another great week. Very, very enjoyable and as usual is inspiring me to do more as soon as possible ... was actually contemplating emigrating to New Zealand for the summer so I can get another seasons in ... is this getting obsessive I ask myself?"

J.W., April, 2004

"Firstly, thanks very much for a fantastic holiday. I really enjoyed it and I'm very pleased you pushed us hard to get that tele-turn right."

E.H., January, 2004

“Thanks for a brilliant week, I really appreciated all the time and effort you put in. Looking forward to freeing the heel next season!"

D.P., April, 2005

“Despite the weather Olly (Bowman) did a great job. When I improve my tele tecnique I plan to use your services again."

G.D., Feb., 2011

“Great! extreme weather conditions made me feel like a polar explorer· instruction with Olly Bowman … excellent tuition under difficult conditions; very clear instruction; feel I have a strategy for practice and development."

B.B., Feb., 2011

"Just want to say thanks for the Tartan Telemark weekend – I really enjoyed it – even the brown snow at the Lecht on Sunday! Please pass on my thanks to Gerry – he was an excellent instructor and I picked up quite a few tips from Paul as well."

A.H., February, 2004

“Just a quick note to say that the quality of instruction by both Roger (Palin) and Stefan (Janik) was superb on the Tartan Telemark course especially considering the weather on Sat. and Sun."

C.O., February, 20031

“With Katherine Hurst as tour leader it has to be good, she was very good with the other two clients who had more basic skiing skills and we spent time on instruction where possible and still managed a good tour, even the weather was passable to good."

R.P. March, 2011

“A quick note to say we had a fabulous holiday and all the arrangements went smoothly."

K. O., March, 2011

“All the organization was splendid and worked perfectly, and we have to say that we were delighted with Katherine as a leader. She was patient, understanding, encouraging and good humoured throughout and she was good company as well as being a first class leader. All the decisions she made were spot on. The Rondane is a wonderful area and ideal for a tour for relative newcomers, like K. The lodges were very good as was the itinerary. All in all, we are very satisfied customers!"

R.M., March, 2009

"Thanks – it was a spot-on trip, really enjoyed it – I think I could take up this skiing lark!"

A.B., March, 2005

“Regrettably the weather prevented us from doing our short tour with strong gales for 2 days. The guide (Neil Macpherson) accommodated to this well and alternative options were considered with the full participation of both members of the group. I learnt a huge amount, felt very well looked after and received very good coaching. I would use your services again. Thank you."

K.B. April, 2011

“I wanted to write and let you know that the trip to Norway from 9th to the 18th April (Geilo & Finse) was excellent. I learnt a great deal and am looking forward to going back next year"

TM.P. April, 2004

"... it was a very enjoyable trip and I think it is the best holiday you offer wishing really to get into the Norway scene. The combination of the piste days followed by the tours is ideal!"

P.L. & S.F., April, 2005

“We wanted you to know that it (Geilo & Finse week) was ... great ..., due in no small measure to the leadership and friendly instruction that Gerry (Gosling) and Neil (Macpherson) gave us. ... they are both highly proficient teachers and F. and I felt we had been given a lot of confidence as a result of their efforts ..."

A.T. & F.A. April, 2005

“Wanted to say thanks again for the course. After Tignes I headed off to La Grave for a look and stayed for 5 days. Managed the telemarks ok all the way down (well what was left of the snow), even had a few Harley Davidson moments in the bumps (including turning left!!!) Its getting there. Will definitely be doing another week with you guys at some stage."

R.M., April 2011

“Thanks very much for a great time! As was the case in April in Norway, I appreciated very much your professional organization, top coaching and pleasant socializing. I'm certainly motivated to take further and improve my skills now. I'll be looking closely at whatever will be possible in the remainder of the season."

P.M., Dec., 2010

“I just wanted to say a big thank you for the course, really opened my eyes to the telemark way, I think I shall never try a pair of alpines again. Chris (Stewart) was absolutely superb, first class instructor. No doubt you will be seeing me again on another course, hopefully this time I won’t have to bring my work with me."

T.B., Dec., 2010

“First, I wanted to say thanks for Gressoney. I had a terrific time, think I learned a lot, and got exactly the kind of relief from the craziness of Cairo. Take care, and I hope to be able to join you folks again soon."

B.L. April, 2011

“Thanks again for a great week the skiing, weather and company were all excellent."

W.I., April 2011

“Thank you again for a really great week in Gressoney. It was fantastic skiing with you both, and the others, and I found both the instruction and shadowing very useful indeed. The (BASI) L2 course has now been confirmed so I feel very well prepared for the 2 weeks in Austria now."

M.J., April 2011

“A brief note of thanks to you, and the team back home, for a superb week in Kuhtai. The snow in the last few days gave us the perfect opportunity to practice all you had told us. Friday was particularly good and J. and I had a fine last day as the snow continued to fall."

T.O., March, 2011

“It was a great week, very instructional, thanks to Allan (Rorby), and I learnt a lot - now better equipped for ski touring."

G.M., March, 2011

“THANK YOU - please pass our sincere thanks to Allan (Rorby) and Paul, who were guiding us towards better skiing skills. Now we have lots of very good takeaways to practice with :)"

S.S. March, 2011

“Just a quick note thanking you for a excellent week in Les Contamines. We both came away feeling much more confident in our skiing abilities, we just have to try & keep putting our new learnt skills into practice without reverting back to our old habits. We will definitely join you again sometime …"

G.H., Jan., 2011

“I really enjoyed the trip and thought Julia (Tregaskis) was an excellent trip leader. The places she chose for us to stay and ski were all brilliant. I liked the contrast of hotel and hostel and she was also a good ski teacher. I have a friend I hope to persuade to come on a trip next year. I just need to get a bit fitter....!"

S.W., Feb., 2011

“Julia was very good at giving us useful tips to improve our technique, in a pleasant way. Julia's knowledge of the area and the good working relationship she has built up with the various accommodation providers were key factors in making the holiday so pleasant. …. This was our first holiday with Telemarkskico, but we would certainly consider coming again if funds permit."
