Dear Patsy & Bastien

Seen a huge improvement in Adam during the last block which is great so can’t wait to get him out onto the snow now.

Here’s hoping for a great winter.

Yours Sincerely

Hi Patsy,

Got home okay. Just want to thank you both very much for everything. Hope you both enjoyed your day out today and hope the rest of the season goes well for you both. Stewart....

Speak to you soon.

Hi,

We came on holiday in January to La Tania and booked three lessons with
Bastien. It was a last attempt for my wife to learn to ski as she was getting to
the point of giving up. She has had ski school lessons and several 'private'
lessons which were simply a guided tour but contained no actual tution.

What a difference one lesson with Bastien made!

He was patient and involved, trying several different exercises to see which
would work, while all the time giving confidence and encouraging her.

By the end of the week she was enjoying skiing, which is something I didn't
think I would ever see!

We cannot thank Bastien enough for his time and patience, it was greatly
appreciated and we will certainly be recommending him to our friends. There is
no doubt that we will be back to the area and will definately be booking some
more lessons.

Please send him our best wishes, we hope the season goes well for you all.

Kind regards

Dear Patsy and Bastien,

Happy New Year, a bit late and I can't believe that it is nearly February already!!

I'm sorry for being so rude and not writing sooner to say thank you both very much for the great time we had with you before Christmas. We all had a fantastic time and as usual left feeling that we had improved a lot. I hope that you are having a good time with good snow. There has been great snow even in Scotland and Daisy went on a schools ski day. She had a wonderful time and the teachers were very impressed with her and have ear-marked her for their team in future years - so she was quietly chuffed! (All your hard work)

Hope you are both well,
Thanks again,

From all of us C (2008-01-28)

 

Dear Patsy,

We have just returned from an excellent week skiing in La Tania. Bastien took our girls for lessons for the week and I just wanted to let you know how much they enjoyed it. Bastien was absolutely great with them, encouraging them to really get the most out of their skiing, he was tirelessly positive with them, especially with my youngest Natalka, who can be a difficult character at the best of times! Anyway, he has done a great job as they are really eager to try again next year. If we return to La Tania, I hope to book the holiday early enough to get myself some lessons booked in with you, as well as the kids.
Many thanks & kind regards,

Hi Patsy,

Hope your season is going well, thanks for your help with Ben and Owen in January they really enjoyed it and came out of themselves playing in the snow. We are still practising pizza and chips in the lounge.

We are now looking forward to next year and although we haven’t finalised what we are doing we were wondering what your availability is like during 2009.
The dates of interest are the week of....

Many thanks

Regards

Dear Patsy,

Thank you so much for this week,
I never dreamed I would get as far I have. It’s all down to your fantastic teaching, patience, support and ability to listen.

I have really enjoyed my time with you and look forward to learning with you again soon.

Love,

Michelle (2008-02-07)

 

Dear Bastien,

Thank you for a fabulous weeks skiing. I cannot begin to tell you just how much you have done for my confidence. I thoroughly enjoyed every day and can't wait to come back next year. I may even have to come back before that!!

Considering I had decided that I wouldn't go skiing again after last year, you have managed to completely change my attitude in just one week!! I think you are an amazing instructor giving so much advice, help and tips both in theory and practise and seem to know exactly just how to get the best out of everyone. So thank you very, very much!

Have a good rest of the season and I hope the teaching goes well in Scotland after that.

I think this weeks skiing is about the best holiday I have every had, entirely due to all your efforts, so once again, many many thanks.

Best Wishes,

Lucy P (2008-03-04)


Welcome to Ski Excel
 

Hi Bastien,

Just a note to thank you for Finlay's lessons, he really seemed to enjoy them. Also we thought you might find this photo of Finlay amusing, clearly he is now an expert in the use of ski poles!
Anyway thanks again for his lessons and I hope the rest of the season is good,

Kind Regards,

The Y (2008-03-10)

PS On Friday afternoon Fin skied down the black run "Dou Des Lanches" above la Tania with Andy, it was Fin's idea

 

Dear Patsy,

Many thanks for an excellent, wonderfully distracting, few days.

Amanda (2008-03-15)

 

Hi Patsy

Just wanted to say a huge thank-you to you and Bastien, Max, Erin and Macky loved Bastien and learning to ski. Stan on the other hand was a bit stubborn but I have never seen anyone more determined or patient than Bastien he was great, maybe Stan will come round next year.

Thanks

Hi Patsy

Just a quick note to say thank you so much for
organising Jimmy for us - he was absolutely brilliant
with the kids, and we all enjoyed our day out with him
on the last day. And every lunchtime he thoroughly
entertained us with his stories!!!

Best wishes

Hi Patsy,

When does skiing start again?
It seems such a long time ago and I really cannot remember if I have
booked Felix and Casta in .
I really hope I have as we had such a cracking skiing holiday and you
have done a fantastic job on Felix's skiing. He is really finishing
his turns and parallel skiing.
WOW I was so impressed. Casta too... She can do a pommer and she has
got rid of her ski clips and she fell in love with her ski instructor
as usual !!!!
Felix managed to ski Mont Fort and Tourtin and was really chuffed with
him self!
So all in all I am so pleased with them both and feel that we need to
carry on with their progress......
I hope you have had a great season, the snow was so good this year...
Look forward to hearing from you

kind regards

Hi Patsy,

Long time no see! How are you both. Just found your website through a
link on the Craigclowan site. Hope you have both had a brilliant season.
We took the children to Canada for two weeks. It was amazing and their
skiing has come on fantastically. You would be very proud of them -
definitely couldn't have done it without the grounding they got from you.
They had masses of ungroomed pistes there and so everyone was bouncing over
moguls by the second week. Particularly impressed with Jake who was
popping down black moguls by the end of it (as was his mother!).

Best wishes to you both and hope to see you sometime.

Patsy,

Just a brief note to say a huge thank you for your time, patience and encouragement over the last week. Both Darcie and I have benefited greatly and the ski lessons were great fun, hard work but immensely rewarding

I have committed this morning to coming back to 1650 for the New Year, and will also be back in April for a further week. I am just awaiting Le Ski confirming dates and whatever and as soon as I have these and can confirm availability I will drop you a note and see what we may be able to sort out

Hope that you are enjoying a quieter week .

Will be in touch over the next day or so with firm dates

Best wishes
