With winter just around the corner and the ever increasing population here in Andorra, I’m certain that there’s a few people out there that might want to level up their skiing for the coming season. December offers a great opportunity to take advantage of quiet pistes, a variety of times slots and the flexibility to work around your busy schedules. So if you’re a beginner just starting on your ski journey here in Andorra or you’re an experienced skier looking to develop your bumps game, work on steeper terrain or up your carving game then get in touch to set yourself up with a plan and the skills for the season. ALL lessons will run through the Ski School. There are no independent instructors in Andorra but please do get in touch with me directly to discuss the logistics of the where and the when. There is no obligation involved for a free chat about how this might work for you. See you and the snow soon.

Adaptive Snowsports
Scott & Marcus joined us online from Andorra, where they are both experienced BASI snowsports instructors. We talk in particular about their work in adaptive snowsports, where they use their knowledge and skills to allow, or assist, people with wide-ranging disabilities to experience the physical and mental well-being benefits to be gained through participating in snowsports.

BASI - The British Association of Snowsport Instructors (BASI) is a UK based membership association responsible for the training and licensing of snowsport instructors and coaches. They are the awarding body overseeing training courses and professional qualifications for 5 disciplines (Ski, Snowboard, Telemark, Adaptive and Cross Country) in instructing and coaching.

DSUK - Disability Snowsports UK has over forty years experience of teaching adaptive snowsports. DSUK hold a firm belief that taking part in adaptive snowsport can transform a person’s relationship with not just their disability, but with all aspects of their lives.

National Star are an organisation who have been working closely with DSUK, Scott & Marcus, to allow their students realise their potential.
Here is a BBC report from with Scott & Marcus working with National Star students in Arinsal, Andorra. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/disability-51329841
