I wanted to tell you all about my first week of skiing in Courchevel after a few days in Val Thorens last week.

The conditions are exceptional! Particularly good at the start of the season as we have had some heavy snowfalls.

It's shaping up to be a great new season. I am having the time of my life right now in these exceptional conditions. I hope to see many of you again this winter. I hope you enjoy these beautiful photos of Courchevel in its white coat.

See you again next winter, what a stunning week!

An excellent week of sking with Asif Khan, Sharif Khan and all the members of their family and their friends, also during the third week of December. Asif is a longstanding client. I taught his children, Nabeal, Aamer and Faaris to ski, when they were knee-high to a grasshopper. They are now adults. I will likely teach the next generation of the family to ski too, Nabeal, Aamer and Faaris' children that is. Time flies... Asif and Sharif, it was, as usual, a great pleasure to ski with you all.
I hope to maybe ski with you again this winter.

An exceptionel week in company of Nadine Watson, Tilly, Issac and Maxim during the third week of December. Thank you to Mark Lavis, Michael Sokol an Tania Sipos for organising this magnificent week of ski.
Nadine, who was a beginner at the start of the week, succesfully skied down red runs with less than 5 halfdays of learning under her belt. After 3 days, Nadine adventured out to ski from Meribel Mottaret to the Ménuires. What amazing progress! The children progressed admirably too. Congratulations to Tilly and Maxim for achieving their snowlife Awards Level 6 and congratulations to Issac for achieving his snowlife Awards Level 4. I look forward to seeing you all again, next December.

How many skis do you think I own?
This photo shows 7 pairs but I have since purchased an 8th pair:
A pair of Atomic Redster SL Fis M 2023 that I conserve very preciously, they are real gems!
You stop counting when you are passionate.

Eight and a half days of great skiing with the Oyens Family. Congratulations to Niek on obtaining his Snowlife awards at Level 9. Congratulations to Toby for obtaining his level 7 Snowlife awards and congratulations to Sarah for obtaining her level 4.
We all enjoyed a nice snowfall today, Wednesday January 5th, as I write this post. The powder was great and we all enjoyed it. More snowfall is expected in the coming days. During this stay, Niek and Toby perfected their carving techniques and they learned to ski on one leg. They perfected their 360 ° glide and their ski in reverse. They learned to ski in the moguls and perfected their short turns among many more techniques. Sarah learned all the techniques that lead to the parallel turn. Again, congratulations to all. Thanks to Stéphane their cousin who joined us at the end of our stay. I hope Stéphane that we will have the opportunity to ski together again. Thanks again to parents Pieter and Karine. We have skied together since 2013. You are my longest standing loyal customers.

Demonstration of a 360 jump by Tim De Marez Oyens. There are still some improvements to be made to successfully land the 360. Nice attempt, well done! Tim started skiing with me at the age of 5 with his sister Faye who was then 7. Tim is 14 years old now and a formidable freerider. I'll meet you Tim and Faye in February for a day of off-piste skiing with your dad!

I am currently spending a dream week with the family Oyens skiing with Niek, Toby and Sarah and their cousins ​​Liselot and Julie. Everyone is skiing beautifully in hard, icy snow conditions. Below are some beautiful photos which illustrate the start of the stay.

Pieter came to my rescue knowing all the cancellations I had to face at the start of the season because of Emmanuel Macron's measure to ban travel from and to the United Kingdom, a measure that is questionable as to its effectiveness.

I regret having been prevented from giving my ski lessons to my British customers and I want to tell you all that I think so much of you and I want them to know that I absolutely do not approve of this measure taken by Emmanuelle Macron . I will speak on the subject in a while in a video.

Thank you again, Pieter, I am indebted to you.

I wish you all my best wishes for happiness, health and prosperity for this new year.
