This winter sees a new ski school operating in Chamonix. Tinderbox Ski School is a team of fully qualified independent ski teachers and mountain guides based in Chamonix, the team is headed up by Chris Fecher a British K2 & Mountain Hardwear pro freeskier.  They are offering tuition from novice to pro, private or group lessons and are covering backcountry skiing, all mountain skiing and piste skiing.

Their ethos – Driven by a willingness to share a passion for skiing and the outdoors, we aim to provide the most honest and authentic experience and services.

Chamonix is great place to ski due to its long season. The season starts from 03 December and end around the 06 May. Please see our website for details on Chamonix.

As the summer ends thoughts turn to the winter and skiing. Things to think about, booking the ski holiday, ski hire, lesson, car parking at the airport……oh and fitness!? How ready are you?

To make the most of your time on the slopes it is important for your body to be ready before you start getting into those ski boots and throwing yourself down a mountain. Your body needs a little helping hand after a long time of no slopes, snow and sitting behind that dreaded desk before you get onto the pistes.

Plan ahead, start slowly and build up your exercise gradually is the key.

Our office has started (updates throughout the rest of winter are coming!), so get those trainers at let’s get ready for a great winter season!
