Freddy’s clients say :“I don’t usually write reviews but I am so happy with my experience skiing with ES…I felt so much more confident than before. This was the result of instructor Freddy’s soothing spirit and passion for his job. Overall I finally felt safer about skiing!” “Freddy was brilliant. Best ski guide I’ve had on any mountain I’ve been on – and I’ve been on a few… on all seven continents.”

After leaving University, I headed out to the Alps to do “one, or maybe two” ski seasons. Twelve years later I still can’t think of a good reason to head home to the UK and am loving life in the mountains as much as ever! I have many years’ experience, which I hope to bring to every snowboard lesson.  When the snow melts, I head to the west coast of France to pursue my other passion – surfing!

Gibbo’s clients say:“Gibbo was so much fun. Our two sons had a great time and we can not wait to try snowboarding again.” “very patient and pushed me to get better….my confidence definitely grew”
