- Loveroftravel 74London, United Kingdom70 contributionsBrilliant experience!From start to finish an extremely positive experience. Being skiing novices it can be overwhelming to know where to start when planning a ski trip but Georgina and her team organised everything for us from the hotel to the ski passes, lessons and equipment hire. Georgina’s communication is fast and clear with step by step instructions and quick replies to any queries. She organised our hotel, equipment hire with a ten percent discount, ski passes bought though their website so that they were ready to collect from the ski shop. All instructions on where to go, times etc all very clear and prompt. We opted for two 3 hour private lessons with the ski school and our instructor Peter was highly professional, patient and most importantly gave fantastic tuition so that my 13 year old who never skied before was nearly parallel skiing at the end of the second lesson. My husband at least learned how to stop! Huge thanks to the team and we will not hesitate to book through you again and can highly recommend anyone wishing to ski in Sierra Nevada to book with them.Visited December 2022Travelled with familyWritten 20 December 2022
- Brian WTwickenham, United Kingdom63 contributionsFantastic Ski Instruction for all abilities and types of skiingWe loved our family skiing experience in 2021 and returned to English Ski School for more. We all had another fantastic holiday. Our group includes a wide range of abilities from beginner to experienced skier/snowboarder. Georgina, Nathan and Alberto provided fantastic lessons and enabled us all to progress. Alberto taught me and my son Telemark skiing on our last 2 days. Challenging but also rewarding. We will be back again for more. My daughter progressed incredibly well under Georgina's instruction and tackled her first red and first black on her last day! Our two beginners were also confidently taking on the harder blues on their last day. All communication and planning is very professional and organised. The lessons are tailored to our group's needs and adapted as necessary through our holiday. Most importantly we all gained in confidence and really enjoyed our skiing; both lessons and on our own. A big thank you to Georgina, Nathan & Alberto who made it all possible.Visited December 2022Written 23 December 2022
- Anne Jensen6 contributionsExcellent ski instructorsGeorgina, Nathan and their team are EXCELLENT. We have been coming for many years and we feel like being welcomed into their family. The instructors are experienced and well matched, personalities really considered to make sure the lessons are fun with very real progression. Thank you so much once again, Josemi is AWSOME! Hope to see you in February!Visited December 2022Travelled with familyWritten 27 December 2022
- Lou8130Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom7 contributionsAmazing Experience with English Ski school - definitely recommend.We came with English ski school for our first experience in Sierra Nevada having only skied twice previously many years ago. From the initial query snd throughout Georgina and Nathan were fantastic. Immediate responses to any queries I had - give us all the info we needed re equipment hire and ski passes (and even arranged our refund on the ski passes when the mountain was closed due to wind). Josemi (Jo) was our instructor and he was amazing - such a lovely guy and gave us both real confidence. We couldn’t have asked for more from him he was wonderful. He was so good when we go again we will request him as our instructor as we will be bringing our 13 year old snd know he will be so fantastic with boosting her confidence and making it fun too. Thank you so much Georgina, Nathan and Jo (the honorary Geordie) from the Geordies Dave & Louise. We hope to see you again really soon 😃⛷️Visited December 2022Travelled as a coupleWritten 29 December 2022
- Daley Y1 contributionFirst Class Personable ServiceWe are back from a trip to Sierra Nevada where we were looked after extremely well by Georgina and Nathan. From booking with them a few months ago where they helped us with ski passes, equipment and logistics they offered an excellent personable service. We travelled with my two children, one of which having special needs and they were first class leaving us with some ever lasting memories. We will certainly be back with them soon. Thank you guys.Visited December 2022Written 2 January 2023
- Melanie S1 contributionThe best there isI can’t recommend Georgina, Nathan and the team enough. They have been teaching our twins to ski since they were 5 (now 10) and I wouldn’t use anyone else! They are patient and understand the boys well. They have taught them so well that they are skiing black runs without an issue and out skiing me 😭 Not only do they look after you with the lessons but they are a one stop shop for ski passes and ski hire.Visited December 2022Travelled with familyWritten 4 January 2023
- David WWestside5 contributionsThoroughly recommended!It was our first time skiing and Georgina and Nathan guided us expertly and patiently through the whole process from the start. Dominika and Mikaela are excellent teachers. Dominika got the adults skiing and they were delighted with her lesson. Mikaela was great with the children and we appreciated that she went the extra mile with them in the bad weather on our second day. The arrangements Georgina and Nathan made with Skisol went very smoothly and the staff there were very helpful. We stayed at the Kenia Hotel and enjoyed it very much.Visited January 2023Written 10 January 2023
- Philip E2 contributionsEMM3L learning to improveI chose the English Ski School after watching, and being impressed by, an active lesson on the slopes. The youngsters in our party (3) needed to be brought to the next ski level which the instructor did most professionally and competently. The youngsters enjoyed the lesson and despite the disparity in ability, each of them improved and felt that the experience was excellent. Being taught in English enabled them to explain their particular foibles and troubles clearly and they commented that this enabled subtlety and nuance in their descriptions. The experience was fun and worthwhile We will be back.Visited January 2023Written 14 January 2023

Booked a couple of hours of snowboard lessons for my girlfriend (beginner) and an hour for myself (intermediate). Booking was straight forward and really clear.
Meet up was simple. I found Nathan and his colleague straight away (can't remember his name).
Nathan was brilliant, got straight into the riding and he gave me loads of advice in the hour I spent with him. Pitched the level of technicality perfectly for my level.
The girlfriend really enjoyed her lesson and was great to see her linking turns the day after!

My daughter is an adaptive sit skier and Nathan helped organise a trip last week which was her first on real snow for 4 years. She has her own equipment and has skied as a sit skier for about 8 years.
We had a brilliant minivan and driver to transfer up and down the mountain. A fabulous instructor Lucia to assist around the mountain, especially with the lifts and to help my daughter feel confident again on the snow. Finally the hotel Nathan chose for us was perfect and suitable for wheelchair users. We cant thank you enough for taking all the stress away for me

The team at the English ski school are simply fantastic. Extremely efficient, reliable and easy to book with, their instructors are outstanding - both Dominika and Mikaela were brilliant, they taught our 7 and 4 year old daughters how to ski proficiently in only a matter of days, more importantly our daughters both loved it and them! Thank you guys! 🙏

We booked lessons through English Ski & Snowboard School for our first trip to Sierra Nevada and we couldn't have had a better time!
Georgina and Alberto were amazing. Having only tried skiing a few times before, I can get a little anxious, but Georgina made me feel so comfortable and actually made me feel like I could ski!
My husband has skied before, and had lessons in other ski resorts in Europe, but said that Alberto was on a different level!
We have already booked another trip and would never use anyone else now.
Highly recommend for everyone.

Nathan was absolutely amazing. I booked 2 hours on my first day and he made me feel so comfortable and confident at skiing for the first time, I then really looked forward to my second lesson on the second day which again was a brilliant lesson, Nathan made me feel safe and he was so patient and taught me so much! Thank you so much! I can now officially ski!!

I have always struggled to enjoy skiing but as my husband loves it I have continued to do my best for many years.
It wasn’t until I had a private lesson with Dominika that everything fell into place. I am just so happy I persevered and booked this lesson as I now love skiing as much as my hubby. The observations Dominika made ensured she pin-pointed my difficulties and with great patience she corrected each one. I can’t thank her enough and can fully recommend this ski school.

Absolutely brilliant! Right from the start Nathan and Georgina were organised, encouraging and great at accommodating our family of five. The lesson was great fun and Nathan was fantastic at explaining everything that we needed to do to get going safety. It was a highly personalised service and our children 19, 15 and 12 were eager to go back for more lessons which we have now booked. I would highly recommend Nathan and Georgina to anyone looking for ski or snowboarding lessons up in the beautiful Sierra Nevada ski resort.

Would definitely recommend - very well organised (ski lessons, equipment rental, lift passes) and flexible during half-term (vs British Ski School requiring Mon-Friday booking even if you only had a part-stay). We had a great lesson with Georgina who also managed our booking, followed by three days of lessons with Kiko who produced a material improvement in our skiing ability!
