Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Ben and Griff took us from off-piste newbies to heliskiing in 2 days, then sorted out our carving skills the next day. Outstanding coaching and guiding. Peak Ski Adventures are as good as it gets.

We had 2 days with Ben one was off piste to prep us for a full touring day. Due to snow conditions our second day changed to piste lessons.
Ben really knows how teach and our whole group improved both off and on piste. A great time was had all around. Ben also went above and beyond to help us sort the correct kit that sadly wasn’t required.

Six of us spent an amazing three days skiing with Ben: one day off-piste guided, one day heli-skiing down practically untouched valleys then carving lessons. Ben tailored the days, made them fun, brought us all back safely and made us better skiers - seriously, what more can you ask for?

We tried a ski lesson with ESF in Val Thorens and although the instructor was very nice it was a bit generic and the level of English was so low we couldn't effectively understand what we were supposed to do
We decided to find an English speaker and found Ben the owner of peak ski adventures. He is a brilliant teacher and was able to quickly diagnose some technique issues and then show us how to fix them. By the end of the lesson we both felt much more comfortable controlling speed on reds and blacks.
Would 100% book more lessons with him in the future
Part of the lesson involved him videoing us and then watching it together to show us where exactly to improve

Ben's vast experience, knowledge and flexibility gave us a highly enjoyable and most importantly safe trip in challenging conditions on the mountains.
We experienced the best quality off piste skiing in hidden areas where most holiday makers were confined to a restricted a ski area due to the weather. Ben delivered tailored coaching in a relaxed style which exceeded our expectations.
We will definitely be going back!

Ben taught a group of us from the Ski Club of Great Britain exploring Val Thorens and the valleys beyond.
He communicated the intricacies of on and off piste skiing in a way that was clear to us all. There was a good balance of discussion, exercises and cruising a variety of areas. Ben was patient, attentive to our individual needs and made every day a fun experience.

I hadn’t taken lessons in some time, because I’m fairly happy with my level. But decided it was about time to see another instructor to “fine tune”. What a result.
Ben is great fun to ski with, and I genuinely learnt so much - stuff I didn’t realise I didn’t know - he was able to help my off piste ability to no end, so I have so much more fun now.
If you're at a different point on the ability scale - I've also seeng great things. My mum has also had several lessons with him - she struggled with her knees and confidence. He helped her to no end with a couple of simple techniques, and now she’s much more confident.
Really can’t compliment his instruction enough!

I don't think I could have enjoyed our off-piste days more. Ben's knowledge of the area meant we got to ski fresh track after fresh track in powder, whether it was on little known ways within the main ski areas or full blown off-piste itineraries. Ben is more than just an experienced guide who'll take you to amazing places though; his tips really helped me improve both my off and on piste technique, even after decades of bad habits. His expertise in ski technique and mountain safety come across all the time, as well as his infectious love of skiing. Thanks for the fantastic skiing Ben!
