Simon Butler

 

Business founder Simon leads the ski school team and can always be found out on the hill imparting his knowledge. His enthusiasm for helping people of all abilities to ski is as keen today as it was when he started.

 

Aged just 16 years, Simon was the youngest person to qualify on the first rung of the professional teaching ladder. He completed his teaching awards in 1986 and was awarded his Carte Professional. ”I have always loved skiing and just want to encourage everyone to feel the same way as I do about the sport,” says Simon. “I believe it’s important to meet the needs of skiers of all ability levels and this is why we work so hard to get our ski school groups right for everyone.”

Secrets of Success

So many of your customers return each year (last season 97 per cent were either repeat guest or holidaying on recommendation). There aren't many businesses that can boast this record, so what is the secret of this success?

 

"Our aim is to ensure all of our guests have a great holiday. I believe that people return because our management, instructor and chalet teams are all genuinely customer focused and will go out of their way to make sure our guests are happy - both in the chalets and out on the slopes. Whether guests have skied with us before, or are first timers, everyone can look forward to receiving a very warm welcome."

 

Great Instruction

Would you say that a main strength is the quality of the instruction you offer?

 

 

"Definitely! From feedback we know our guests love the instructional holiday formula. Our team of qualified British instructors are carefully selected for their experience and people skills and as a result we can provide tailored instruction for all - from the complete beginner through to the seasoned expert. The ski school is set up around safe, central meeting points that are easily accessible so friends and families are united at the start and finish of their lessons. This offers great peace of mind especially for our beginners, nervous skiers, parents and children."
