The average group size will be 8.  Where one World Class Snowsports Teacher is hosting the week, the group may be split into two equal sessions to accommodate the differences in standard. In this event you will be offered alternate AM and PM sessions.

In the event of HB not being available, a meal allowance of £25 per day will be charged.

CLASS LEVELS

7. World Class Skiing Ltd will endeavour to ensure that clients ski/board at a level where they can relax, excel and enjoy the experience. This may occasionally mean that they are in a different group from a friend or partner. If clients specifically wish to ski with a fellow traveller, we will endeavour to accommodate this request. In this event, the selected group for both parties will be at the slower pace.  Due to the variance in teaching techniques and appropriate terrain, skiers and boarders cannot be accommodated in the same group

WEATHER

8. Due to the nature of the mountain environment there may be occasions where the weather conditions may prevent the course running, either for a few hours, or in exceptional circumstances, for days (or indeed the remainder of the course.) Where possible, this time will be made up at the discretion of the World Class Skiing teacher, but this will not be binding.  Clients should ensure that their travel insurance includes cover for this eventuality.

SNOW CONDITIONS

9. Our resorts have been chosen for their suitability to host World Class Skiing events. While snow conditions may vary, we will endeavour to use our skill and experience to continue within the prevailing conditions.  If advised by the WCST that the course is to be curtailed or foreshortened for reasons of health, safety, weather or snow conditions, World Class Skiing Ltd cannot be responsible for any client’s wellbeing if they choose to remain on the mountain independently.

INSURANCE

10. All World Class Skiing Ltd staff and contracted Instructor’s have their own Professional Indemnity insurance.  All clients are responsible for arranging their own travel insurance which must include Wintersport's cover. You will be requested to provide evidence of possession of a valid policy prior to commencement of the event.

World Class Skiing Ltd cannot be held responsible for the insurance arrangements of any partner organisations, i.e. hotel accommodation providers, who are expected to have arrangements in place which adhere to their own local legal requirements.  Any claims regarding accommodation must be made directly to the provider.
