Customer reviews
We were very pleased to be at your Ski Cool during our skiing in February 2015. Federico and Nichole were our ski instructors and we were very pleased with them. They are both very skillful and attentive. Their great contribution to teach us helped improving our ski technique a lot. Besides, we were so happy with their friendliness and this made our ski holidays one of the most enjoyable. We would strongly recommend our friends to use Ski Cool service at any time and that of course.

Dave has to be the BEST teacher / guide I have ever had. He was great company, very good advice, excellent teaching, I cannot give him enough praise – you (Ski Cool) are very lucky to have him. Again, I had a great experience with the school and have given your contact details to friends of mine who will be coming at the end of the month as well, I told them that you were THE BEST!

Savannah had a very pleasant experience with Victoria. Sophia and I enjoyed our time with Dave. He was very instructive and improved our skiing considerably. He kept pushing me for improvement and was able to give easy to follow advice so I felt my skiing improved over the week. We will give you a call next time we are in St Moritz.

Vittorio was an excellent teacher but equally as importantly he was also great company. One of the first things he did was to remind me to relax again whilst skiing and his input and examples made my short turns much more dynamic. He also reminded me to adapt my stance on piste to the type of turn, speed and terrain resulting in greater versatility and increased stability at higher speeds. Thank you for some great lessons.

Vittorio and his team at Ski Cool St. Moritz provided a fantastic service for our family. The instruction and tuition was of the highest standard and we were able to completely tailor-make the service in order to cater for our whole family, which has an age range of 37 years and skiing ability of beginner to advanced. I would like to thank the whole team for making our week of skiing in St. Moritz so enjoyable.

Vittorio, we all had a wonderful time on Sunday. Pete did the marathon in under 3 hours, Mark did it in about 3.30 hours as did Leslie. Nick and Scott did it in just over 4 hours. Suzy in 4.30 hours. Lucy and I did the half marathon in 2 hours 15 mins. Everyone loved it and was pleased with their performance. We all want to come back next year! Thanks for your great lessons which were such a huge help. We really enjoyed them too.
