Private Ski signature with Thierry

Who Is Thierry Vachez?

Thierry Vachez runs the EasySkI ski school in Alpe d'Huez. A former racer, he has turned his passion for competition into a genuine vocation for teaching. As he likes to put it: « I know how to ski, but above all I know how to teach. » This philosophy lies at the heart of Ski Signature: every private ski lesson with Thierry Vachez is built around you, your level and your goals, with a demanding yet caring approach, with no pursuit of performance for its own sake. Here, enjoyment remains the driving force behind progress.

What Does Private, Tailor-Made Ski Teaching with Thierry Vachez Involve?

Unlike a group lesson, where the pace has to suit a mixed group, private, tailor-made ski teaching with Thierry Vachez is based on constant one-to-one attention. You put together your own group, from 1 to 4 people, with family, friends or on your own, for a single flat rate. Thierry assesses your level within the first few minutes, corrects your technique in real time and adapts every exercise to your progress. He also gives you a test booklet, with the option of buying your medal if you wish — a great way to mark your progress on the snow. Beyond pure technique, Thierry also advises you on your equipment: settings, boots, gear suited to your build and your skiing style. A complete package, designed to make every outing on the slopes of Alpe d'Huez smoother and more enjoyable.
