SKI AND SNOWBOARD TEACHING COURCHEVEL

There is little doubt that heading out on a ski holiday has an effect on the environment. At Momentum Snowsports our instructors' aim is to deliver the best ski and snowboard lessons possible while attempting to limit the impact on the mountain environment that operating as a British ski school abroad is likely have.

Delivering ski lessons for our instructors as professionals, means spending for 6-8 hours outdoors and our instructors need the best ski equipment to stay warm and dry. We’ve chosen Patagonia ski gear. Not only is it possibly some of the best around, but Patagonia has a great environmental policy and much of their equipment is made from recycled materials.

As a small British ski school operating in France, our largest environmental effort has been to join an organisation called 1% For the Planet. We have pledged to donate 1% of the funds our clients pay for their ski and snowboard lessons to environmental charities. We believe this is a small price to pay in order to help look after the spectacular mountains that lie at the heart of our winter snowsports.

In booking ski lessons with Momentum Snowsports we are confident that not only you will be inspired by your ski lessons with our all British team, but that your enjoyment will be enhanced knowing that you have contributed to the environment.

If you have a few spare moments, why not look at offsetting you own carbon emissions caused by your travel to Courchevel. A return flight from London to one of Courchevek's nearer airports will produce 0.19 tonnes of CO², but a tree, for example, will absorb this amount of carbon in its lifetime. The cost of planting the tree and offsetting your carbon emissions created by your flight, is only £1.41 and you can do this at www.climatecare.org.
