Roger on the Blanchot Run (Altiport) in Méribel with an amazing young learner

Private British Ski Instruction - Meribel, Mottaret, Courchevel & across the Three Valleys

With over 25 years of teaching experience, I provide private ski lessons tailored to all skill levels. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your technique, our expertise in the French Alps will ensure you have a most memorable experience.

I cater for anywhere from individuals to groups of 6 and from a single lesson to whatever number suits your budget.

I learned to ski as an adult and my teaching styles cover the spread of all the technical, tactical, psychological & other aspects of skiing.

See below for a selection of superb testimonials from my clients and my useful Blogs at the bottom of this page

Some Typical Client Feedback (see My Bio page for more)

“Roger is the best”

"Roger is personable, reassuring and patient! Exactly what you need to learn. Thank you Roger!"

"Highly Recommended."

"I had three lessons with Roger in Meribel in Feb, I couldn’t say enough great things about him, super patient, very skilled and also a good laugh, left feeling like a much more confident skier than when I started, 10/10 would recommend!"

Anna. - Feb 2025

"Highly Recommended."

"Roger is personable, reassuring and patient! Exactly what you need to learn. Thank you Roger!"

"Highly Recommended."

"Just spent 6 mornings with Roger building up my confidence before a week skiing with my family.

Roger was incredibly patient and the lessons were very much at my pace, refreshing helpful tips I have learnt over the years learning to ski as an adult but reinforcing the techniques I need to use.

Roger knows the area really well and the best runs for me to attempt."

Samantha - Mar 2026

"Roger is personable, reassuring and patient! Exactly what you need to learn. Thank you Roger!"

"He was like a breath of fresh air! He took the time to carefully listen to what I was struggling with and taught me in ways that were so simple to learn.

He was a big part of our holiday and we will 1000% be back next season! "

Sophie - Apr 2026

"Highly recommend Making Tracks for Lessons."

"A friend shared how good their lesson with Roger was, so we booked for Alex & Isaac. They both had great lessons; don't hesitate to book with Making Tracks if you're in the 3 Valleys."

"Roger is personable, reassuring and patient! Exactly what you need to learn. Thank you Roger!"

"A great, calm ski instructor with a lot of patience. Transformed our very stubborn 5 year old from refusing to ski on her own to confidently whizzing down green runs in just a few days and loving it!"

Lian B - Jan 2026

"A friend shared how good their lesson with Roger was, so we booked for Alex & Isaac. They both had great lessons; don't hesitate to book with Making Tracks if you're in the 3 Valleys."

"Thanks Roger for 2 great lessons; both Alex & Isaac learned some great tips and came away more confident. We highly recommend you to anyone who wants lessons in the 3 Valleys."

“ROGER IS A LEGEND!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

"A friend shared how good their lesson with Roger was, so we booked for Alex & Isaac. They both had great lessons; don't hesitate to book with Making Tracks if you're in the 3 Valleys."

"What can I say? Roger is a legend!! He truly restored my confidence in skiing when I just wanted to give up and go home! ...

I went from a quivering mess to a confident beginner in the space of 3 hours... If in doubt do not hesitate to book a private lesson if you can afford to, it will be worth every penny.

If and when I return to Meribel, my first point of contact will be to book a refresher..."

Kathy P. - Jan 2025

"We can't recommend Roger highly enough..."

"I Highly recommend his tuition - especially if you're anxious about improving. Thanks Roger!"

"We can't recommend Roger highly enough..."

"We were incredibly lucky to spend five days skiing with Roger during our week in Méribel and we honestly couldn't have asked for a better instructor. My husband and our two children (15 and 18) had never skied before, and Roger somehow managed to build their confidence and basic skills within the very first day."

Babette Pye - Jan 2026

"Fantastic Lessons with Roger!"

"I Highly recommend his tuition - especially if you're anxious about improving. Thanks Roger!"

"We can't recommend Roger highly enough..."

"Our second year of lessons with Roger ...

He got us all skiing confidently... and even managed to get our extremely stubborn 5 year old absolutely loving it (after she spent 3 days refusing to put skis on!).

We can’t wait to book again next year!!"

Lian B - Mar 2025

"I Highly recommend his tuition - especially if you're anxious about improving. Thanks Roger!"

"I had a really positive experience during my two lessons with Roger, who is friendly, patient and positive. I struggled 2 years previously with group lessons and lost confidence. Roger not only helped restore it, but I felt far more experienced and in control after just two lessons."

PJ - Jan 2026

“Highly recommend lessons with Roger ...”

"I Highly recommend his tuition - especially if you're anxious about improving. Thanks Roger!"

"We booked 3 mornings of lessons for my 10 year old daughter with Roger ...

From the outset he was friendly and positive, breaking the ice with her by discussing their snack of choice in the mountains….

She loved the lessons ... and we saw an unbelievable change in the way she skis and her confidence in tackling anything...

First class experience with Roger..."

Sarah P, London - Mar 2025

“Fantastic Lessons”

“Highly recommend lessons with Roger ...”

"Best ski instructor ever!”

"... Roger was fantastic and really helped me with my confidence and technique. Every movement was really well explained in a format that was easy to understand but made a lot of sense. I immediately booked a second lesson after my first.

My advice - don’t hesitate to book! You won’t be disappointed."

Lisa.Madeleine - Mar 2022

"Best ski instructor ever!”

“Highly recommend lessons with Roger ...”

"Best ski instructor ever!”

"I've had quite a few ski lessons previously but Roger is by far the best teacher I've ever had. He was patient, friendly, knowledgeable and really interesting. I've never had the 'why' of skiing explained to me before....

All 3 of us felt we got a lot out of the lessons even though we were a really mixed bag ...

Whatever level you're at, a lesson at the start of your holiday will really set you up and we thoroughly enjoyed the rest of our week (although we did miss Roger's stories!)

Highly recommended!"
