5.00As soon as we met Shauna, we felt at ease. She is a very caring and kind person. We were complete novices at skiing and the lesson allowed plenty of time for us to learn how to fall over and get back up . We are a mature couple and were not sure if we could do it, but Shauna gave us the confidence and encouragement that we needed. The small groups (max 6) certainly allows everyone to learn at their own pace. Thank you for taking us to the back of the lake to see the frozen falls and ice climbing. Something we will never forget xx.
Great experience!!

5.00My wife and I went with Shauna to Lake Louise for a beginner cross country ski lesson and had a fantastic time. She took us to a good trail and taught us the basics from the ground up. Shauna was very patient with us (mature adults) and has a great sense of humour. We would certainly book with Shauna again.
