Snowminds Avis 

Jeg havde en virkelig god oplevelse med Snowminds. Jeg var afsted på en skisæson i Bad Hofgastein i Østrig som skiinstruktør, og det har været en fantastisk oplevelse fra start til slut.

Snowminds var gode til at hjælpe med forberedelsen inden afrejse, og jeg følte mig godt klædt på både fagligt og praktisk. Under opholdet fungerede det hele rigtig godt, og jeg fik udviklet mig meget som skiløber og som instruktør samtidig med, at jeg fik en masse fede oplevelser på bjerget.

Jeg kan klart anbefale Snowminds til andre, der drømmer om en sæson i udlandet med skiløb og nye udfordringer.

Goed georganiseerd en een hele leuke mensen/teamleaders!!! Ik heb een super leuke tijd gehad.

Kæmpe anbefaling!
Jeg var lidt usikker på, hvad det krævede at blive skiinstruktør, før jeg tog afsted. Gennem Snowminds var det dog ingen sag, da jeg fik god træning og hjælp både før, under og efter uddannelsen. Jeg havde en fantastisk sæson!

Jeg havde en rigtig god oplevelse med Snowminds og mit skiophold. De var hjælpsomme hele vejen igennem – både før afrejse med information og forberedelse, og under opholdet hvis der opstod spørgsmål.

Alt var velorganiseret, og jeg følte mig tryg i processen. Destinationen og skiløbet var fantastisk, og der var en god balance mellem arbejde og fritid. Fællesskabet gjorde oplevelsen endnu bedre.

Jeg kan klart anbefale Snowminds til andre, der drømmer om en skisæson.

Had a very good season!! Joost and the rest of the team from snowminds helpt alot and were really fun during the 3-week course in Altenmarkt. Would recomend everyone!

En helt fantastisk oplevelse med Snowminds.
Alt var godt organiseret fra før afrejse til slutningen af kurset. Jeg havde en del spørgsmål og var i tvivl om valg af kursus i starten, men blev hjulpet hele vejen og fik bl.a. snakket med en teamleder, der havde erfaring fra det område, jeg skulle til, og derfor kunne svare på alle mine spørgsmål.
På selve kurset var vores teamledere virkelig gode til både at skabe et fedt sammenhold og hjælpe med alt, vi havde brug for.
Kæmpe anbefaling herfra!

Jeg havde en rigtig god oplevelse med Snowminds under mit kursus. Jeg følte hele tiden at der var nogen man kunne søge hjælp hos under uddannelsen og jeg følte virkelig de skabte en tryg og god oplevelse. De var også vildt gode til at komme med aktiviteter, hvilket gjorde vi allesammen havde et virkelig godt fællesskab. Kan ikke anbefale at tage sit instruktør kursus igennem Snowminds nok.

Ik ben ontzettend blij dat ik mijn anwärter opleiding bij Snowminds heb gedaan. Van begin tot eind zijn hun er om ervoor te zorgen dat je je opleiding haalt en gelijk aan het werk kan bij de skischool.

Ook als je vragen hebt of ergens mee zit kan je ook bij hun terecht. Dit kon ook van alles zijn, van hulp met theorie of andere persoonlijke dingen.

Hoewel het wel wat kost krijg je hier ook zeker wat voor terug. Alles wordt voor je geregeld, zolang jij alles geeft tijdens je training en opleiding kan ik je garanderen dat het een geweldige kickstart is van je hele winter seizoen!

I had a really great season with Snowminds. I met a lot of new people and made some great friendships along the way. The team leaders were amazing – always supportive, helpful, and created a really positive atmosphere throughout the course.

Overall, it was an unforgettable experience that I would definitely recommend to others.

Eigenlijk van tevoren viel het best tegen met hoe alles was geregeld omdat we vrij laat de informatie kregen, maar zodra we onderweg waren was alles heel fijn geregeld. We hadden fijne teamleiders en hele fijn mensen of deze ervaring mee te delen. Niet alleen heb ik heel erg genoten van het skiën en de lessen, ik heb ook genoten van de ervaring bij het hotel. Hier hebben we ook allemaal activiteiten gedaan en meer dan genoeg gedaan om met elkaar een team te worden, ook naar de teamleiders enorme complimenten want hun hebben er 100% voor gezorgd dat deze ervaring 10x beter is geworden. Niet alleen omdat hun heel fijn waren om bij te zijn maar ook omdat ze altijd bereid waren om ons te helpen, zoals mijn Duits of bijvoorbeeld bij wat ski tips.

A great experience from a great team. Skiing skills got really improved while having fun too :)

I joined a group of six skiers for the technical on piste training organised by Snowminds.
The Snowminds reps were all amazing they could not do enough for you.
The training itself was brilliant, iI was good fun and I definitely improved over the two weeks, the standard of ski instructors was very high.
The accommodation and food was fine with plenty of it.
I would definitely recommend Snowminds for someone starting out or wanting to improve and learn different aspects of skiing.
Thanks Snowminds and Mats my ski instructor, I had a brilliant time.

I had a great experience with Snowminds and would definitely book with them again. The entire event was very well planned and organised, and the team leads did an excellent job throughout. A special shoutout to Julia and Celina, who were fantastic organisers - everything ran smoothly thanks to their efforts.

The instructor, Edith, was brilliant - patient, calm, and teaching at a pace that worked well for everyone, especially beginners. The social events were also a highlight, as they were fun, interactive, and a great way to meet people.

I had informed the team in advance about my vegetarian dietary requirements, which was acknowledged. Although there was a small miscommunication initially, the chefs quickly took care of it and made sure I had special meals prepared from day one onwards, which I really appreciated.

In terms of feedback, Bad Hofgastein felt like a much better location for beginners compared to Dorfgastein, which didn’t have the most suitable slopes for learning.

Overall, a very enjoyable and well-organised experience with a great team - I’d happily recommend Snowminds to others.

Very dissapointing level of service.
I paid for a 10 week ski instructors cours through snowminds.
After payment went through we then didnt hear from them again.
I tried to ask questions and find out about information about the course, insurance and the ski pass.
After 3 weeks of my emails being ignored i finall wrote to them asking me why they were ignoring my emails.
I was told that they were busy with other things and didnt have time to answer my legitemet questions.

When we all arrived at the hostel on the first day, Snowminds did not send a representative to meet us and explain the situation, room allogation, info about the resort, nothing.
Instead after send quite a few text messages, the instructor from a completely differant school can to see us.
The evening meeting dinner was not hosted by Snowminds, but by Apex, the ski instructors that would be teaching us, infact Snowminds were not involved at all...it was all organised by Apex, who were very good.
I beg the question why i Gave Snow minds my 10K when they did nothing.
AND, a member of Snowmind staff lives in the resort.

It turned out aswell that we were not offered the mountain insurance that you can buy at the time of ski lift purches
This is an absolute must as it only costs 104chf for the season and covers any hospitalisation and airlift of the mountain, with no Deductable or excess.
This was not added at the time of purchase nor was it offered in the beguinning list of add ons when we signed up with Snowminds.
I had an accident and am now looking at a huge deductable and other costs because this insurance was not added, and it can only be bought at the time of purchase.
Snowminds told me that it was down to me to sort out my own insurance.
I clearly had local health insurance and travel insurance but these come with the excess.
We should have been informed of the Mountain insurance but were not.
All i can say is that they are a young company with very little hospitality experiance, and do not like clients asking questions.
They were not the school that the advertise either.

Then there is the hostle that we were put up in.
It was not clean and under all the beds was a huge amount of dust and debris...i had to ask for my room to be properly cleaned.
The owner was in appropriate with his demand and his messaging send very in appropriate pictures and gifs and making us feel very uncomfortable when recieveing letters and parcles. we lived there for 10 weeks.people wanted to send us stuff.
A bulb went in the lounge and when asked if it could be changed, the reply was' why would i change a light bulb for your comfort'.
There was a fire in a chellet just up the road, this made everyone very edgy, so i asked if he could supply a couple of smoke detectors.
The answere was NO, so i bought some.
Why would you want us to feel safe???

very dissapointing.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience travelling with Snowminds. Everything was very well organised. Great facilities, great and passionate instructors, as well as excellent team leaders. A real pleasure and definitely a warm recommendation. Even though it was a different experience going on a solo trip for 14 days, it turned out to be a very positive one and certainly not the last time!

I wanted to go on a solo skiing holiday 6 years since skiing last, and only having skied 6 times in the previous 30+ years! Snowminds provided me with an excellent reintroduction. I was so happy to find a holiday which provided 5 hours or so of ski insrruction every day, with one day off as I wanted to get up to speed asap. I was in a group of 4, with an excellent instructor, so the tuition was great and we had fun 😁. Lunch was somewhere in the mountains each day, with great views and excellent ambience, and a chance to meet up and compare notes with the other groups. The staff were wonderful, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. I chose to have my own room in the hotel, the dinners and breakfast were fine, and apres ski activities were available every night. Ski equipment hire was straightforward and the hotel was very near the slopes or the buses going to other ski areas.
If you want to go on a skiing break where you can really focus on improvement, with great company and instruction, then look no further!

I took the anwärter course with snowminds and I had a really really good experience! Everything worked out perfectly and smooth. I love how much snowminds prioritized all of us instructors. We had a very nice meetup day in zell am see during the end season with Julia and she was absolutely the best! So sweet and one of the best skiing days during the whole season. Much love to the snowminds team!❤️

It was a fantastic holiday, the mountains, the snow, and the surroundings being part of it. But above all, the perfect group with a great mix of age and background made it super. And especially the organization led by two top-notch people, Julia and Judith; they had everything under control, adjusted where necessary, were always reachable or available, and organized fantastic excursions. The instructors were also top-notch, experienced in snowboarding (in my case) and experienced in teaching it. In short, the best ski holiday I could have dreamed of, and you will definitely see me back there. Greetings from someone who already misses the mountains, the friends, and the snow, Tom De Bondt

I joined a one week ski technique camp with Snowminds and was sad to leave. I had an amazing experience. The coaching was professional, well structured and really helped improve my skiing.

I really want to highlight the work behind the scenes. The team leaders Julia and Celina did an excellent job, organizing everything and making sure the week ran smoothly and most of all, with fun!
Their effort and dedication really made a difference for me during my stay.

Highly recommended for anyone who wants to improve their ski technique and to have such a great experience! I'll be back for sure!

They were super fun weeks. The camp leaders were great and also super professional. They knew about everything. Julia, Judith, and Celina are all three really hard workers. They gave me the feeling that you could go to them with anything. Julia had an overview of the entire camp, so she had a suitable answer to every question. Celina is super social and loves connecting with everyone. Judith ensures that everyone feels heard and supported. They are all three wonderful people to have as camp leaders. The camp was super fun. The activities were fun, but in the last week it was a shame that some things were closed because it was late in the season. However, the camp leaders handled this well and arranged another fun activity. The dinner at the hotel was often the same every night and not very tasty. The rest of the hotel was beautiful and well organized. The hotel staff was friendly
