Great instructors. You would be able to ski after first lesson here. Scott, Amelia, Dean, Dan, Christy are the best!

We visited for the first time this January enrolled six teenagers and one 9 year old in French Swiss Ski College. We had the best experience with Chris getting us organized and all signed up and situated. Chandler then took over as their ski instructor. He was the absolute best! May I say extremely patient with 7 kids after the first session they wanted a second one because they enjoyed Chandler and all the helpful techniques he gave them. As a parent it was very comforting to know they were with someone so encouraging and kind! Thank you Appalachian Ski Mountain and French Swiss Ski College we will be back!

Incredible school. Highly qualified instructors who’ll teach you solid fundamentals and the tricks of the trade. Learned skiing from Chandler last year and have been taking more lessons from him this season to refine my new lifetime skill. Decided to learn snowboarding too. Audrey, Hayden, and Rob were are top-notch instructors.

Two people to get ski lessons for an hour and equipment was almost 200 bucks. You have to rent everything at a different spot, clothing rental people were very nice, ski pass lady was also nice, locker rental lady downstairs was cranky old gretchen and was a total B.... Kids renting out ski's, helmet and boots were helpful and polite, ski instructor lady was really nice, helpful and gave a good class. If you don't learn it's because you didn't listen. Place is pretty busy for a Tuesday, I wouldn't go anywhere near there on a weekend (packed). Grounds are clean, slopes are very well maintained, not a lot of places for beginners to practice. Lots of kids, adult only days would be nice.. Cafeteria style food, everything looked fried, I wouldn't eat there. But I'd go back just to ski...

Worst ski school I have seen in 40 years. Way over crowded and teachers totally ignored kids. Kids 6 years and under were sent up the hill and no one watched or cared if they fell , slid or rolled down the hill. Parents were told to stay away. No watching. Don’t leave you children here. They definitely don’t care if they get hurt. When I went to the ski “college” to complain when my grandson was injured and not one instructor even noticed that he was at the bottom of the hill with a twisted ankle they apologized with “we were just overwhelmed with the crowd today”. Not an excuse if it is your child injured. How about not taking more students when you have exceeded your capacity. Just greed maybe? 25 kids ages 10 and below for one instructor is plain absurd for a sport dangerous enough to require a helmet. My kids started skiing at age 5 in very crowded ski resorts in Colorado. Parents could always check on their kids and classes never had more than 6-8 per instructor. These instructors didn’t even know who their charges were much less where they were or what was happening to them.
