British Ski Centre - Sierra Nevada English Speaking Ski School
Sierra Nevada is a unique resort in that it has around 30 independent ski schools. The Spanish Ski School, (Escuela Española de Esqui), was the first to be established in 1962. Since then, individuals or groups of instructors have peeled away and set up for themselves.
Most Instructors are trained and qualified to the requirements of the Spanish ski federation, the Real Federación Española de Deportes de Invierno, (RFEDI). In spite of the numbers of schools, the number of good English speaking instructors is very thin on the ground compared to the number of UK and Irish visitors. Native English instructors are even more scarce. For this reason, my colleague, friend and fellow ski instructor, Jonathan, and I have set up "British Ski Center".
British Ski Center was established in the Winter of 2002-3 and became a registered tradename in October 2006. The business now operates under the company name of "Sierra Essence Ski and Mountain Center 2006 S.L." as a legitimate entity dedicated, among other things, to the instruction of winter snow sports.
We are both fully qualified to the highest level of "Diplomado", through the Spanish Ski Federation and well reputed within the resort. Our aim is not to set up just another ski school but also to offer a more personalised service to our clients...
