Hi there 👋
We are two dudes from the French Alps 🏔 and we wanted to improve the booking process for ski instructors ⛷🏂
Given that the "incumbent monopolist" hasn’t really supported innovation in this market for the last 70 years, we thought it was time to try something 😎
It’s our first winter ❄ so we currently only have instructors around our area (think Chamonix / Megève / etc) but hopefully we’ll be able to expand to other resorts 🔜 🌍
We’d love to hear your feedbacks!
😙😙
PS: If you actually want to book an instructor you can use the promo code HUNTER 😉

@bentossell I love these use cases!
Traditionally people used to book their ski instructors in advance, but we also believe that there is room for on-demand scenarios. (As you said, nobody can anticipate a massive pow pow day 😊 )
As for meeting people (while skiing), this is indeed something we've seen a lot of interest in. It also reduces the price, which could democratize the trend 👍
Happy to chat more about this!
Awesome work guys! The only concern I have would be having British instructors on there (with BASI), which it doesn't look like you have. I'm unsure about how qualified a French instructor needs to be to work independently, but a British worker in the French Alps needs BASI level 4 to work independently, there's a ton of legal cases with instructors being fined >€30000 for this (my friend got in serious trouble).
The platform looks awesome, and loving the concept.

@nicksmithr Thanks Nick, much appreciated! You seem to know well the intricacies of the ski instructor "system"
On our platform we activate instructor manually so we can verify (on a public database) that they have the required "degree". But we will definitely try and get British instructors too, as long as they have passed the "Eurotest" (as you mentioned) so they can teach in France :)

Cool idea and brilliant landing page. My only comment is to definitely change some of the wording that makes it sound like only males can be ski instructors :D
