点评:Recently took a private lesson with an instructor at Escuela Técnica Sierra Nevada, choosing them based on strong reviews. We clearly specified when booking that we needed English-speaking instruction focused on improving our skiing technique (we regularly take lessons at various resorts and know what to expect). Unfortunately, it was a complete disappointment.
The instructor did not speak English, despite our explicit advance request—this made communication very limited. Instead of technique analysis, corrections, and drills, the lesson turned into a casual ride around the slopes: the instructor just led the way, pointing out runs and resort areas, with zero feedback or actual teaching. We received no useful tips on technique—it felt more like a guided tour than a lesson.
We emailed the school immediately after, asking them to address the issue and at least partially refund us. They apologized and offered a discount on another lesson with a different instructor, but ignored our request for a refund (considering our limited time at the resort, we had already booked elsewhere). It's been over a week with no further response.
Really sorry to waste time and money on this. I recommend other ski schools in Sierra Nevada with a more professional approach. If you're looking for real instruction, not just a ride around—look elsewhere.
翻译:最近,我们根据网上好评选择了内华达山脉滑雪学校(Escuela Técnica Sierra Nevada)的一位教练,并请他上了一节私人课程。预订时,我们明确表示需要一位以英语授课、专注于提升滑雪技巧的教练(我们经常在不同的滑雪场上课,知道会遇到什么情况)。然而,这次体验却令人大失所望。
尽管我们事先明确提出要求,但教练并不会说英语——这使得沟通非常有限。课程内容并非技巧分析、纠正或练习,而是变成了一次轻松的滑雪之旅:教练只是带路,指点着雪道和度假村区域,却没有任何反馈或实际的教学。我们没有得到任何有用的技巧指导——感觉更像是一次导览游,而不是一节课。
课后,我们立即给学校发了邮件,要求他们解决问题并至少部分退款。他们道歉并提出可以折扣价换一位教练,但却忽略了我们的退款要求(考虑到我们在度假村的时间有限,我们已经预订了其他课程)。一周多过去了,我们仍然没有收到任何回复。
非常抱歉浪费您的时间和金钱。我建议您选择内华达山脉其他更专业的滑雪学校。如果您想要的是真正的滑雪指导,而不仅仅是兜风,那就另寻他处吧。
