We booked 3 mornings of lessons for our kids (first -timers) 6,10,12. Luis was an amazing instructor and even better that he had the experience of having 3 kids and the multiple excitements that this brings from forgetting helmet one day to the little one needing more training before getting on the bigger slopes.
The children loved their experience and by the end of it were all skiing with confidence down the easier blues with ease!
Highly recommend for a fun family experience!
My family (wife and kids, 7 & 10) had 4 mornings of ski lessons with Diana who was just fantastic! They made much faster progress in this time than with more days of group lessons the previous year. Diana was happy to teach the basics and was great with fundamentals for us as second time skiers but is obviously a high level skier herself and I’m sure she would be just as great teaching any level.
She is a lovely, kind and inspirational person, very easy to get on with, we all loved her and were sad to say goodbye!
Best ski day of our ski season!
Juan is an amazing guide and a very nice person to boot. He gave us many useful tips to improve our freeride skills and feel more confident off-piste, showed us awesone lines we'd probably never found by ourselves and he was very careful considering avalanche dangers. On top of that, we were super lucky to get fresh powder and the views were gorgeous, so we couldn't be happier!
We're already looking forward to coming back to Verbier next season and going freeriding with Juan again :)

It was a trip or lifetime! Thank you Luis!
I have been skiing my whole life, never have I ever learned as much technical skills as the 2 days we skied with Luis. He is such a professional & passionate skier, extremely technical, give concrete examples and take you on a beautiful journey. I can only recommend drop-in snow to anyone that is looking to that their skiing skills to the next level :) I will definitely see you soon Luis! You are a true gem!
I experienced a breakthrough with skiing thanks to my incredible trainer Luis. He had an otherworldly level of expertise and was incredibly passionate, focused, and attentive to details. He used a variety of strategies, including lessons on feelings, biology, physics, snow quality, ski mechanics, and analogies to help transfer his knowledge.
Under Luis's guidance, I learned about the importance of keeping my ankles loose and the technique of angulation, which involved counterbalancing my body weight during each turn. I also learned about the significance of applying pressure to the external ski at the end of each turn, the benefits of having a diverse array of skiing techniques, and how to use my poles more effectively.
But the most significant breakthrough for me came when I gained the confidence to tackle the pistes noires. I found myself approaching the slopes with a curious, solution-oriented mindset instead of wear or worry.
Having a coach like Luis was a rare and wonderful experience; to enhance mastery in skiing.
No enough thanks can be given!
I was part of a group that hired Luis from DropinSnow as our guide for two days. I can’t begin to explain how helpful this was to my technique and overall skiing abilities. I consider myself an advanced skier. The detailed tips that Luis gave me took my skiing game to the next level in just two days. The most useful tip I received from him was to focus on relaxing my ankles while turning and carving. We tend to tense our ankles when skiing which translates to much less flexibility during compression/extension. This and the many more in depth feedback tips from Luis gave me a confidence boost that allowed me to “tear the snow up” on the next day when we went free riding! Very grateful for this experience and will surely be doing this again with him next year!

We hope to see you soon amigo!
Two of us had a great time skiing with Joan. We booked him mostly as a guide because we were unfamiliar with Verbier, but he also provided a few really helpful tips on technique. We weren't expecting great snow since it had been a couple weeks without fresh powder, but he still found us some really nice conditions and fun turns. And he spoke perfect English, and took some great photos/videos for us. No hesitations in recommending Drop In based on our experience!
