Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Chamonix Guides

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
We've booked a two week trip to Chamonix in February, and we are looking for recommendations/suggestions for guiding for a few days. I've looked at a couple of company's (ski schools?) websites that have 3-6 day 'packages'... what we are looking for is to be shown around some of the ski areas, mostly off-piste, a little instruction thrown in but mostly freeskiing, in a small group, transport included, Vallee Blanche and maybe Courmayer.

Can anyone recommend a company to check out, or who/what to avoid? This is my first trip to Europe so I am not first-hand familiar with the whole guiding/multi-ski school issue.

Shellski, the Companies des Guides has an office near to the Tourist Office, but I don't believe they give instruction. You'de probably be better off with one of the main ski schools, if you don't like the ESF then Evolution 2 have an officee in Chamonix. Their website is www.evolution2.com hope you have a great trip.

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I can thoroughly recommend Andy Perkins if he's free. I skied with him on a week's powder instruction course based in Argentiere. Knew the area well. Very good on tips to help your skiing.

I'd recommend Walter Smallman at Guided Summits.

I just noticed this thread.
I have skied with some great guides in Chamonix/Argentiere.
My favourite, though he is really for the good off piste skier who likes to be adventurous and be stretched, is Remy Lecluse.
A tremendous guy who is one of the best, and most famous guides and great fun to be with is Roland Stieger.
A very good British guide is Jim Kerr. I don't know if you might find they were all booked up by now but you could try.
The trouble is that you do need a proper UIAGM guide for the off-piste, partly because much of it is glacier and only proper high mountain guides are supposed to lead on glaciers.
On the other hand you would be wasting your money to have a proper guide on piste - guides are really expecting to take you off-piste.
