Hi Lynne,
Just a quick email to thank you very much for your excellent tuition last week. Kathryn came out of it feeling so much more confident than when she went in and the kids loved it, particularly Felix who probably wins the award for most improved.
We all enjoyed our time up the mountain and, finances willing, we’ll do it again soon.
I shouldn’t have taken the photo with everyone facing into the sun!
Thank you, again.
All best,
David Butterworth and family (February 2020)

Lynne is a kind soul with an amazing amount of knowledge, skill and patience. Both his snowboarding and skiing teaching methods are gentle but profound. Lynne gives you an amazing amount of confidence and provides the tools to ride your skis or board in a way that lets you tackle any type of terrain. His skiing technique is all about using the equipment and body alignment. This method is so effective that he managed to teach me to ski in 2 weeks when I had a broken leg (I later found out that a suspected sprained ankle, sustained earlier while hiking, was in fact a break)!
I have really enjoyed Lynne’s teaching technique so much that each time I have had an injury (a broken foot one year and torn ACL and MCL another year) I have returned to Flaine specifically to have lessons from Lynne. He understands how your body and mind works and can give you techniques which help overcome any block or fear and gets you confident to start sliding again. He has managed to make me feel confident on skis after two bad injuries and has helped to improve my boarding. Without Lynne I am sure I would not have returned to the snow so quickly (even though 2 of my injuries were not sliding related). My partner and I heartily recommend him for skiers and boarders of any level.

Hi Lynne,
I just wanted to drop you an email to thank you for making my holiday to Flaine so enjoyable last week. I have arrived back home feeling like my skiing but especially my confidence improved significantly thanks to your expert tuition.
The boys and Paul also echo my thoughts and I am sure we will be back next season to Flaine and will be in touch to book some lessons as soon as we have made the necessary arrangements.
Kind regards and best wishes for the rest of the season.

Hi Lynne
Just a quick note to thank you for the fantastic week of lessons in early April. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and learned an awful lot. It makes such a difference to have detailed discussions in English, and you explained and demonstrated your techniques with great skill. Your calm and patient manner was brilliant too, and that really helped Mollie to progress in particular.
We hope to return to Flaine next year and will be in touch about some further lessons.
Have a lovely summer in Hawaii in the meantime.
Best regards,
Paul, Mollie, Felix and Tony Casbon (April 2019)

Hi Lynne,
We wanted to drop you a quick note to say thank you for our lessons this week. Over four lessons you improved our technique unbelievably. We have all had lessons before but never had the level of success that we had with you. The way that you teach both the science of how the skis work as well as the technique really helped us.
Also the “Powder” lesson was brilliant and following your instruction we were very confident to ski in deep snow the rest of that day, something I never thought we could achieve in such a short time.
Thanks again and we hope to see you next year.
Regards

Hi Lynne
We are now back in Manchester and wanted to send you a message to say a massive thanks for a great week of lessons which we all really enjoyed as a family.
You have a nice relaxed style which helped build our confidence and understand how to develop our turning technique from snowplough to parallel turns in just 4 days. The lessons really helped us all get the most out of our holiday and we all feel like we have developed our technique and skills. .
Clair wanted to give you a special thanks for the time you spent with her on Thursday which really helped her recover her confidence in skiing!
Alice loved her medal and I’m sure it will be going to school with her on Monday for “show and tell”.
If we are able to return to Flaine, we will definitely be in touch to arrange further lessons.
Regards

I have to say a really BIG thank you for your help with my skiing – I had the best 2 days skiing on Thursday and Friday thanks to your tuition. I really felt confident with my new techniques, and enjoyed every Blue run in the resort – as well as tackling my first ever red (Faust) which I really enjoyed.
So, thanks again…. The best money I have ever spent on skiing.
I hope you enjoy the rest of the season.
Cheers

Dear Lynne,
Firstly, Happy New Year!
This is just a quick email to say thank you very much for your brilliant tuition while we’ve been in Flaine. We all learnt a lot, and had definitely improved as we enjoyed our last couple of days skiing in the sunshine.
Please find attached a photo of you with The Watson Ski Formation Team. We’re on our way home now, but look forward to seeing you again in Flaine soon. Enjoy the rest of the season!
Many thanks,
Jane, Nige, Eddie & Peggy Watson (December 2018)

Hi Lynne
Sorry it’s taken a few months to write to you but I wanted to thank you for the skiing tuition you gave me in Flaine back in February of this year.
I can’t believe how much you taught me in such a short space of time! Gaining some experience on the dry slope before my trip certainly helped but with you, I had my parallel turns down in no time and by the end of the week, I felt that I had improved leaps and bounds. It was great also that I was able to ski in a mixed bag of conditions throughout my week in France – in at the deep end so to speak!
I would, without doubt, recommend you to friends and family that visit Flaine for a ski holiday and should we come to Flaine in 2019, I’ll be sure to book some further lessons with you.
I hope you’ve had a great summer and look forward to seeing you again.
All the best

Hi Lynne,
I just wanted to say thank you for a great lesson in Flaine last week.
It really helped my confidence and technique and allowed me to enjoy the mountains even in the very changeable weather we had.
I have already recommended you to a number of friends if they are ever in Flaine and would be certain to have another lesson with you if we are in the area again.
Thanks

Dear Lynne
I wanted to write to thank you.
When I returned from Morzine last year I vowed never to ski again.
When I returned from Flaine this year I vowed to return!
Your intuitive way of teaching eased someone who was terrified of sliding down a mountain into a confident skier that enjoyed the experience – quite an achievement!
You came highly recommended by so many people and I can see why.
Thanks again for your time, your expertise and your company.
All best wishes

Lynne Stainbrook geeft op een heel rustige manier skiles, waardoor hij je zelfvertrouwen geeft en zorgt dat je voelt dat je controle hebt. Na 10 jaar skiën was ik nog altijd angstig, maar na zijn lessen ski ik met veel meer plezier en vertrouwen.
Lynne is heel flexibel met het plannen van de lessen, je kunt je schema tot een dag van tevoren aanpassen.
Neem zodra je de skivakantie gepland hebt contact op met Lynne, want zijn lessen zijn erg populair, en vol is vol.

The English translation is:
Lynne gives you ski lessons in a very relaxed way, that makes you confident and makes you feel in control. After 10 years of skiing I still felt anxious, but after Lynne's lessons I am skiing with much more pleasure and confidence.
Lynne is quite flexible in adjusting your lessons if that is possible.
Make sure you contact Lynne immediately after booking your holiday, because his lessons are very popular, so before you know it he might be fully booked.
