"Gabriel was punctual and from the beginning easy going to talk to. I have personally spent myself going through different reviews of other ski schools and this guy's got the best when it comes to having fun and learning how to ski. I would definitely recommend anyone who is looking for ski classes at Chamonix to contact Skibex!"
