ESF group lessons were criticised for large class sizes, poor English-language skills and an overly dogmatic &#8216;one size fits all&#8217; approach, but ESF has responded and become more flexible and user-friendly with more English-speaking instructors. As well as the classic week-long half-day ski-school courses for novices, they now have &#8216;one-off&#8217; lessons and short courses for intermediate skiers who have not had a lesson in years and want a quick refresh, private instruction and half-day introductions to off-piste skiing and ski touring. The ESF offices also provide mountain guides and regularly organise off-piste groups that individuals can join on a pay-per-person basis which are excellent value for money. The one-day group expeditions for experienced off-piste skiers run by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esf-montalbert.com\/adults\/off-piste\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">ESF Montalbert<\/a> are particularly recommended.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<h3>Oxygene<\/h3>\r\n<p>Oxygene, another large ski school, is based in Plagne Centre, but their group lessons start at 10 am so skiers from other villages in la Plagne have time to get over to the meeting point below the Colorado chair (look for the blue banners). They also operate a minibus service to and from some of the other villages. They also provide off-piste mountain guides. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oxygene.ski\/la-plagne-ski-school\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Further information &gt;<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<h3>Evolution 2<\/h3>\r\n<p>Evolution 2 is a progressive ski school that operates out of Montchavin-Les Coches.
