1. Who are Acorn Ski?
Acorn Ski is part of Acorn Venture Ltd., established in 1981. Acorn Venture Ltd. is a leading provider of adventure and ski holidays and educational tours to schools and
groups. The company continues to grow from strength to strength thanks to the ever increasing number of groups travelling with us year after year - many coming to us
through recommendations.
2. Do you provide inspection visits?
Yes. Inspection visits provide an excellent opportunity to sample your chosen destination before hand. For a booking of 40 full paying people we will refund or contribute to the costs of a visit for two people.
3. What are the normal group sizes for instruction?
As a rule we allocate one ski instructor to 12 students. However, depending on the split
of skiing ability in your group, you can choose to use an extra instructor. Please ask us
for details
4. Why is boarding more expensive than skiing?
Snowboarding gains in popularity every year and we offer snowboarding packages in
all our resorts. It is more expensive than skiing because classes are smaller with a recommended 1:8 instructor per student ratio. Snowboarding equipment hire is also
usually more expensive.
5. Are helmets required?
We recommend helmets for all children under the age of 14. We suggest that hiring helmets is arranged in the UK before you travel to ensure the correct fit. (If you need assistance we will be happy to suggest suppliers.)
6. Do you have a safety management system?
Yes. Safety is always our primary concern and underpins everything we do: we set our standards at the highest level and never compromise. Our unsurpassed Safety Management System has been developed in conjunction with RoSPA, following Health
& Safety Executive guidelines. Please ask us for a copy.
