\n"I am an enthusiast who skis 2-3 times a week. I took a private lesson from CustomSports to get tips on skiing technique and equipment and already during the lesson I got a lot of valuable information. Koutsi was an inspiring and motivating teacher. Warmly recommended!"<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

"The skiing technique group lesson was nice and effective. Even though there was a lot to talk about, the whole was clear. We got personal feedback and we tried the exercises several times. Being enthusiastic about the technical school, I wanted to go skiing more often. We were already asking when we would take a refresher lesson."<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
