feedback
...So, what do people say about us, when we're not in the room?
We are exceptionally proud of the feedback we get from our students each year, and use it to make sure Fresh Tracks is always giving you what you want and need. We are also very pleased with the relationships we have built, and reputation we have established, within the ski industry with companies who recruit our students. Fresh Tracks is built upon our own knowledge and experiences of chalet hosting and so we are also humbled each year when we get comments from our employers, managers and guests.
Feedback is the main reason that we know we are doing a really good job, running Fresh Tracks and working as hosts. Take a look at some of the nice things that people have said about us below:

She plans to do a ski season but also it fulfilled part of her Duke Of Edinburgh. The skills she has learnt will be invaluable and so many tips you can only learn from a seasonaire!” ”
““I would like to thank you all for having me on the Fresh Tracks course and making it such a great experience. I really enjoyed meeting everyone and learning all about being a chalet host. Your guidance and experience was very helpful, and the course was well taught. It was clear how passionate you all are about your work and I admired your principled approach to the job. It was really inspiring and I am now more confident and determined that this is what I would like to do.””

Steve, Becky, Ben and Anna are so helpful with applications and improving you as a chalet host, to give guests a high quality service while also allowing you to make the most of your time skiing.
