    "Corinne is a wonderfully supportive and knowledgeable instructor, who packed a huge amount of advice into a short time. Wish I'd had lessons with her years ago - she's brilliant!" Jeff, April 2022

    "Getting a session in with Corinne is the highlight of a week's snowboarding for me. She's able to push me out of my comfort zone to learn a lot in a way that's really fun." Tom, March 2020

     

    "Absolutely brilliant coaching, really breaks it down, really encouraging and positive. It is hands down because of Cozza that my progression from 2019 to 2020 has been immense.
    So where is our 2021 trip? Tignes again!" Waverley, March 2020
