Thank you for all your help guys. Never known instruction like this on any ski holiday (excellent!). Overall value for money was amazing and very well run! Would recommend to anyone! And have never been given beers on the bus on the way to the resort! (amazing!) and Louisa was very nice and talked to us on the way here!

Lessons were fantastic. Had great one on one sessions and progressed to black runs after just a few days of learning to snowboard.

Testimonials 2006/ 2007

To Alan, Chris, Amy, Gaz, Marina and Bartek
Unfortunately we must go home but we had the best time eva! Our first ski holiday and hopefully not our last. Had a great laugh and learnt to ski and board. Thanks for such a personal experience it was like being on holiday with your mates. You haven’t seen the last of us, we are determined to become expert boarders. So you will see us again soon. Don’t forget to wash your socks, and if you ever swing by Dublin we can take you drinking (our main sport). Good luck with the season.

Love Marisa and Jason

P.S. Apologies for the terrible writing, in the car using my phone as a light!!!

1st Impressions couldn’t have been any better. A few cold beers to keep us smiling through the journey. Our chalet was great, the meals were homemade and really very good. The Skiing was fantastic, real good slopes and jumps, and the instructor was awesome! Apart from being a great skier he is a great instructor. Alan – the instructor, had me side grinding a funbox haha. I’ve only been skiing 3 weeks. Anywho I really do recommend sunshine world holidays. You will not be disappointed. You will have a great time and meet great people.

Terry M

Thank you sunshine world, for giving me this experience. I have never been skiing yet the instructors were so encouraging. And the hospitality at our chalet was fantastic! Every morning to afternoon we would go skiing and I enjoyed every moment of it. So I’d like to thank all the staff at Sunshine World.

Liam

To all the Sunshine World Team “dzien kuje” Thanks for the great holiday even though the snow was a little sparse we had a blast!! Top times – Beer, roosters, Genesis and skiing – Slovakia and Auschwitz also good. Everyone appreciates all the staffs’ work. Hopefully see you again.

Great time had by all. Keep up the good work. Go Andre and Bartek.
Carton Family

We have had a really great week away and have enjoyed meeting everyone very much indeed. The families have been excellent company and we are very sorry to be leaving so soon.
Managed to practise some polish and speak a bit of Russian! I thought that everything was very friendly and personable and the chalet was family-friendly.
Spent most of the week thinking how much I would love to have a go living out here – so if you ever need a Russian-speaker just let me know!

Shirley O’Riordan

Team Edwards Says… Thank you, for a fantastic holiday! We’ve had a lovely time, (with a few bruises along the way!) It’s been a lot of fun and we’ve learnt to ski!!
Thanks again!
Katya Edwards, Oliver

Thank you!!!
I’ve had so much fun! I can actually ski now! Thank you again!
Chris Edwards

To Alan, Chris and team thanks very much for a great ski holiday. The tuition was 2nd to none on all stages my family have came on leaps and bounds with a culmination of black and reds, superb. I would like to wish you and your team all the best for the future.
Cheers
George, Karen

P.S. We will be back

To Alan and the team.
Its not often that you are asked to comment on an adventure, but that’s exactly what my family and myself have had, an adventure. The hotel’s down to earth personal touch has kept all of us guessing what to expect next. The skiing has been awesome, the measure of progression thought fantastic tuition (all of it a laugh rather than a chore) is near immeasurable. All of our needs from top to bottom, our chalet was perfect, was as absolutely catered for. I couldn’t wish for a more perfect holiday and can’t wait until my family are part of the whole experience again.

James reid, Janet and shauna

What I found good about sunshine world is where they took us to different ski slopes instead of one. And I liked it how the holiday reps treat you like a friend and not just someone you have to teach. I liked the different ski classes (even though I didn’t attend to a lot of them) because if you just had one class, people may not have the same ability as everyone else! So it was good that they set them in 3 different groups!

Well it was great coming here, and the ski reps were ace!
Prob come back next hol!

Love yaz

“To all the Sunshine Crew… Thanks for a great time.

You are all lovely and collectively you complement each other beautifully and make a great team. If I was you mum – I’d be proud of you. Thanks for everything” Chris Gibbon and Josh – I’m a demon – Larwood 23/02/07

A privilege to have met you all” Jane and Ewan Pyke 23/02/07

“Alan, Amy, Marina, Gaz, John, Bartek…and of course the Brer! We have had such a great week not only with you company but also in you company.

“I have really enjoyed the week and I’d like to come back again” Locryn 23/02/07
“Third time lucky for the Wood family. On the last night of our second and best skiing/snowboarding holiday and various family members are still engrossed in your utter knowledge and pure enthusiasm for your lives, jobs and New Zealand! With a week with you guys not once were instructions garbled our way with a rushed demo and a resemblance of “follow me” attached to the end in an accent of some description! Although many party tricks did come out from time to time your egos remain almost too low for all your capabilities. To achieve such great things and inject so much enthusiasm into what you do is remarkable. All the things said by Chris in his speech and everything preceding this are completely deserved. Thank you all so much for making this holiday one of the best most unforgettable as yet. It will never be lost what was gained with you all” Polly Wood 23/02/07

“Thank you very much to Alan for recommending ‘Jimmy Anskiis’ (I don’t know how to spell it!) Because the chocolate soufflé is gorgeous oh and the skiing was great too!” Millie xxxx 23/02/07

“Brilliant, fabulous, marvellous – learnt so much had so much fun, a holiday of a lifetime. Truly the best team we’ve ever experienced. Hope that everything goes as planned for Sunshine World and the rest of the team. I think Polly and Chris said everything that needed to be said” Alice xxx 23/02/07

“This may have been our last family holiday with Alice off to uni this year. Thanks for making it such a memorable one. You have got something very special here – keep it that way. Lots and lots of luck with all your ventures – oh and a HUGE thanks for some fantastic skiing tuition.” Joanne and Pete Wood. 23/02/07
“Dear Sunshine World, I learnt a lot in one week and I think the ski instructors were very kind and you took us to great ski resort and they gave us great transport. The party was a great success we had a wonderful time. Hope we will keep in contact with you” The Garner family 23/02/07

“To all Sunshine World THANK YOU!!” Milo 23/02/07

"20/01/06
To sum up a Sunshine World Holiday in one word can't be done, but the closest word to it has to be "legendary".
With an all star cast of MTV Jackass to Darth Vader and Pussy Galore, the rating is mind blowing, and every minute will be breath taking. "Obstacles are what you see when you take your mind off of the goal" and with the level of instruction and confidence boosting that has been provided there has never been any obstacles. Time to hit those black runs and off piste like a rat out of a trap for one last time before hitting the countdown to our next trip. Bring on 2007. Best of luck dude with everything and don't forget to "get your ass up in the air"
Cheers Chief Mark aka Pussy!

" SAAAFE BLUD!
Cheers big-ears for an ace holiday- best we've had in some time, an quite possibly the best skiing holiday. Thanks for the crate of beer and showing us how the poles (and Germans) like to "party". It's a shame we only had a week here but our fans miss us and our 7 star skiing so we'll leave you and maybe see you again at New Year. We'll keep in touch, love,
Your mom (Sarah and Phil)"

"Just wanted to say many thanks for a wonderful and memorable few days. It was great to get back on skis again- after 30 years!- But best of all was the tuition and the care you all took. Great human touch- Michelle (6) will be especially thankful for Alan's close attention: her badge is being carefully guarded! Keep up the good work, but also- after our trip to Slovakia- keep the other side of the border in mind for Sunshine World's next expansion! All the best and many congrats for a great set-up.
