Esprit's NEW afternoon-kids club, the Mountain Academy launches this winter with a confirmed appearance from Olympic skier Ollie Davies on 5th January 2023 in La Rosière, France.

The Mountain Academy is available in all of Esprit's French ski resorts for children aged 6 to 12 years and complements the ski lessons that they have in the mornings. Families staying the New Year week in La Rosière will have a chance to meet Ollie Davies.

During a Mountain Academy week, children will get the chance to learn fun new skills like orienteering on snowshoes, hide and seek with rescue transceivers and they will take part in lots of snow-related challenges like building igloos. New Esprit Ambassador Ollie Davies will bring an exciting focus to his visit to La Rosière, sharing his passion for winter sports with Esprit's younger guests.

Ollie Davies, who learnt to ski with Esprit adds: “If it wasn't for my family taking me on ski holidays and Esprit being able to provide the infrastructure for us to come and have such an amazing time, I wouldn't be where I am today or have the passion and enthusiasm I do now. I can't wait to help some younger skiers to improve their skills and maybe teach them a new trick or two.”

Esprit CEO, Joe Ponte adds: “We're delighted to have been the spark that inspired Ollie Davies' and many other children's passion for skiing and snowboarding. At Esprit, time for the kids, time for the parents and time together is at the heart of everything we do. This appearance by Ollie will be great fun and a special treat for our guests in La Rosière.”
