SUNPASS

SUNPASS Outdoor Expert with no parabens, "Expertise in extreme sun exposure for safe tanning", a high protection sun care line that was launched in 2005, in partnership with the ESF (French Ski School), providing ski instructors with made-to-measure sun protection. For the last 4 seasons, 15 000 ESF monitors have been using SUNPASS sun protection free of charge, within the framework of a partnership with the Union. The Sunpass Outdoor Expert range is made up of 11 hypoallergenic products, with no surfactants, no alcohol, no preservatives, no silicone and no artificial colours that do not dry out the skin nor have a comedogenic effect, and are suitable for all skin types. These protective products also feature the ESF logo, which provides a guarantee for their customers, as the instructors are particularly exposed to sunshine on a daily basis for five months of the year. Even though their tans are enough to make many of their students envious, it is vital to remember that effective sun protection is essential, in the same way as a helmet and sunglasses...Protection is even more important when we consider that the power of UV ray reverberation on snow is 90%, compared with 15 to 25% on sand. So, get into the right habit for our health and that of our customers; include sun protection, even in foggy weather when UV rays are just as harmful.

POWERADE

Because the sports drink Powerade is perfectly suited to the needs of the body of skiers during the effort, the ESF has decided to renew and expand the partnership in 2009. Indeed, in the mountains, cold accelerates depletion of your energy reserves and dry air increases water loss from the body. The sports drink Powerade has specifically been developed by sport experts to provide you with what the body needs during exercise (water and nutrients), and help support your effort. Powerade, the sports drink, will accompany skiers throughout the season on 145 ESF testing of Chamois and Flèches. Sixty thousand drinks will be distributed by the ESF instructors to participants of these unavoidable events.

Magnestick

The ESF, official partner of Magnestick The Ecole du Ski Français is a benchmark company at international level when it comes to tuition, know-how and adapting to new trends. Children account for the majority of the ESF's business and it was natural that it should become interested in the Magnestick concept, which brings together all of the criteria that it holds dear in terms of safety, comfort and ease of use. Accident prevention may be a hot topic these days but it has always been a priority concern of the ESF, which works to implement the best solutions for looking after and supervising its young customers. Thanks to their experience with children and the transportation problems that sometimes arise on ski lifts – particularly chairlifts – the ESF instructors were the ideal partners to help develop the Magnestick and put it to the test under real conditions. Their involvement in developing this innovative system gives the Magnestick the benefit of being a product "tested and approved" by mountain professionals whose reputation extends beyond France's borders. For the ESF, this partnership goes very much hand in hand with the commitment to quality that it continues to pursue, and illustrates its desire to be always at the forefront of modern developments. The ESF is the leading ski school company and takes seriously its role as a trailblazer in the field of innovation and progress in tuition and the practice of snowsports. And this close and long-term collaboration it has begun with Magnestick adds to its brand image, turning today's children into tomorrow's skiers.

Brossard

BROSSARD, THE SNACK-TIME PARTNER OF ALL THE "PIOU PIOU" SPORTING CLUBS. For several years, Brossard, one of the leaders in the market of pastry and catering products (frozen aperitifs and desserts, Savane cakes, brownies, fruit cakes, boudoirs) has become an active participant in the sporting world. Since 2007, after sponsoring sailing and the CNOSF (French National Olympics Sports Committee), Brossard has been committed to French skiing schools and has become the official supplier of snacks for 250 Piou Piou clubs throughout France. The Group’s will is to unite its teams around a common project, to develop the brand’s image, to modernise it and to associate Brossard with sporting values in general, such as performance and respect. The aim is to make Brossard become a citizen brand (by encouraging sporting activities) and to be close to its consumers. Brossard did not become a partner of "Piou Piou" sporting clubs by chance. United by the same spirit and values such as fraternity, respect, challenges, well-being and prevention, Brossard and "Piou Piou" clubs invite your children to share a convivial moment at snack time. This is an original way for us to introduce our delicious Savane Pocket cakes to all the little gourmet athletes, who will no doubt enjoy them. Becoming a partner of French skiing schools in the long term will give Brossard the opportunity to defend and share these common values, in a fraternal context.
