Ski techniques – The world of advanced skiing and beyond

 

You have a few seasons experience, but maybe you are frustrated with your own ski techniques? Do you feel that something is wrong with your skiing, but you can’t quite puzzle out what it is? Do you feel that expert level skiing seems to be an impossibility for you? Maybe you just crave new skills?  Have you ever had a ‘great’ lesson and then realized that it hasn’t really changed anything about your skiing!  Did you go away thinking it was your fault and not the instructors? 

Firstly we would say don’t ever believe in the myth that just because you only go once a year you will never be an expert skier. Proper coaching will unlock all this for you. So NOW is the time to claim the glory that you have been robbed of !

 

What might we look at?

Steering and how to do it effortlessly and accurately.  Posture and body positioning. Different types of techniques.  What is carving all about and how and when might we do it?  What techniques should be  use for what conditions and what terrain?  How to use your equipment properly, including servicing. Mountain safety. How to lead groups.

 

Instruction and Guiding

You may have an ambition to become an instructor, or guide. You already know from your own experience that the world is crying out for good instructors who are not just good skiers themselves, but who are equipped to turn people into skillful skiers who love their sport.  We can also prepare you for foundation level instructor training and we can cut out much of the wasted time and leg work in that process.

 

Other skills

Moguls, powder, crud, ice. Plus a whole load of sundry tips….  some quite technical including how to choose and look after your kit, a subject that never gets taught !  We can also provide an evening master class in ski servicing.

Do you have someone who you would like to introduce to skiing and who you need to learn quickly?  In most cases we can take someone from non-skier to a parallel turns skier in 2 1/2 hours.
