Description:
Join our experienced instructors for a multi-day off-piste clinic helping you safely explore the mountains and improve your skills and knowledge of backcountry skiing and snowboarding
This is a 4 day performance clinic for advanced skiers and snowboarders. You must be competent on black runs and have a minimum of 8-10 weeks of skiing experience and be in good physical condition.
Powder Skiing - Finding fresh snow and making your own tracks is one of the greatest things planet earth has to offer. Learn how to enjoy it safely and in control, whilst practising the best techniques and improving your skiing and snowboarding
During the course our instructors will teach mountain safety skills and avalanche awareness knowledge. Safety equipment can be provided and lessons will include tuition and practice of how it all works. The course will also include (but is not limited to):
- Forecasting and planning
- Group management
- Snow pack analysis
- Avalanche Bulletins
- Navigation, line choice and route planning
- Emergency procedures
Whilst much of the course will run in lift-accessed off-piste terrain, the course will include a ski touring or split boarding adventure. An introduction to ski touring equipment and skinning techniques is sure to get you well away from the crowds and have an unforgettable day exploring the untouched backcountry of the French & Swiss Alps.
We are teaming up with local ski hire business to provide an equipment deal if necessary.
