The technical workshop for all beginners in powder
This programme is designed for both skiers and snowboarders. Build your skill on the piste and then enjoy the thrill of real powder snow!
You will be amazed at how fast you will progress in three days. The use of specially designed skis and snowboards for deep snow (which we provide) as well as our video analysis and learning programme make it possible.
Meet at sports4you sportshop at 9 am, introduce program, sign waivers, check gear then head for local ski area. After assessing the group's ski and board ability the group starts working on the progression of skills that must be mastered for off-piste terrain. Filming.
Day 2
Skill assessment and development (on and off piste) based on video analysis.
Day 3
New skills are applied to off piste conditions and developed.
We will be on the slopes for 4 to 5 hours, not including lunch break.
Guides and group size
Our guides are also fully qualified ski and snowboard instructors with years of teaching experience under their belts. Find out more about them here.
You will find this course a lot easier with an off piste ski, which has a minimum width of 70 mm underneath your ski boot. They should also have a soft flex.
To get more of a surfing feeling in powder, your board shouldn't be too short and should have a soft flex. Alpine boards and boots are not suitable.
We suggest bringing light clothing of varying thicknesses that can be 'layered' to achieve comfort and versatility.
Waterproof jacket (with hood) and pants Fleece
or softshell jacket Polypro underwear
(top and bottom) Wool or fleece hat Helmet Back protector Waterproof gloves
