Deep snow and skiing technique day course with mountain guide
Together we will improve your skiing technique so that you can enjoy your next ski tours and freeride days even more!
Learn the technique for skiing in deep snow. We work together on the basic movements of skiing. We learn the three phases of the turn with different exercises. First on the piste and then in deep snow. We practise the movements on easy terrain and then put them into practice in deep snow. After this instructive day, you will feel fit for the coming ski season and have the basics to work independently on your skiing technique. Tailored to your ability, we will support you with individualised, targeted exercises. It is most effective if you practise the exercises shown on another day independently in a ski area.
The day course is compact and contains the most important things - if you want to go into more depth, you will benefit most from a of our 3 day courses.
Course content & procedure
We get to know each other and clarify your expectations.
We don't learn to ski in deep snow, but on the piste. The first step is to learn and apply the correct movements. This process takes place on the piste. To get more feedback, we switch to off-piste terrain for short sections. There we quickly fall back into old patterns and gain new insights, which we can then work on again on the piste. As soon as the mistakes on the piste are no longer visible, we return to the off-piste terrain to uncover and correct further movement patterns.
We teach you the skiing technique and how you can improve your skiing in a targeted way.
Daily destination: You have acquired the theoretical knowledge of skiing technique according to Swiss Snow Sport, know your error patterns and know how to improve your skiing technique.
