Would you like to improve your skiing technique and feel more confident in deep snow? In this one-day course, we’ll cover the basics of controlled and dynamic off-piste skiing. Together, we’ll look at the fundamental movements involved in skiing and focus on the three phases of the turn. Through targeted exercises, we’ll improve your technique and work on individual areas for improvement. We’ll start on the piste, where you can practise and consolidate the movements in a clear, manageable environment. We’ll then apply what you’ve learnt, step by step, to deep snow. We’ll tailor the exercises to your individual ability. This way, you’ll receive specific guidance and tools to help you continue working on your skiing technique in a targeted manner. You’ll achieve particularly lasting results if you repeat the exercises shown independently in the ski resort on another day’s skiing.
Target price
You are familiar with the theoretical principles of skiing technique as set out by Swiss Snowsports, can identify your own patterns of error, and know which exercises and approaches you can use to improve your skiing technique.
Would you like to find out more?
The one-day course provides you with the key basics in a concise format. If you’d like to practise your technique more intensively and spend more time on your personal development, we recommend that you our three-day technical courses.
Course content and meeting point
We’ll meet at the valley station of the relevant ski resort, get to know one another, discuss your expectations and start the day’s lessons together.
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 habits and gain new insights, which we can then work on again on the piste. As soon as the mistakes are no longer apparent on the piste, we head back into off-piste terrain to identify and correct further movement patterns.
We teach you the skiing technique and how you can improve your skiing in a targeted way.
