Powder downhill in Davos

Learn the technique for skiing in deep snow. We work on the basic movements of skiing together. Tailored to your ability, we support you with individualised exercises in a targeted and goal-oriented manner. We learn the three turn phases 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. It is most effective if you practise the exercises shown on another day independently in a ski area.

The one-day course is compact and contains the most important elements - if you want to go into more depth, you will benefit most from one of our 3-day courses (Saas-Fee, Davos or Lenzerheide)

  • Course content & procedure

    • Welcome and getting to know each other

      08:30 a.m.

      We get to know each other and clarify your expectations.

    • Ski technique training

      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.

  • Stephan Krähenbühl

  • Katharina Glaser

    Perfect ski technique course with Kevin. Thanks to him, it's now working with the Bruchharsch 😂
  • Larissa Samland

    Great technique course with Kevin! The day was packed with lots of valuable input and yet Kevin focussed on all of us individually and we had time to work on "our" construction site. We learnt a lot and took a lot away with us, it motivates us to jump back on the skis and deepen everything.
  • Beatrice Egger

  • Sandra Tietscher

    The technique training with Kevin was very instructive, from theory to advanced exercises, lots of skiing and individual feedback, everything was included. I think almost everyone who wants to hone their deep snow technique a bit can take something away with them, and at the same time it was just a super nice and fun day with a nice group!
  • Erich Wälchli

    Kevin is fully motivated and knows many helpful exercises. He knows how to cater to the different needs of his guests. I look forward to meeting Kevin again on another occasion, tour or course. Thank you very much, it was great!
  • Sarah Schwendener

    The ski technique course with Bergschaft was great fun. This 1-day course gave me a good foundation in technique for deep-snow skiing. The instructor, Kevin, was extremely competent and his positive manner was very motivating. This motivation has been transferred and I am looking forward to my first ski tour in January.
  • Dominik Hetzer

    I did a deep snow course - it was great! Individual support and development and the fun is not neglected :-)
