Routes in Chamonix, St Gervais, Megeve, Meribel, Les Contamines, Flaine, Les Carroz, Samoens, and Morillon are all carefully chosen based on weather and current conditions to ensure the best experience possible.

Off Piste Skills 1

This course is all about understanding how your skis perform in soft snow and learning how to adapt your current on-piste skills to handle varied conditions. We’ll start by exploring short sections just off the side of groomed runs, focusing on how to link a few turns together in different types of snow. We will use terrain suited to your skill level, then once you’ve gained confidence, you’ll have the foundation to keep practicing and join us for level 2 when you’re ready for more.

Duration: 5hrs (2x 2.5hr Sessions AM/PM)

1 Hour lunch break allowing for continued Q/A & feedback with your coach.

Existing groups are highlighted blue dates on the booking calendar. Alternatively, you can make a new ‘Shared Lesson’ group at any time. Just get in touch and book your spot today!

Off Piste Skills 2

If you can already link turns off-piste in varied snow conditions on blue-level gradients, this course is your next step to explore more off-piste terrain. We’ll start warming up with the basics of skiing in soft snow before developing individual actions plans to refine your technique based on your specific goals and performance needs. Using a mix of on-piste and off-piste terrain with prescriptive drills and tasks, you’ll work at your own pace, with a tailored session designed to help you improve effectively. We will adjust the terrain to match your development where appropriate.
