Off-Piste Skiing Technique Program
3–5 Days
3–5 Days
This program is designed for skiers who want to ski confidently in real mountain conditions — on variable snow, uneven terrain, firm surfaces, crud, wind-affected snow, and mixed conditions. The main goal is to develop solid technique and full control of your skis in any type of snow, not only in powder.
The program takes place in the Chamonix area or nearby resorts. Each day is adapted to weather, avalanche conditions, and your training goals.
