Course Objectives- strong technical skills for skiing variable and difficult snow
- speed and line control on steeper terrain
- effective use of terrain shapes and features
- stability and balance on firm, mixed, or inconsistent surfaces
- safe movement strategy for off-piste skiing
- reading terrain and understanding potential hazards
Sample Program (adapted to level & conditions)Day 1 — Technical Assessment & Fundamental Skills- stance and balance corrections
- stability on firm and uneven surfaces
- short-radius and medium-radius turns
- pressure management and edge control
We focus on consistent technique and building a solid base.
Day 2 — Variable Snow & Rough Terrain- skiing crud, wind-affected snow, crust, and firm surfaces
- adapting technique to different conditions
- active absorption and pressure control
- reading and using terrain on moderate slopes
Day 3 — Steeper Terrain & Tactical Movement- turn shapes for speed control on steeper slopes
- techniques for firm or challenging snow
- safe group positioning
- choosing a line based on terrain and snow conditions
Day 4 — Forest Terrain & Narrow Passages *(optional)*
- skiing in trees and tight spaces
- developing a dynamic short turn
- fast reaction to sudden changes in snow and terrain
- tactical movement in complex environments
Day 5 — Advanced Technique & Full-Terrain Practice *(optional)*
- combining all techniques on mixed terrain
- handling difficult sections with changing snow
- optimizing rhythm, flow, and efficiency
- individual corrections and progression
Required LevelIdeal for confident on-piste skiers who want to move into off-piste terrain, as well as for riders looking to significantly improve their technique in all types of snow.
