About the Course
Tired of hearing the same old advice that never quite makes sense—or works? We’re ready to share some fresh ideas and our own coaching secrets that will help unlock some of your best turns yet, so you can enjoy skiing even more than you already do.
Camp Outcomes:
It’s time to break through to the next level. During this camp, you’ll ski the best snow available each day and, depending on conditions, you'll work on: carved turns, short turns, powder skiing, mogul skiing, off-piste skills . You'll leave with clearer understanding, stronger technique, and more confidence on any terrain.
You will learn and do:
Ski boot setup health check (optional)
Advanced carving techniques
Retraction-Extension mechanics to master advanced terrain
Steep skiing and powder skiing tactics.
Better short turns in all terrain
Coaching around adapting to terrain, flow and building confidence.
Ski faster but in control.
Powder skiing if we get it!
CARV
CARV user? So are us coaches! If you're skiing with CARV we will help you progress using the software. If you are curious about demo'ing CARV we can arrange a free trial so you can test it out during the camp. If you have no interest in using CARV, we TOTALLY get it! You will be coached conventionally (the good old fashioned way), rest assured CARV will not be the focus of the group coaching. Unless the whole group are using it, haha.
Groupings:
Max 6 skiers per group. 4 groups in total.
Each group will be streamlined into ability levels and you will stay with your coach all week to provide consistency and a better outcome for your development.
Task Coaching Session:
You will also have the chance to ski with the other coaches during a special task coaching afternoon session. In this session, groups will rotate through various on-snow challenges designed by each coach. You will coached and given feedback by each coach as you attempt their task.
This is a really fun way to ski alongside the other coaches and gain a new perspective without interrupting your group's rhythm for the rest of the week.
Who Is This For:
