Physical & technical requirements
There are five ski camps to choose from:
Beginner Ski Camp
This camp is for complete beginners who’ve never skied before, and nervous skiers who can snow plough and stop, but are unable to link turns. It’s an intensive introduction to skiing that will improve your skiing much quicker than traditional ski school.
The goal of this group is to teach 100% control on easy (blue) and medium (red) slopes using the beginner snow plough technique. But also to introduce parallel turns and teach techniques to keep you safe on slopes you find difficult.
What you’ll learn:
Introduction to ski equipment and how to use it
What equipment you should choose and what to look out for
Maintaining balance
How to stand up after a fall
How to snowplough and control your speed
Snow plough turns and linking turns
Introduction to parallel turns
Beginner Plus Ski Camp
This camp is for confident novice skiers who want to really get into skiing. You should already be able to safely stop and make round snow plough turns on green and easy blue pistes. Perhaps you can already link turns at slow speed and skis may be parallel at the end of a turn on easy slopes.
The goal of this camp is to ensure you have 100% control over blue and red runs. And to ensure you are fluently skiing parallel on blues while staying safe on more difficult slopes.
What you’ll learn:
Perfecting linked snowplough turns
Confident parallel turns on easy slopes
Introduction to rhythmical, long, medium and short radius parallel turns
How to parallel turn on steeper ground
Intermediate Ski Camp
The intermediate camp is perfect for skiers who are confident on blues but want to ski more challenging slopes. You’ll already mostly ski parallel, but sometimes use snow plough to initiate turns or to stop. If steep slopes of icy conditions make you nervous then this camp is for you.
The goal of this camp is to get you skiing rhythmical parallel turns on difficult slopes, ensuring you have 100% control in any terrain including red, black and moguls.
What you’ll learn:
Perfecting linked parallel turns all over the mountain
Introduction to rhythmical, long, medium and short radius parallel turns on steep terrain
Introduction to carving turns
Advanced Ski Camp
If you are already a good skier but want to push onto the next level then the advanced camp is for you. It is for skiers who already ski technically well on blue and red trails and control their speed and rhythm on blacks, but who want to ski more challenging terrain with more style.
The primary goals of this camp are to be carving turns on medium slopes, and lay down rhythmical parallel turns in difficult terrain such as black pistes and moguls.
What you’ll learn:
Perfecting carving turns of long, medium and short radius
Introduction to race carving turns
Introduction to moguls
Introduction to off-piste
Expert Ski Camp
Already have good technique on all terrain and any snow conditions, but would like to improve? Then the Advanced Plus performance coaching is for you. You should enjoy the challenge of steep and difficult terrain and already be able to ski moguls and black diamond trails with confidence using carved turns.
The goal of the Advance Plus Ski Camp is to perfect your style. To ensure you have a solid race carving technique, that you are fluently skiing moguls and variable conditions off-piste.
