Kvaloya Senja

Kvaløya

We will again be offering a trip to the island of Kvaløya in Arctic Norway. This has been one of our favourite destinations for personal skiing for many years and we are keen to share this magnificent area. A ski touring trip to the island of Kvaløya, positioned close to Norway’s northern city of Tromsø, visits a unique set of mountains in the Arctic Circle.

Arnøya

Along side our other trips in the Arctic Circle of Norway we will also be visiting the island of Arnøya. The islands of Arnøya and Kågan have been on the Off Piste Performance radar for a long time, being visible from our accommodation in Oldervik. These islands are emerging as a remote and exploratory destination, and should be on any Norwegian devotees wish list.

La Grave

Off Piste Rover La Grave

Rather than having one set location the aim is to rove around the alps, sampling the best resorts on offer from year to year. But when visiting a new area sometimes the security of a well practiced routine is important, and in this case both Alison and James Thacker will be on hand to offer instruction and guiding. #OPProver

Ski Performance Scotland

These courses have been designed to make the most of the Scottish conditions and give mountaineers the option of accessing the same tuition at home in the UK.  The course has exactly the same ethos and focus of those run in Chamonix; to bring together like-minded people to develop their off-piste skiing.
