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.
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.
Chamonix Off Piste & Touring Skills
Ski Performance for Mountaineers
This course has been running since 2007 with increasing popularity every season. It aims to bring together like-minded people to develop their off-piste performance. You will be given simple yet effective tools to ski ice, bumps, powder, chopped up powder and whatever other snow we come across in the off-piste.
