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.
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.
