What's the difference between the Off Piste and Backcountry Courses? Off Piste courses are half days with Snoworks instructors and Backcountry Courses are full days either with Snoworks instructors, or a combination of Snoworks instructors and local ski guides (depending on the resort). Some Backcountry courses use ski touring equipment to access routes.
Are lift passes included in your course fees? No. Please purchase these when you arrive in resort. The one exception is Hintertux – lift passes are included in the price.
I can't come out for the full week, can I still join a course? Yes. We can offer you shorter durations from Monday to Friday and the cost will be pro rata.
