Good to know
The course will be running continuously from Monday to Friday. Unless you are planning to take a day or two extra at either end of your trip, you should aim to arrive in resort the night before the course and depart either on a late evening Friday flight or Saturday flight.
We ski each day from 9.30am until 3.30pm and take a lunch break at approximately 12.30pm. We will be filming regularly and doing video analysis throughout the week. The videos will be reviewed and analysed most days at convenient times that don’t interfere with skiing.
For our group courses you must be at minimum a level 1 skier! You must be able to ski confidently down a steep blue run in any condition without guidance.
Please note: If you book onto a course and don’t meet the required minimum level to attend the course you will not be allowed to continue the course and will not be refunded.
