Off Piste Introduction
Aimed at skiers looking to venture off the beaten track for the first time, or with limited experience off-piste.
|
|
Want to start leaving tracks in the powder?
Keen to leave the crowded pistes behind?
This is the week for you...
With 6 full days of instruction & guiding we will cover the skiing skills needed to survive & have fun off piste. In addition we will look at avalanche safety & rescue procedure, and hopefully begin to understand where the best snow might be!
This week is mostly 'gravity-assisted' ie we will use lifts to go uphill & ski down - however to access the best snow we may do some short sections of walking/skating.
The ski area: From our base in Brides-les-Bains we have lift access to Meribel, at the heart of the 3 Valleys lift system. This area has a multitude of great off-piste, from very gentle to very steep, and is perfect for getting used to the variety of conditions encountered off piste.
