Carving (Towards Parallel & Beyond)

Our performance courses are ideal for those who want to develop a specific aspect of their skiing.

Carving is very much at the forefront of skiing performance and modern skis are specifically designed to help you carve. However many people find it difficult to carve cleanly. The goal of this clinic is to develop your carving skills by focusing on the relationship between balance/pressure and edging (the amount that you tilt your skis).

Bumps (Parallel & Beyond)

Bump skiing can be great fun but can also be very hard work. The goal of this clinic is to help you develop more efficient & effective movements that help you to tackle the bumps with confidence. We will focus on the amount of movement required (range) the speed and timing of those movements (rate) so that you can match your movements to the terrain.

Variables (Parallel & Beyond)

Variable conditions can include everything from beautiful powder to crud, ice, breakable crust etc. The goal of this clinic is to develop your confidence in a variety of conditions by helping you to understand how to approach different terrain & snow both in terms of your technique and your tactics.
