Skill level: Good intermediates/Advanced/Experts
Location: Kaprun. Kitzsteinhorn Glacier . A superb
glacier with skiing from 3100m – 2500m and regularly down
to 2000m. The terrain is varied with bumps, off piste and well groomed
pistes.
 Course
Content: If you want to ski well in all conditions you
must have a solid technical basis. The truth is, if the technical
skills are not automatic, your performance breaks down when the
conditions get more difficult (powder/bumps/steeps). These courses
focus specifically on your technique, then test it in the gates!
Not only can you make great strides forward in your skiing, but
the fun and excitement in the gates is exhilarating. The terrain
we use is generally quite easy, but the focus and intensity of these
courses allow skiers to make some terrific progress.
Technical: Mainly piste based, these courses will
move your skiing onto the next level. Fed up with mundane, uninspiring
instruction? Stuck at the same level and never improving? Our coaches
work on your technical skills on an individual basis in small groups
– it’s this attention to detail allied with regular
video analysis that makes the difference.
Bumps: We have run bump courses on other glaciers,
but Kaprun is by far the best, with a smooth progression in terms
of slope difficulty, allowing our students to make optimum progress.
Our instructors will develop your mogul skiing in a clear and easy
to understand way – giving you confidence and new skills,
making bump skiing easy and fun!
All Mountain/Powder: We can’t promise you
perfect powder, but there is a good chance you will find fresh snow
high in the Austrian Alps in late November/early December! These
courses are about enjoying and experiencing the whole mountain.
On piste, off piste, bumps, steeps – we take you everywhere
and show you how to deal with it!
Course Fee Only: £300
Hotel Mitteregger: (3 star) Half board and training course:
£589, Single supplement: £50
Additional costs; Flight to Saltzburg or Munich. Return
transfer to Kaprun 1.5hrs, Munich* 2.5hrs : £50
Ski Pass: 166 euros
*Please be aware that as it is a longer transfer
from Munich we will need to coordinate arrivals to ensure that full
minibuses go to and from Munich airport. We know that you’ll
be keen to get to resort as soon as possible but you may need to
wait at the airport for some length of time for other incoming flights
– until people start to book flights we won’t be aware
of how long this wait may be and won’t be able to guarantee
waiting time for you but we’ll do our best to minimise this
as much as possible. I would suggest that a flight arriving mid/late
afternoon would be best but please liaise with the UK sales office
before booking your flights.

La Grave Performance Course

Cost £550 – includes all day
coaching for 5 days and half board accommodation for 7 nights
Robin Kinnaird will be running an off-piste oriented
performance course in La Grave where we have previously run three
successful weeks with great skiing in a spectacular location.
Skill level: Good short radius
turns on red runs.
Course Content: Set on an awe inspiring mountain
this is not for the easily scared, sweeping glaciers and long couloirs
make for adventurous and exciting skiing. The coaching will take
place all day everyday during your stay. The on hill technical instruction
will maintain the high quality we strive for and will include Avalanche
Transceiver training. Although safety is paramount we will ensure
that you enjoy your “La Grave Experience”. We will also
ski in the resort of Deux Alpes which is 25 minutes away by car
or an easy ski over the back of La Grave summit - this also provides
us with a foul weather option.
