• Reading the terrain and aspects to find the best snow
• Quick transceiver search
Day 2 09:00 – 12.00
• Itinerary run if possible
• Discussing avalanche awareness and snowpack while on the move
• Tips for longer off piste routes where terrain changes and skiing must be adapted
Day 3 09:00 – 12.00
• Itineraries, couloirs and steeper terrain (if possible)
• Tactics rather than technique, including line choice and off-piste mountain skills
Course includes: flight, transfer, chalet accommodation, lessons, avalanche pack and lift pass.
Course requirements: Minimum New Generation level 6: “I am an advanced parallel skier that can ski all reds, and blacks as well, providing they’re not too steep or bumpy.”
Bookable on an individual basis but minimum lesson size is 4.
Option 2) Want to explore further afield?
Already happy skiing powder but would like to see what the rest of the mountain has to offer? Book a place on our Explorer Course

Day 1 09:00 – 12.00

• Tactics rather than technique, including line choice and off-piste mountain skills
• Video when conditions allow
• Snowpack, weather and avalanche awareness information
Day 3 09:00 – 12.00
• Option 1: Request day (if you enjoyed something you’ve done before, you can do something similar, like another itinerary, couloir or more steeps)
• Option 2: Introduction to Ski Touring (if the group all wants to try this and are happy to rent the specialist equipment)
• Option 3: A reverse Heli-Skiing trip from Lac du Chevril (each member of the group would have to pay an upgrade fee of €28 and this option is subject to weather and snow conditions)
Course includes: flight, transfer, chalet accommodation, lessons, avalanche pack and lift pass.

Bookable on an individual basis but minimum lesson size is 4.
