From Avoriaz Alpine Ski School:
Join our experienced instructors for a multi-day off-piste clinic helping you safely explore the mountains and improve your skills and knowledge of backcountry skiing.
This is a 3-day performance clinic for advanced skiers. You must be competent on black runs and have a minimum of 8-10 weeks of skiing experience and be in good physical condition.
This course includes an introduction to ski-touring and you are not expected to have previous experience of this, although there will be plenty to learn even if you have been touring a few times before.
Open to confident black run skiers with 8-10 week of skiing experience. So if that’s you, what are you waiting for? The course offers the opportunity to learn one of the greatest feelings this planet has to offer: powder skiing!
The course is about expanding your playground away from the crowds on the pistes.
And so the off piste course includes but is not limited to:
- Forecasting and planning
- Group management
- Snowpack analysis
- Avalanche Bulletins
- Navigation, line choice and route planning
- Tuition on how safety equipment works
- Emergency procedures
- Ski touring/split boarding
