Off Piste Skiing and Ski Touring
There is so much more to skiing than crowded lifts and busy pistes. This is skiing for people who love wild open spaces, and want to be in the mountains. Most skiers have the skills to go further away from the crowds than they imagine. With some expert coaching and careful guidance to take you to the best venues we can build your skills and boost your confidence. With the right equipment and essential instruction, we offer so much more than simply a guided experience. We?re committed to setting you free with the skills you need to carve fresh tracks in the mountains. Each course is run by IFMGA British Mountain Guides or aspirants, but more than that, they are all experienced ski coaches too.
