Advanced Ski Technique & Carving Training in the Alps

In private lessons we work on whatever you want to work on, at your pace, for a day or several. The Masterclass is a different thing: a closed program built on race methodology. Equipment assessment on day one, live radio in every technical block, daily kinematic review and one fixed objective running across all booked days. On top of that comes everything after the last day on snow, meaning five remote video analyses and a written plan for both piste and dryland. Put simply: private lessons are training on your terms, the Masterclass is a rebuild with follow-up.

A ski school course is built around a teaching progression delivered to a group, and for most ski holidays that is exactly the right format and the better value. The Masterclass is built around one skier and one objective: race methodology, live radio in every technical block, daily kinematic review, and a written plan that carries on after you go home. Two different jobs, and it is worth being honest about which one you are actually buying.

Yes, up to 4 participants. The base rate covers one person, and each additional person is a fixed extra fee. To make sure everyone gets the most out of it, we also require all members to be at a similarly advanced level. The pace of the clinic is not slowed down for mixed levels, that would defeat the point of this format.

Be honest with yourself before booking: this Masterclass assumes you already ski confidently in parallel on red and black pistes. If you are at that level and we both agree on day one that the format is not quite right for you after all, we end things there, and you only pay for the one day completed, not the full package. If you know you are not quite there yet, our Private Ski Lessons are the faster and better route there first.

Then you receive an additional training day the following season at no cost. Progress depends on many factors, your physical condition, snow conditions, your own effort, so we do not promise a specific outcome. What we do stand behind is giving you the time you need to get there.

Yes, within the limits of what can be judged on snow. Boot flex and ski radius we check on day one, and those two alone fix a surprising number of carving problems. Canting is a different matter: measuring it needs a laser alignment device, which lives in a bootfitter's workshop and not in a coach's rucksack. What we can do is watch you ski and tell you whether your alignment is genuinely worth investigating or whether the fault is technique. If it is worth it, we name a shop that can measure and adjust it properly.

Yes. At the end of your Masterclass you receive a bespoke training plan built directly from your video analysis, so you can keep working independently on your technique on piste. Alongside it comes the matching dryland part for the time away from the snow. If your level allows it and you are interested, we also build an off-piste component into your program and plan on request.

Completely flexible. We can meet you directly at your hotel, at the base station of the gondola, or at an agreed spot on the piste. We coordinate all the details before your arrival.

High-speed carving needs firm, grippy snow. If a day's conditions do not deliver that, we reschedule the technical blocks, switch pistes, or run an intensive video and theory session instead. The time you paid for is never lost.

A deposit secures your dates, and the balance is settled before the Masterclass begins. Cancellation is free of charge up to 14 days beforehand. Since every date is reserved exclusively for your group, we do ask for early notice if anything changes.
