Freeride

The focus of this week will be to get as much mileage in as possible, with coaching "on-the-hoof" as we go.  Couloirs, steeps, jumps, the sky is the limit...open up the mountain as your personal playground!
This week will be 'gravity-assisted' ie we will use the lift systems as much as possible to maximise ski time. We may do some hiking/skating/poling to access the best snow & descents. Ski-touring equipment is not mandatory for this course.

The ski areas:

Chamonix is synonymous with off piste skiing, from the Brevent, home of early Freeride competitions to the Grands Montets, made famous in the classic Blizzard of Aahhs ski movie. If the weather is bad we can also seek out shelter & better conditions with a short drive and Courmayeur, Verbier and much more are only an hour away...
