Ski technique courses and camps in Tirol
With state-certified ski instructors and professional trainers
Why should you actually attend a ski technique training?
Even though it’s hard to believe with the amount of people on the Tyrolean slopes, skiing is an extremely technical sport. Movements must be automated, dynamic and fast. There is no time for reflection. Once you leave the slope, the whole thing becomes even more complex. There is also a choppy ground, in deep snow the concrete counter support of a slope is missing, and the conditions can change from one meter to the next. We’re not even talking about broken harsch here.
However, it is precisely because of the busy slopes that many long for the open terrain. Be it for off-piste skiing in the area, or on a solitary ski tour. However, in order to make skiing in the backcountry fun over the long term, a certain level of skiing technique is required. However, these must first be thoroughly acquired. The basics have to fit. Under professional guidance, you can learn just this basis much faster and more profoundly.
In further consequence it is then of course also about the style. Once you have reached a certain level of safety and skill, you naturally want to cut a good figure on your skis. It can be about bringing your hips closer to the ground when carving turns, flying dynamically around the turn in powder, or taking every little jump with style.
In our various ski technique courses in Tyrol, however, we deal first and foremost with the basics. First safety, then fun and only then do the advanced skiers get to work on their desired goals in private sessions with our state-certified ski instructors and trainers.
Can you ever ski well enough? Everyone must answer this question individually for themselves. As a general rule, however, we would say no. Getting down is only a small part of the whole. There is always room for improvement. But that’s exactly what makes this sport so special: In addition to nature, landscape and endless potential for discovery, you can also spend a lifetime working on yourself and your own technical skills.
