Off Piste Skiing Cinics Our 5 day off-piste clinics focus on doing a lot of skiing (because it's fun!) and along the way, blending in coaching and instruction from a guide and BASI ski instructer. Flexibility is the key - at times a more structured instructional session is appropriate and at others on the hoof coaching is better. Keeping it relaxed and fun, we think, is the way forward... What to expect Having a guide and an instructer gives the optimum balance of skills, from seeking out the best skiing which may be on a glacier, to avalanche awareness training, to expert tuition. Our unusually low ratios ensure quality coaching for everyone. You will come away from the week a better skier and more versed in avalanche safety. We split our clinics into intermediate and advanced so that everyone on the course is at a similar level and looking for similar things out of the clinic. If you have specific goals, let us know! You can expect to be skiing all day from first lift (legs allowing!) with some warm up runs to start with. Chamonix has truely world class off piste skiing. We will be skiing all around Chamonix using the best conditions available, this will include skiing on the glaciers of les Grands Montets and from the Aig du Midi (conditions allowing). Meet: Your first day is an unguided free warm up day. Your resort hosts will meet you Saturday evening to run through the plan for the week. We finish up on Friday after skiing and recommend you get a return flight on Saturday. Chalet Accommodation in Chamonix, we stay in one of our comfortable Adventure Base Chalets, literally 6 minutes walk from the town centre's restaurants and bars. Breakfast and packed lunch are included leaving the evenings free for you to explore the delights of Chamonix. Sample Itinerary Day 1 (sunday) Warm up day. Find your ski legs!

Kit List skis and poles Boots - these must fit and be comfortable. We feel it is best not to rent boots. Rather buy some and have them fitted professionally - this will make your week much more comfortable, fun and blister free! 'Fit' is more important than whether a boot is 'stiff enough' or not. Rucksack - 30l. with ski straps Waterbottle - not platypus type - they freeze and leak. Transciever, probe, shovel, harness, 1 screw gate karabiner sunglasses, goggles (2 pairs useful after a wipeout!), sunscreen, lip salve/block Normal skiwear, including spare gloves.
