Ski or Snowboard Ability
You do not need
to be an expert skier or snowboarder to take either the 12 week SLT or the 4 week Basic Training programs but should be
at minimum an "intermediate" skier or rider... this means you are comfortable cruising blue runs (red runs in Europe) and keen to progress.
"Expect to laugh in the face of Double
Black Diamonds at the end of the course."
For keen novice skiers or snowboarders with a good fitness level, we can arrange pre-course training to get you up to the neccessary standard. Please contact us for information on this option.
