18 Jan 2025 -> Chalet Hubert – £1402pp ( twin / double)
You’ve been skiing or snowboarding for quite a while now and you feel you are ready. You’ve dabbled a bit in going off the piste but feel it’s time to do it properly!
You should be a confident skier or snowboarder and black runs shouldn’t be any real worry to you.
“Anybody can get down a black run, but you need to be actually able to ski or snowboard down it”
There are 2 half days and 3 full days booked with our instructors / guides.
They will take us through basic techniques, take us to the ‘side country’ and as the week progresses we’ll get further and further away from the crowds.
A brilliant, confidence building week for those wanting to progress, heading away from the pistes is what everybody should aspire to and this is your chance …
