A great way to take a short career break, ski on and off-piste in the world's finest ski resort and receive the best ski tuition available to further your performance. This course is best suited to those who do not have enough time to do the classic 10 week course and for those looking to further their performance in all areas of the mountain.

Skiing standard:
We can cater for a large range of abilities since there are many groups on the course. Because of this, if you are already a good skier your level will be pushed with other good skiers around you. Our trainers train and assess to the highest levels in BASI so there is no ceiling to your improvement. Similarly if you are an inexperienced skier or rider you will be in a group with similar abilities so your needs will be met in this respect too.
