Steep-Slope Skiing Day

A slope that catches your eye, a line you’d love to ski… This day is your chance to explore steep slopes or take your skiing to the next level, with attentive guidance and a tailored training plan.

We’ll take the time to work on precision in turns, choosing the right lines, and managing anxiety. I’ll choose the terrain based on the conditions and your skill level, so you can find your bearings and progress with confidence. The joy of a beautiful line is built one turn at a time.

Who is this outing intended for?

————————————————-

 

This day is designed for skiers who are comfortable off-piste, able to string together short turns, and control their speed in a variety of snow conditions. You may be looking to tackle your first slopes with a gradient of around 40° or refine your technique on steeper routes. Good physical fitness is required for the ascent, which sometimes involves walking with your skis strapped to your backpack. No prior experience on steep slopes is required for this introductory session: together, we’ll set a goal tailored to your experience and comfort level.

"Le rendez-vous se fait à l'aube pour analyser ensemble les dernières données nivologiques. Après une approche en peaux de phoque ou via les remontées mécaniques, nous rejoindrons un couloir ou une face adaptée aux conditions du jour.

Au programme :

  • Analyse du manteau neigeux : Apprendre à identifier la stabilité d'une pente raide.
  • Technique de montée : Utilisation efficace des crampons et du piolet en couloir.
  • Le virage sauté : Maîtriser l'ancrage et le pivotement dans l'axe de la pente.
  • Gestion de la sécurité : Installation d'un corps mort ou d'un rappel si nécessaire pour franchir une rimaye ou une zone délicate."
