Great Powder skiing in Val d’Isere

Sometimes you get good conditions and have to make the most of them.This is the recipe to follow:

First you have to have the good snow; then you have to have the good visibility to see it;then you have to be skiing with poeple who are prepared for a challenge and just love it. Mix together with some local knowledge of where to go and when to go there and then see what happens!

Not possible in a snowdome
Not possible in a snowdome

The winter starts for me tomorrow. I am running a course that trains race coaches at the Chillfactore in Manchester,  indoors at the snowdome. I will be running a course that qualifies successful candidates to coach children ski racing.

On Saturday I am running a series private group sessions with the Ski Club of Manchester, so that they can have their ski legs ready for the first snowfalls in Europe, www.scom.org.uk. This is just the beginning. How exciting.

TDC kick off our early season clinincs in Val d’isere We also run our own BASI prep courses and can arrange private sessions anywhere, it seems!
