Chasseur, No we don't run race training in resort as it is a bit specialised and requires a lot of kit... We do some intro days at Hemel which are a laugh with markers and stubbies. If you are after masters race SL or GS training I would drop a PM to Philbo , he is running gates training in Tignes and Pila this season, tell him Scott sent you...

skimottaret, I think proper race level training would be too much. Technical training to generally improve position/control and some "fun" racing would probably be about the limit, in spite of a competitive streak. Might look into the Hemel thing - only 45 minutes away, so not a drama getting there. Thanks.

Chasseur, we tend to run those days in the off season when it is quieter on the slope, everyone tends to get really into it and the day flies by...

I noticed GB does this with Interski. Looks great fun, but not cheap.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

skimottaret, you need to get your feet further from the gates, you're 'squeezing' your body up at the gate and that's blocking your skis from working properly.

Philbo, yup, in an effort to stay tight I was pinching the gates, hoping to do better and get some bigger angles in a couple weeks....

Not sure what a suicide SL (slalom) is, but that GS looks mighty fun

Looks such fun, I'd love to have a go! I bet it's one of those things where people like me would think I'm in some sort of racing crouch but the reality is way off..
Brilliant photos/vids!

another corking day of sunshine and grippy pistes, with only us in the training lane we were able to set a big fast but turny course....
