 Poster: A snowHead

I really fancy a week or two of ski coaching in Europe between early October and 31/12/2013. Any ideas/recommendations? I would be interested in bumps, racing(to date I have no experience in ski racing) or freestyle coaching. Thanks.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Can highly recommend the Snoworks courses...just finished two weeks Race Training ( Eurotest ) and I learnt a lot in a fun environment.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

spud, do you have much of a background in racing? What kit did you need? Definitely interested in something like that.
How does the eurotest compare to the TT for someone without a racing background? I wouldnt mind if I never pass either because the training would be great for your personal skiing in any case.

Recommend Skivolution based at Kaprun Nov/Dec time on Kitzsteinhorn glacier - their instructors are very good and there are a range of courses offered.

I haven't a huge amount of experience in Racing... just weekly GS and Slalom races when working in resort.
Eurotest is GS and TT is slalom.
The best thing to do is email Emma at Snoworks and let her know your background and ability...that's what I did. She then recommends what course would suit you. Race Carve and Eurotest are both good.
You just need GS skis..., helmet and your normal ski gear. Some of us trained in GS suits which really helped with the padding. If you don't have one, get an under armour jersey with plenty of padding on the arms. We all got serious bruising from hitting the gates. Re skis... some rented in resort and were good quality and serviced well. There was a mixture of skis used... from 19 radius to 27m radius. I used a pair of Womens FIS in 178 and R 23 which were plenty stiff enough and perfect for learning new skills on.
The guys at snoworks are great and really helpful. You'll have fun and learn a lot.

Elston, Phil Brown (Impulse) is planning another Tignes 4 day weekend race/tuneup camp early December in Tignes. Was mighty fine last year and not too much of a time commitment...

spud, renting could be good. As I really cannot justify another pair for skis just yet!
under a new name, countryman thanks for the recommendations.
