 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi
My 15 yo is a very different skier to me, he is confident on a Red, loves the challenge of a Black, and he is looking for new challenges on skis, be it freestyle, slalom, off piste or something else.
We are in Schladming for Feb half term and will have a hire car and Amade region ski pass and I am looking for something for him to get his teeth into. Very happy to pay for an instructor / guide for a day or two to introduce him safely to a new challenge.
Hopl in Schladming advertise that they do Theme Days on a Wed afternoon, but can't tell me until that week if or what they will be doing. Google finds a few other options, but very difficult to find details.
Ideas, options, experiences welcomed?
Thanks very much
Kev

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Just get hi to the park at Planai!
There are a few ways to go down with a verying level of difficulty.
Flachau Winkl also has a freeski school ( http://www.absolutschool.at/en/home ), so that might be an option too (about 25min in a car from Schladming).
There are lots of off piste opportunities but this might be another kettle of fish really!

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

The bit at top of Flachauwinkel is a good introduction to off piste and there's a few jumps and stuff near the same area

@KevWal, is he in to anything racy? Reiteralm is where a lot of the pros train. Some of Jnr's (like yours he's 15) ski club are heading out for a training camp, we're just working out whether we can head over there too.

Hi Hammerite / all
Yes he would love to do some race stuff, but not being part of a group how does he get into it? Same really with off piste and free style, finding the right group or instuctor to get him started seems to be difficult.
Thanks for the Absolute link Flangesax, I have been talking with Florian of freestyle.at who also seems to be involved with Absolut, some possible options there.
Cheers
Kev
