 Poster: A snowHead

Anyone interested in bumps training say week of 6 or 13 of dec 08 in France..
Would be a good standard of skiing say basi L2 or SCGB purple/gold level
I am thinking if we can get a small group together we could hire a coach and have it tailored to exaclty what we want as well as being cheaper than going with someone like snoworks, etc.

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

A fly in the ointment might be the paucity of natural bumps that time of year! However there are some unnatural ones on the glacier in Tignes and you can always make your own (surprisingly doesn't take that long).

bump, have spoken with a BASI trainer in courcehvel and the week before christmas is very possible for some ISIA level prep training. This trainer is also putting on various training session weeks during the off season weeks pre season, early dec and jan so if anyone is interested please PM me you email address and i will start a mailing list. we have several seasonaires in the 3v's up for it along with a few british based bods and we should be able to determine what training we want and when depending on individuals needs.

I'm interested, but not sure what my plans will be for next season yet. If I can be there I will as I need all the help I can get with bumps - I have a lesson this weekend and I can feel the humiliation brewing...

stewart woodward, thanks, I'll see how Jane's knee is and whether she's up for skiing this weekend. This is her holiday more than mine, so I might not be able to get up to Tignes during the day. If I can make it I'll PM you tomorrow.

cheers

skimottaret - could probably do a weekend, but during the week won't be possible.

All, thanks for coming back to me..
Once the BASI course dates come out i will try to get a some proposed training weeks put together. Weeks and/or long weekends can work i recon as long as we have enough people to cover costs of the trainer.
This could tie up with the Les Arc race camp dates and perhaps some telemarking as well for light relief.

You know it makes sense.

I have a rough calendar for ISIA training in the Three Valleys, any comments?....
13th Dec 20hrs Overhall your Technique structuring a strong platform to take your skiing into the the season ahead
Terrain -would expect to work on piste at this time of year
11th Jan 20hrs Strengths and weaknesses in the fundamental elements (body management steering etc).
25th Jan 20hrs Moving into the Strands high Speed, Steeps Off-piste Variable Bumps if there are any but still focussing on fundamentals
1st Feb 20hrs Possibility of including Mountain Safety Course Training with Neil Milne who is a BASI assessor for the MS course
8th Feb 20hrs during one of these weeks. Very likely to do some gates, (small extra cost) to tie in with GS turns.
22nd Feb 20hrs Bumps shorts and steeps and Central Theme
29th Feb 20hrs General roundup whatever individuals need to focus on will be covered these weeks
1st March 20hrs Versatility and Adaptability
Cost £200 per 20 hrs minimum number of trainees is 5 for a course to run on any given week.
The number of training hours is slightly less than some other training courses. I believe in developing self-reliance and giving time for free-sking to avoid burn out overtraining and motivation loss. I will also be including Mental Rehearsal and Visualisation sessions and of course video feedback on and off the hill.
It would obviously be ideal if people could do all or most of the course however over the last two seasons I have run Gap programmes where people dropped in and out without any major issues.

beanie1, Izzy Milne BASI trainer in Courchevel. Go for the odd week if you can, the whole concept is to be modular to cater for part timers as opposed to seasonnaires.
