 Poster: A snowHead
|
I've only skied in the Rockies, but currently live in Brussels and am planning a week in the Alps. I hope to leave in the next few days and will be going solo.
I would love to find a way to spend the week skiing with a group of capability-matched skiers, accompanied by a guide/instructor. It seems I could EITHER take lessons OR join a guided group. What I would rather find is a blend of the two, but still in group form. Something less structured and more adventurous than traditional lessons (at least based on my experience with them in the US). A week spent doing a variety of things on a variety of off-piste terrain, where I could push myself and reach the next level.
Is this hard to find, especially given I would be solo?
I would rate myself as an advanced skier who can ski anything. I love steep. I have room to improve in moguls (and would like to).
Would love advice on where/how to find this kind of thing.

Hi,
I think the best advise would be to join an off-piste or backcountry week offered by one of the UK companies around the alps.
Cham has a number of setups offering this sort of package with guides or instructors.
I have some 'Backcountry' weeks planned for next season, what I have left this year is running some steep skiing camps in April.
Cheers

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

I was leaning toward cham; I figure if you can't find it there, you can't find it anywhere.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Have a look at the skiers lodge in La Grave. As far as i know they offer the kind of service you're looking for & whilst they're based in La Grave which has a big reputation they don't exclusively limit themselves to the immediate hill. http://www.skierslodge.com/
One problem you may find is that you're possibly leaving it a bit late to get a space with a group of the type you're looking for.

Check out www.snoworks.co.uk and see if they have any thing running - they don't do guiding but the instruction is top level
