 Poster: A snowHead
|
There are a group of us going to Meribel this year and 2 of us would like to take our skiing further in terms of skill and geographically. I'd say I'm an advanced skier and my friend is an advanced intermediate. He's fitter than me, my technique is better. All in all, we can both get around the mountains at the same speed and never tend to stop between top and bottom of any piste, except steep blacks and even then our rivalry usually drives us on to the bottom anyway!
This year we'd like to take ourselves properly off-piste and that means a guide and preferably one who can help us as an instructor too. I'm happy enough off-piste but lack the fluidity I have on piste. He'd like to get closer to my level and we figured if we were to improve our off-piste skiing, that would generally benefit his on piste skiing too.
Any tips then for suitable instructors/ guides based in Meribel? thanks.

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

Another recommendation for offpisteskiing, he's extremely well regarded. If he's not available you could try Ski Marmalade who are based in Meribel and will be happy to work with you on off-piste technique.

I know the guys at Parallel Lines well and they would be good to talk to. They have some guys who are particular off piste specialists, ask if Neil is available, he trains and assesses instructors in off piste skills.
