Description
This course is ideal for you if you want to improve your skiing skills on steep sections. You will get valuable tips from an experienced coach and you can check your progress via video analysis.
At 8:30 you meet your instructor at the First valley station in Grindelwald. From 9:00 to 11:30 you will be taught carving. In carving, you make your turns entirely on the steel edges of the ski instead of drifting through the turns. Compared to classic alpine skiing, this means much less braking and you take the full momentum with you. This makes skiing even more fun, while you leave clear tracks in the snow

- Requirement: sporty and safe skier on flatter slopes, speed control
