Piste Development courses with Derek Tate & Shona Tate
The Course
These development courses are specifically aimed at helping YOU to be the best skier you can be. There can be many reasons why you struggle to ski as effectively as you possibly should. And this can impact on your ability to learn and improve your performance. We will help you to develop your skiing by giving you the knowledge and then selecting the best drills and strategies to help you become more skilful. Whether you need to learn a new movement pattern (motor learning), block bad habits or make your performance stronger you will gain a greater understanding of how to train and become better.
Video analysis will be used to support the learning process.

Is this course for you?
These courses are suitable for those who are able to ski most groomed runs in some form or another.
Piste Improver
Piste skiers who have taken time to develop onto most runs but have not yet mastered the control on varying degrees of slopes and textures of snow. Confidence still needs to be built through practicing a range of tactical skills so that any groomed slope is achievable at the speed that suits you.
WE ALSO RUN OTHER SUITABLE COURSES FOR PISTE MASTER LEVEL - Off Piste Improver, Master the Bumps, Find Ur Flow, 3 Day Off Piste Improver, 3 Day All Terrain and Touring Courses.
The courses can be done stand alone or integrated into a seasonal programme for you.
