Development
Clinics
Our Development Clinics are four-hour sessions which focus on particular aspects of your skiing skills base to enable you to ski the whole mountain with flair. We will work in depth on a tightly defined skiing skillset that varies each month to ensure long term, all round, lasting improvements to your skiing. If you are the type of person who feels that "good" isn't good enough, these clinics are for you!

Steering
We will look at the different ways we can steer our skis by blending together the steering elements while being able to separate what your legs are doing from your upper body. Being able to steer the skis in different ways is a very useful skill to possess and is key to good mogul and steeps skiing as well as high performance turns on piste.
July
Carving
When carving your turns the best way to change how quickly you turn is to increase or decrease the angle that you tip your skis on to their edges. In this clinic we will develop skills for increasing your angles for high performance carved turns. We'll focus on actively piloting the skis and setting an edge. Quality carving needs the skier to be able to constantly adjust the edge angles.
September
Balance
Dynamic Balance is key to effective skiing. In this clinic we will work on getting you comfortable being in balance while moving side to side, allowing your skis to tip onto their edges further away from your body as well as improving your balance along the length of your skis to help improve speed control and reduce skidding.
October
Building Blocks
The fundamentals, or building blocks, of skiing are the foundations on which all good skiing is built. In this clinic we will develop a clear understanding of how skiing works and the movements we make by following the progression used by ski instructors when they teach skiing.
November
Steep Terrain
To get you more confident skiing black terrain and beyond we will work on the underlying skills for short turns as well as showing you some techniques that will make skiing steeps fun instead of scary!
Monthly Training Focus
Who are they for?
Development Clinics are for skiers who are level 7, 8, 9 or 10 on our ability scale. L4, 5 or 6 skiers check out our Improver clinics and confident L6 skiers check out our Tune-Up clinics.
​
Typical Development clinic
Based on two 90-minute coaching sessions on snow with a coffee/lunch break midday. During each session we will use a number of drills and exercises to focus in detail of a specific aspect of your ski performance as highlighted in the monthly programme.

​
• Group size of 6 People Max
• Individual feedback
• Video analysis

​
Minimum Numbers
Should a Development clinic have only one person booked on it we will run the course as an extended private session consisting of a 90 min session on the slope followed by video review and optional practice time on your own afterwards. We find that with only one person a full day of one on one coaching sessions are too intense and counterproductive. Your slope passes will remain valid for the full 4 hours and you can use the remaining time to practice and consolidate the mornings coaching on your own.
Provide Your Own Pass
Big savings on Private Lessons and Clinics
For regular clients and users of the Snow Centre, you can become an annual member and purchase discounted ski passes at much lower cost than we can provide them to you. On any of our Snow sessions inside at the Snow Centre you can select the "Provide Your Own Pass" option and we will pass all of the savings back to you.
