This trip is aimed at mid-higher intermediate riders who have done 3-10 weeks on snow.
You can turn on both your toe and heel edge consistently and confidently ride all Greens, Blues, Red and some Black runs. Tough conditions slow you down and affect your technique. You have done some easy, open off-piste. Does this sound like you? If so, come join us for a sick week in the 3 Valleys.
We will ride all-terrain from piste to powder with some very basic freestyle thrown in for good measure!
