Off the Mountain

You’ll be staying in centrally located appartments, with a Resort Manager to assist you through the course who’ll monitor your course and organize social events. You’ll receive Basecamp clothing, ski gear, and also get involved in the variety of the resort events on offer.

You will do an Avalanche course on the programme but there are no qualifications available on this course, just a lot of respect from your peers when they see you bombing it down the mountains.

Who is this course best suited to?

Anyone who wants to push their skiing up to the next level but does not want qualifications. It also is well suited to any seasonnaire who wants a ski development programme to accompany their job.


How good do you have to be at Skiing before the course?

On this course your skiing will not be assessed at any stage, but being able to ski red runs comfortably is a good starting point.

If you would like to head out to the resort before hand in order to have a week or two's skiing and dust off the cobwebs please speak to your course advisor, as this is something we can arrange.


If I want to work during the season will I have the time to do the course?

This performance course itinerary fits in well for people who are having seasons, and looking to make sure that they push their ability to the maximum level. The course consists of 4 coaching afternoons a week, with a lot of the training is about telling you what you need to focus on in your own time. This not only brings the cost down, but also means that the course is suitable for those working out in resort.


What if I realize I want to become a ski instructor, and get the qualifications?

Having completed this course you can expect your skiing to be at a very high level, so will be well placed to go on and take your instructor qualifications at a later date, and in time for your next season. The Basecamp team will be able to point you in the right direction with this.


What if I'm travelling on my own?

The majority of people will do this course as solo travellers. There is a large Basecamp community in resort, and your Resort Manager will make sure you're quickly introduced to everyone
