Expert Instruction

The cornerstone of every ALLTRACKS course is the highest quality coaching. The fact that all our instructors are either Level 3 & 4 and examiners (in Canada) and Level 4 (in France) only tells you part of the story. Not only are they all exceptionally well qualified, but we place equal importance on their personality. Of course we want you to improve, but we also like to see you riding with a smile on your face too.

Backcountry Training

GET THE POWDER KNOWLEDGE. So many people progress in their ski or snowboard technique without gaining appropriate knowledge in riding off piste. We want to open your eyes to the joy of backcountry riding, but also to give an insight into the risks involved and how to prepare appropriately. Our Canadian courses include the official Canadian Avalanche Association (CAA) Avalanche Skills Training Level 1 (AST1) and also an exciting overnight backcountry ski tour. Our off piste courses in Val d’Isere include even more backcountry training and is the perfect course for those who really do want to further their mountain knowledge.

Fantastic! The AST Avalanche Course was very well organised and incredibly well taught. There was a good balance between avalanche tuition and being allowed to go for a ski as there was great powder that weekend. We were given tuition on skiing powder. It was a fascinating course and will be incredibly useful for ski touring.

ALL MOUNTAIN TRAINING

You will learn to ski with confidence & style on all terrain in all conditions. Many of our clients arrive being able to ski or snowboard competently on piste in good conditions, but when it comes to deep powder, moguls or steeper gradient, their technique and confidence suffers. The training aims to rectify this so that you can go on a tackle the whole mountain confidently.

1:1 PRIVATE SESSIONS

Benefit with your own private lessons. On our 11 week courses, you will receive some private tuition to work on the things particularly pertinent to you. It may be something you work to work on, or perhaps an area of technique your instructors have identified. Either way, it is an opportunity to take your riding to the next level. We also place a lot of emphasis on encouraging individual feedback too in order that you know what is going well and what can still be improved further.

ABILITY GROUPS

6-8 Per Instructor. Absolute Maximum. Never More. At ALLTRACKS, we make a firm, crystal clear commitment that we will never have more than 8 people per instructor. This is not an average or approximate figure – it is a guarantee. The benefits of being in a smaller group are obvious. Furthermore, because our courses have thankfully proved popular, we are usually able to have numerous ability groups on our programs. This allows you to ride with other people of a similar standard as you. We do not want people to feel too far out of their depth and under pressure to go where they are not comfortable. Similarly, we do not want to hold strong skiers and snowboarders back, and if you are already riding to a high standard, you will be pushed even further.

WELL STRUCTURED LESSONS

Considered & concise training sessions. Although we like to take a somewhat flexible approach in order to take into account the conditions and individual group ability and wants, our experience has taught us the most effective and enjoyable training strategy. Most days are broken into 2 distinct sessions. One will be a high tempo, high mileage lesson with feedback restricted to the end of the run and the other will be more deliberate, video analysis, working on specific drills and involve greater feedback. We always have training in the morning and afternoon.

WORLD CLASS RESORTS

Whistler, Canada & Val d’Isere, France. We know there are lots of good places to ride across the world but we wanted to select the very best in both North America & Europe. Both Whistler & Val d’Isere offer vast ski areas, diverse terrain, huge snowfall and vibrant village atmospheres.

ALLTRACKS IMPROVEMENT CAMPS

11 Week Improvement Courses

This is the ideal way to spend an extended time in the mountains, with maximum time to improve your skills. Although they can incorporate instrcutor qualifications, the majority of people taking the 11 week courses, do so with the primary aim of improving their own All Mountain Skiing or Snowboarding.
