Ski School and Ski Instructor Courses

Ski Tip Videos

We have been thinking about creating a ski tips section for quite a while, we even had an all day coffee meeting to plan the best tips and and how we would shoot them. But during the meeting we ended up trading You Tube videos with each other of our favourite videos. A lightbulb came on above all our heads as we hit the 3rd round of coffees - why don't we post the videos we like on our site?

So, here you go. Here are the videos we love and use - we think they are really good - we hope you find them useful. Sorry about the silly ones that got in.....(they would have come from Ali). We will post more skiing related videos as we get nearer the season!

1. Choice of Euan Wright (Head Coach and Ski Instructor)

Video: Dry Land skiing by Jonny Moseley

Why? I love this video. I love his commitment to the bumps and training. An inspiration to us all.

2. Choice of Warren Hogben (Director and Ski Instructor)

Video: Learn to Ski (Short Turns)

Why? I found this when I was looking for some short turn examples for my coaching group. I love the guy's voice - so old school it is fantastic. They have even put some 80's synth music in the background - a real trip down memory lane for me. I still have my head band that I used to wear doing these drills (should I have mentioned that?).


3. Choice of Tom Saxlund (Director and Ski Instructor)

Video: Danny MacAskill - Inspired Bikes

Why? I know it should have been a skiing video but I had to get this one in. I really admire people who are at the top of their sport. The training he must have put in to make it look easy is just incredible. I can watch this video again and again. It always inspires me and pushes me to do better.

Performance Courses

Video: Explantion of our new Performance Courses - By Tom Saxlund

Why? I am really excited to be launching our new course in the Ski School. I see Performance Courses
as brining together our ski school and instructor course experience into a week of coaching
perfect for those Intermediate to Advanced Skiers looking to take the next step. Enjoy!

4. Choice of Matthew Cooke (Marketing Manager)

Video: New Generation in Verbier

Why? I was sent this video by Jake from our team in Verbier. I didn't ask him to do it - he just went and did it. I think it captures the team spirirt and the passion that our instructors have for skiing. Jake is part of our training team in Verbier, working in peak periods and training for his final exams in non-peak weeks. You won't find better instructors in Verbier.

5. Choice of Roy Henderson (BASI Trainer & New Generation Coach)

Video: Scottish White Water Kayaking

Why? This is me and the G2 team loving life on the water. I love skiing in the winter but in the summer I don't hibernate, not when there is so much to do!

5. Choice of Blair Aitken (BASI Trainer & New Generation Coach)

Video: Blair and Jimmy (Mountain Guide & New Generation Coach) touring in the Savoie

Why? There is nothing better than ski touring. Here is what we did: Day 1 - glacier traverse (20km day). Day 2 - Dito coulior (50+, ice) / lift access off piste. Day 3 - Piasganino Tour.
