Flaine Ski Clinic

Ahh, the flakes are beginning to fly. Taste the adventure.  We live for the memories.  You’re not just participating in a sport ‑ you’re part of a family.  Flaine is what it has always been, friendly, social and above all, personal.  Where else in the Alps can you find the deepest, driest snow and no lift lines?  The champagne powder hits Flaine with a vengeance, it’s stormzilla or a snowpocalypse!  Come live the dream, floating on snow as light as air, limitless options for long demanding descents.  Flaine’s unmatched beauty dishes out expansive bowls, tree skiing and perfect pitch.  It’s easy to put a pound sign on tube tickets, tea and scones, but the elation of laying down fresh tracks and letting the powder blast you in the face is priceless. 

Staying piste side is one of snowsport’s greatest luxuries.  Booting up next to the fire, skipping the traffic and walking home from the Perdrix Noire in your ski boots after a stellar evening of après ski. 

Sure you’re good, but there’s always one more level, that highest plateau where the real rippers reside.  Getting there is only a little fitness but a lot of technique.  After a few lessons with me, your turns will be smooth and seamless, no jolts, jumps or hitches  –  just an effortless low impact flow over all types of snow and terrain  –  like a crystal blue stream flowing down a mountainside.  Let’s train the smartest and style the hell out of it.  Break through your final and toughest barrier going from a great skier to an elite skier.  Let’s challenge your objectives, motivations and attitudes working to establish an overall success strategy towards your personal growth in pursuit of that next level.

In my 40 years of snowsport teaching and 60 years of living, I’ve accumulated quite a lot of knowledge and experience.  Let me impart some of the lessons I’ve learned the hard way so you don’t have to learn the lesson anew.  Come and use me as your personal invaluable resource helping you to enjoy the blending of gravity, snow conditions, weather, equipment, physical condition and emotions.  Get in early, hit it hard in the fresh, take a long lunch.  December and January are the sweetest time of the year.  It’s when all things are possible.  Come and submerge yourself in an intensive accelerated learning program.  Safety fun technique comprises the ski excellent trifecta.  “Stand up tall and you won’t fall.”  With efficient body alignment you use your skeleton, not your muscles or equipment, for support.  Lessons and improvement go hand in glove so come and enjoy my white glove service at every turn.

This is your personal invitation to come and join me as the drinks start flowing cold and the coals start burning hot.

I’ll look for you from the lifts.  You’ll be the one with the technique everyone is admiring!
