The Off Piste Performance Clinic is the second step step in our progression from On Piste Performance, to Off Piste Perfection, through to complete Backcountry Freerider and leads on from where our Technical Performance Clinic finishes off. Starting with a recap of the essential elements that make up Perfect Snowboard Technique this course is designed to lead you from Piste to Off piste and onwards preparing you for the exciting Backcountry that awaits beyond.

The Off Piste Clinic is an advanced course designed for experienced Snowboarders of good intermediate level and above.

Great Freeriding is a combination of attuned technical performance and a creative ‘Artistic’ vision. The Off Piste Performance Clinics are designed to help you firstly understand how Off piste technique really works before helping you explore the possibilities offered by the natural terrain of the mountain.

Off piste riding requires a very different approach to that of cruising the groomed trails of the ski resort. Here within the untamed terrain of the mountain your technique must match perfectly the contours, shapes and consistency of the naturally sculpted mountain.
