PERFORMANCE SKI COACHING IN CHAMONIX

Its not ski school how many people would imagine it. What we do at All Mountain Performance is very different to a typical ski school experience.

Our ski coaching can dramaticaly improve a skier's level by developing all aspects of their performance in a variety of conditions and terrain. By use of  more modern ski coaching methods involving not only development of skiing technique but also improving tactical, physical and psycological skills. In fact these 4 aspects of  performance are aparent in  every sport. More often than not, ski schools and ski instructors in the past have focused very much on a technique focused aproach. which actually is only a quarter of an over all performance.

Imagine these four aspects of  performance in sport.

                                Technique, Tactical, Psycological, physical.  

Now imagine your skiing performance having developed all 4 aspects through stratigically designed exercises and powerfull performance enhancing drills.

It is the job of a good ski coach to be able to quickly identify which performance aspect needs develping the most in any given situation or task. For example, let's take someone who is working on improving their performance skiing in the bumps.  Let's say that the skier's bumps technique is already pretty good, as are their  tactical skills. The skier is also not so scared of the bumps, so, psycologicaly is not having trouble - but, finding it hard when the bumps become close together. The pupil is showing that the trouble he/she is having, lies in the fact that they are finding it hard to make fast, agile movements.

In this situation, a good ski coach will work on improving the physical performance aspect as it is the weakest one of the four aspects, and more specifically to bumps skiing, quick agile movements will need to be developed in short turns. This can be done outside of bumps on a smooth, not-too-difficult run before reaplying the overall performance back to the bumps.

The result is wow!  25% better bumps skiing in one quick lesson!

It may be that one of the other of the four aspects may need developing, and as we ski around the mountain, your ski coach will improve your skiing performance, providing you with just the right information at just the right time.

Modern ski coaching has no boundries or limits. The possibilities for your improvment are endless as there are so many ways you can improve. Its not all technique!

Why Chamonix for our off piste ski clinics and private lessons.

Chamonix has the reputation for being the world capital of off piste and freeride skiing. There are 6  extensive ski areas offering a huge amount of easy to acess off piste skiing routes. Chamonix off piste is good for all levels of off piste skier from powder novice to powder to expert rider. With some of the highest altitude skiing in Europe providing a superb snow record. Chamonix the ideal place for us to run our off piste / all mountain ski courses and clinics

Each Chamonix ski area offers a different type of terrain. Le Brevent and la Flegere are great for couloirs and bowl skiing for all levels of off piste skier. The variety of terrain the ski area  offers makes this a favorite area on our ski courses.

Further up the Chamonix valley Les Grands Montets is a massive mountain with undoubtedly some of the best skiing in the world .The Grands Montets provides high north facing slopes and very easy to access off piste skiing which is why it is where famous freeriders hang out.  Glaciers on the upper sections lead down to wide open bowl skiing with steeps and couloirs. The tree skiing and in-to valley couloirs are also great for expert skiers. At the Grands Montets we can often ski 10000 vertical meters per day on our expert and freeeride ski courses. A great lift system opens up 3 sides to this amazing ski mountain.

Le Tour at the high end of the Chamonix valley is great for all levels on piste and off piste. The front side is easy terrain for beginner off piste skiers. This is an ideal place for us to take intermediate level ski courses on the first couple of days of the course with the back side offering some very nice terrain for more advanced and expert skiing.

The Aiguile du Midi lift takes skiers and alpinists from Chamonix town to an impressive altitude of 3842 meters. This is not a ski area for piste skiing. All the runs are off piste and on a glacier making the skiing more serious. A high mountain guide is advised for this.

Les Houches is situated as at the lower end of the Chamonix valley and offers more gentle terrain than the rest of the valley. There are many tree-lined pistes and some off piste skiing to be found in our secret spots. Les Houches is also where the mens world cup combined event, The Kandahar, is held. Some of the best skiers in the world race in downhill and slalom over a 2 day event. This is a great place to ski in the Chamonix valley when the weather is bad as the slopes are shelterd by pine trees.

Chamonix is just 1 hour drive from Geneva airport. Many companies fly into Geneva airport from most major UK airports.
