OPEN YOUR

MIND

Skis are now two-thirds shorter since all-mountain skis were introduced and as a result, far easier to turn. But that’s only the tip of the iceberg.

Skis aren’t only shorter, they’re wider too, preventing them from sinking in deep snow... hence the ‘all-mountain’ potential. They’re also more ‘waisted’ for easier carving on-piste and steering off-piste... where the full value of the all-mountain skiing skills, snow and mountain knowledge comes into play.

Since my week with Snoworks, I now make ‘curves’ instead of turns, focus on pushing and edging (and twisting!) skills, rather than worrying about the angle of the slope, the snow conditions and whether I’m doing the right thing!

At last, I am on my way to being able to ski how I’ve always wanted to... moving faster, more controlled and believe it or not, more relaxed too!

I have never skied so much of the mountain in my life – and this was a Piste Performance course...

I can’t wait for All-Terrain!!

To reserve your booking on an iSKI course, call 0844 543 0503 or visit www.snoworks.com for more information.

SALOMON TEST SKIS PROVING BIG HIT WITH SNOWORKS CLIENTS.

Now on all courses, Snoworks clients have access to a number of Salomon skis to test, including the ‘Lord’ for men and the ‘Lady’ (you guessed it) for women.

From Salomon’s ‘Freeski’ range, these two models are described as ‘big mountain skis combining solid edge grip and performance with flotation for off-piste’.

In fact, both Snoworks clients and instructors agreed these skis offered much more, exceeding expectations on-piste as well as in deep snow conditions... especially powder where they were ‘off the scale’!

Snoworks also has a few pairs of X-Wing Tornados to test, proving themselves as top performing all-mountain skis.

INTERMEDIATE SKIER AND FIRST TIME SNOWORKS CLIENT, MARIA MARCON, SHARES HER THOUGHTS AFTER A WEEK ON A SNOWORKS PISTE PERFORMANCE ISKI COURSE.

Forgive, rather than forget, the way you’ve probably learned to ski. Because, if

like I was, you are still talking yourself down every slope, then you’re tapping into knowledge carried forward from the last millennium.

According to our Snoworks instructor, Lee, ‘developing skills’ not ‘learning techniques’ is the gateway to skiing nirvana.

And despite my initial scepticism, after a week on a Snoworks Piste Performance course, I am now skiing without the voice in my head or my toes curling; and most importantly, skiing with renewed purpose and ambition, down slopes that once caused me to freeze with fear.

The all-mountain skiing revolution might sound like some sort of marketing ploy to get you to spend money on ski tuition you don’t need; but actually it’s much more profound than that.

GOODBYE TURNS, HELLO CURVES!

Today, we now have this knowledge, this experience... and at Snoworks we’ve distilled it into a skills-based teaching philosophy, proven extensively to knock the old movement-pattern techniques ‘right off the mountain’!

Rather than teach you any ‘techniques’, we teach an extensive, simple-to-follow, toolbox of skills instead, designed to take you and your skis into all terrains, down all slopes and – through our iSKI courses programme – pretty much anywhere on the mountain!

Snoworks Director Phil Smith is pioneering an all-mountain skiing revolution. Here he explains why.

FOR DECADES, SKIING PERFECT PARALLELS DOWN ANYTHING WAS EVERY SKIER’S DREAM... BUT ONLY A SELECT FEW EVER REALISED IT.

TODAY, ‘ALL-MOUNTAIN’ SKIING IS REVOLUTIONISING HOW WE SKI, HOW WE LEARN TO SKI AND WHERE WE SKI – YET MANY SKIERS REMAIN STUCK IN THE OLD PARALLEL UNIVERSE...

Despite nearly ten years since the short carving skis revolution, many skiers are still using out-dated skiing techniques designed for the old, long ‘pencil’ skis era – techniques from skiing’s equivalent ‘dark ages’ – before we knew what we were really supposed to be doing.

These past techniques are fine if you’re content skiing (ever busier) marked pistes, from one mountain restaurant to another. But if you want to ski efficiently, anywhere at anytime, maximising your potential, the time has come to bring your skiing into the 21st century and learn ‘all-mountain skills’ for ‘all-mountain skis’!!

IT’S TIME TO GO ALL-MOUNTAIN!

If a voice in your head is still telling you to, for example: ‘face downhill, plant your pole, stand up and sink down’, or when off-piste: ‘weight your skis evenly, bounce up and down and get a rhythm’, then you are using early ‘movement-pattern techniques’, and probably just ‘getting by’, missing out on much, much more than you realise.

But that’s ok... it’s not your fault!

These techniques have their roots in instruction methodology designed for less dynamic, ‘closed environment’ sports, such as swimming and athletics, for example.

With the best intentions, these same teaching principles were applied to skiing, but without the knowledge of the mountain environment or the

EXPERIENCED SKIER & SNOWORKS CLIENT, STEVE LEES, REFLECTS ON A SUPERB SNOWORKS ADVENTURE TO SKI CHILE’S STUNNING ‘PACIFIC RING OF FIRE’.

There we were, standing on the summit of Villiarica volcano, staring into the

earth’s bubbling mantle... with skis on our feet.

If someone had once told me I’d be skiing the 7 volcanoes of Chile’s ‘Pacific Ring of Fire’ in a few years time, I would have said they were crazy!

But here I was, having also just skinned 4 hours up to one of the

highest skiable volcanoes in the world. Words cannot describe how it felt.

My skiing experiences with Snoworks have always exceeded expectations, but this 14 day trip to Chile had been (literally) the icing on the cake!

The scenery is spectacular, the hospitality overwhelming, the culture utterly fascinating and so different, with the skiing in a class of its own.

Far from your average skiing holiday (and not one if you’re on a budget), this adventure is for those lucky enough to get the opportunity to experience some of the most far reaching places on earth!

If the skier inside you has a passion for exploration, I thoroughly

recommend a Snoworks Adventure. It truly is a trip of a lifetime.

Our new All-Terrain‘ Ski Safari’ in the Vanoise National Park, at the heart of the French Alps, has instantly become one of our most successful iSKI courses ever, leaving clients ‘buzzing’!

Based in the picturesque valley and village of Bozel, between two of the world’s largest ski areas – the Three Valleys and Paradiski – we visit different resorts throughout the week!

Resorts include: Courchevel, Méribel, Les Menuires and Val Thorens, Champagny, La Plagne, Les Arcs and Peisey-Vallandry, Pralognan and Valmorel – all these resorts between

just 5 and 40 minutes minibus ride from Bozel centre!!

The sheer scale of the skiing available in this area cannot be matched anywhere on the planet! If all this skiing wasn’t enough, at the other end of the Vanoise is also Tignes and Val d’Isère, with La Thuile and Saint Foy also on the target list!

‘LESS CARBON MORE SNOW, TRAIN’Snoworks is a ski course operator and not a dedicated package tour operator, so we are not contracted to any specific method of transport, leaving our clients with a range of travel options to choose from (except ADV Courses).

Snoworks would like to raise the profile of alternative methods of

transport other than flying, in an effort to promote lower carbon transport.

According to www.snowcarbon.co.uk taking the Ski Train to Courchevel, for example, uses 11.48kg of CO2 per person compared to 82.06kg flying, or 220.14kg driving (per car).

The Ski Train runs between December and April with prices starting from £149.00.

If you’re interested, ensure you book at least 3 months before departure as, not surprisingly, the Ski Train is becoming an increasingly popular means of travel!

START CHARGING THE CAMCORDER!

Emma retired from international ski racing in 2004 following a successful career competing in numerous World Cups, 6 World Championships and 4 Olympic Games.

Before retirement, she met Snoworks’ founding Director, Phil Smith, creating a formidable partnership, leading to their marriage in 2004.

Emma’s international ski racing experience and enthusiasm has been immensely beneficial to all Snoworks’ course programmes, particularly PRO.

Her recent appointment as Instructor-Trainer for the British Association of Snowsport Instructors further raises the profile of Snoworks.

Off the mountain, Emma can often be seen and heard commentating for Eurosport and was the BBC’s leading female commentator at the Winter Olympics in 2006.

Oh, and if you’re fortunate enough to get her as your iSKI course instructor – don’t worry, she loves hot chocolate stops too, you know!

SNOWORKS CO-DIRECTOR, EMMA CARRICK-ANDERSON, WAS BRITAIN’S FASTEST-EVER FEMALE SLALOM SKI RACER FOR OVER 13 YEARS...

Snoworks is also running weekend courses during the summer on snow-guaranteed glaciers, leaving Friday, back Monday evening!
