Ski Buying Guide

We often get asked to recommend skis for the course, which can be tricky as it often down to individual taste. However, we do provide an equipment guide to students who are joining our gap courses, which is a good introduction to what’s out there. Have a look here.

We are running several all-inclusive training courses to prepare students for their Alpine Level 2 courses. Training Courses are being run in November (Tignes) and March (Courchevel). For more information click on our Mini-GAP Level 2.
