Welcome to Ali Ross Skiing Clinics - ski courses with a difference ....

Ski courses by Ali Ross Skiing Clinics are definitely not traditional ski school.   Allow us to explain. Skiers arrive in the mountains with different aims. You may simply want to ski leisurely around the resort or you may seek greater challenges off-piste. All skiers, though, share one aspiration - they want to improve. You know you can achieve more, but feel stuck. The notorious "plateau" can happen at any stage - even World Cup racers experience it - and improvement seems frustratingly elusive. And one skiing course can seem like any other, whether you have skied in Europe, the USA, Canada or elsewhere.

Many traditional ski courses are based on set-piece sequential instruction. "First you do A, then B followed by C….". You may get some of these steps right, but then it typically all falls apart. In the Skiing Clinics, we seek to cure your skiing ills with a more radical approach - to show how you can learn to ski more effectively by rebuilding fundamental technical ideas, based on the concept of carving turns - the ski will turn you, if you know how to use it.

Nothing therefore changes from the most basic to the most advanced levels of the sport, if you learn what creates good skiing from the outset. Once you have understood the underlying technical concepts and have experimented with them in practice, what you do thereafter, with refinement, will take you almost anywhere you want to go in the mountains.
