Off-Piste

Journey into the world of off-piste skiing

Skills development for off-piste skiing

For skiers who want to get away from the pistes. Snoworks have revolutionised off-piste skiing helping 1000’s of skiers easily learn the skills for off-piste skiing. A combination of cutting edge teaching techniques combined with experiencing the great off-piste these areas have to offer.

“My skiing trips will never be the same again. I have skied in places I only dreamed of and now when I go up a chair which crosses an off piste area I look down and think I can ski that”

“Opened my eyes to what is possible. I thought off-piste was beyond my reach. Now, now armed with a few simple skills I have the confidence to tackle off-piste. My skiing holidays will never be the same again. You’ve introduced me to a whole new world”

What’s the difference between the Off-Piste Ski Courses and Off-Piste Backcountry Course?

Off-Piste Ski Course is half days with Snoworks instructors and Off-Piste Backcountry Course is full days with a combination of Snoworks instructors and local ski guides (depending on the resort) enabling you to ski much further away from the pistes.

Courses will be run both in the mornings and afternoons and may switch around midweek.
