Off Piste Performance Reviews 

Great course and some really good feedback and homework. Many thanks Dee.

Wonderful instruction! Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to improve their skiing.

This was such a great course with a wide range of skills taught, enabling us to deal with all sorts of terrain and conditions. I felt more confident and able as the course progressed, with improved awareness, decision making and energy. This course is a great investment for skiers wishing to enhance their skills on and off piste.

Insightful and thoughtful tuition from Gillian. I learnt loads and can’t wait to get out again!

Ace learning with like minded people and great instructors

Joined the ‘Introduction to Ski Touring’ for the weekend and I have to say it exceeded my expectations. After two days on the course I am more confident off piste and I have new skills that I can use to explore the mountains on ski.
I heard about Ski Performance courses from a friend in UK and I’m very happy I’ve joined one of the courses. Now I’m planning to do more stuff and join other classes to learn new skills and spent more time in the mountains on ski.

Cheers!

An amazing informative week of skiing with two great instructors. Superb skills course improved my off piste skills immeasurably and I feel the mountain instruction has empowered me to create safe journeys in the hills. Thanks both.

Thanks James ! For all that info about avalanche safety it’s was really informative and interesting !!! Good job !

I had an excellent week skiing with Alison and Rob. They gave us a great mix of ski coaching and mountain skills with clear instruction covering both what to do and why, while also freely sharing their knowledge and experience.
Would thoroughly recommend and will be looking to book another course again soon.

Such a great course, from the well thought out approach to the knowledge, experience and teaching skills of the instructors, Alison and Rob. I not only learned a lot and improved my off-piste skiing significantly but I also had a great time touring the mountains and seeing the amazing scenery.

Had an avalanche awareness day with James at the end of Jan this year. Found it really useful to brush up on rescue skills and also get advice on how to be more organised and efficient when rescuing. Found out loads about what was going on with the snow pack too. Would recommend to anyone no matter what your level

Off Piste Performance is excellent! This week I was in a group with Dee, she was able to give clear and helpful instruction both to the whole group and on an individual level.
Dee was good company, very friendly and also patient with us and was happy to explain the techniques in detail.
I had a very good week and came away with many more skiing skills so that I feel I can now face whatever the slopes have to offer!

A well thought out and positive training experience- we all improved greatly during the week - and Ali was great at giving each of us individual tips without detracting from the overall group lesson. I can’t believe how much I improved in such a short space of time . The advice was practical and easy to remember . Would definitely recommend.

Great course. Alison really personalises the instruction and ensures each individual in the group get direct feedback and finds what works for them.

Alison is every bit as good as her mythical reputation suggests. She's able to distil complex instructions into simple tips, delivered in an incremental way, and in a manner that is both positive and appropriate to the needs of each individual on the course. Sincerest thanks, I look forward to coming back for more off-piste ski instruction in the future!

I would definitely recommend Alison and Off Piste Performance.

This was a real breakthrough in skiing steep terrain, in control through very easy adjustments to my existing technique.

Money well spent, always more to learn and hopefully I'll return for more coaching from Alison and colleagues.

I have just returned from an excellent week with James in Chamonix. Although the snow was not as good as we would have liked we made every use of the opportunities available to us on the Grand Montets, The Valley Blanche from Chamonix and from Italy, plus a day in Courmayeur and in Le Tour. It was particularly spectacular skinning up into the upper part of the glacier on the Italian side between the Tour Ronde and Grand Capucin.

James has a very thoughtful and friendly approach and I can thoroughly recommend him as the guide for your next adventure

Just spent an excellent week with Off Piste Performance and Jonny Baird Mountain Guide. A challenging week as there had been no new snow for ages but Jonny was able to find some excellent conditions. It was certainly "Earn your Turns" as we were touring to get to less frequented areas but it was certainly worth the extra effort. Many thanks Alan

Amazing 3 mornings with Alison, I learned loads! Two days after I skied a steep couloir from the bel oiseau, which I didn't have the skill or confidence for before. Felt really happy and in control doing the hardest ski I've ever done, all thanks to off piste performance. Thanks for all your advice!

James has great snowpack and avalanche knowledge with, just as importantly, an easy manner for sharing it. Can't recommend the avalanche awareness course highly enough!
