Testimonial

Having booked a skiing holiday to La Thuile my aim, to ensure I enjoyed my holiday to the max, was to improve both my skiing skills & confidence as following previous skiing lessons I was able to 'get myself down' a blue run and an easy red but with very little confidence, skill or speed. I found the Ski4Real website and following a conversation with Kim arranged 12 hours of 1:1 coaching with him. Given the opportunity I'd be back there now as it was great fun, informative and most importantly very successful as both my skills and confidence improved and I felt like a different person on the slopes which gave me a great sense of achievement at the end of my holiday. After my first session with Kim I felt very positive about the progress that I had made that day. I was feeling more confident in my own ability, had a better understanding of some of the basics and more importantly my skiing had already started to improve. I trusted Kim help me achieve my goals of improving my skiing skills and confidence and I looked forward to the remaining sessions. Skiing and chatting with Kim built my confidence and helped me to understand that everyone can have issues & insecurities when skiing. I learnt that it's about being equipped both mentally and technically to deal with them that provides the skier with confidence. Kim used a mixture of tools and techniques to help my confidence. He personalised the coaching using comparisons with my everyday life & activities, areas that I was already confident in. The tools and techniques he used were simple and easily remembered and he built on these each session so that at the end of the week they were embedded as a picture in my mind. They were a great help to me whilst skiing after our sessions to enable me to push myself and practice for the next day. I will continue to use these and build on them when I ski in the future. As with all good coaches Kim pushed me to my limits and encouraged me to improve. When things didn't go as well as I or he would have liked he was reassuring and able to help me understand what had gone wrong and how to correct it the next time. By building the trust and rapport with me I had very few qualms following Kim down a black run - I knew that although he was pushing me to my limits that day he had the confidence to take me on the slope and therefore I had the confidence to ski it. As my confidence grew so I learnt to enjoy myself more. It's such a great feeling as you find your rhythm on the slope and when you manage to ski on a black run for the first time there's a mixture of relief, sense of achievement and finally a feeling of euphoria (followed by a beer!). Kim encouraged me to think about my skiing and consider how best to deal with the conditions right from the moment I put my skis on. I thoroughly enjoyed my holiday and the time spent skiing with Kim. For me the real measure of my success was skiing black runs and managing to ski in some difficult weather conditions which I would never have attempted in the past. I know from my aching legs that I put in some hard work but I would never have accomplished my goals without Kim. I'm looking forward to being able to build on my skiing skills in the future and I would definitely return to Ski4Real to help with this. Kirsty McGregor Glasgow

Alpine Ski Coaching

Ski4real uses the positive aspects of your skiing and lead you to greater improvement and enjoyment

Our Courses consist of small compatible groups with the emphasis on learning and progression through enjoyment and intuitive coaching. Our coaching helps you focus on your own feelings providing the ultimate route to guaranteed performance.

Skiing is as much in the mind as

on the snow.

Using the positive aspects of your skiing we lead you to greater improvement and enjoyment.

We make extensive use of digital video, giving instant feedback on the mountain. This allows repeated retrial and encourages your improvement. A motion evaluation package provides later feedback, promoting further development. A personal DVD of your performance and action plan towards your next step is available.

Course Levels

In reality after the first lesson all skiers are improvers; the definitions we apply often create confusion and inhibit skiers. Each skier is an individual. So as we offer personalized coaching we prefer to discuss your individual needs and then suggest the correct course for you. Please telephone for a no pressure chat.
