Intensive Kick Turn Course
We’ve all been there: the slope is steep, the snow is hard, your skins are slipping, and you have to make a kick turn right where it’s especially uncomfortable. Grrrr, what a nightmare. In this course, we’ll focus on perfecting your kick turn technique under professional guidance.
In this one-day ski touring course, we’ll focus on the optimal technique for kick turns. This course is designed for beginners (so you don’t pick up bad habits right from the start) and for advanced skiers (to correct movements that have often become ingrained incorrectly).
The day begins with a detailed movement analysis and instructions on how to perform an ideal kick turn. Afterward, we’ll practice and refine our technique together.
