•	If you can 'get about' off-piste but are frustrated by some snow types and slopes and are fed-up with too many 'head-plants' then this is the week for you!
•	Easy access throughout the 'Portes du Soleil' ski area gives us a vast range of slopes and snows to go at – plenty of powder bowls, tree skiing, gullies and steeps.
•	5 x half days coaching (within 6 days skiing) in off-piste skills and techniques with plenty of free skiing.
•	Safety equipment (transceivers, etc.) will be needed for this week – full details in the Dossier.
•	Our chosen hotel provides a very convenient base – ski almost to the door and it's just 50m to the chairlift! The hotel also offers excellent food!
