La Clusaz 5-day guided freeride ski tour

Come with me on this awesome 5-day off-piste skiing & freeriding program in la Clusaz. During this trip our objectives will be to learn:

• how to improve your freeride skiing technics;

• how to evaluate and deal with risks when doing off-piste skiing;

• how to use an avalanche transceiver, a shovel and probe.

Aside from learning techniques, we will enjoy great powder snow in area where nobody goes.

Please find below an example of program I like to organize during these 5 days:

DAY 1

We start the course in La Clusaz resort to do some group and technical level evaluation on some off-piste skiing slopes of the ski domain.

DAY 2

We will ski down some of the most famous off-piste skiing runs of La Clusaz: Ballachat, Tardevant, Fernui… During that day, we will learn some avalanche awareness tips. On request we can do some technical off piste skiing correction with a digital camera recorder.

DAY 3

During the 3rd day we will walk in order to join some virgin snow. We will find a very wild bowl, it will offer us a great off-piste skiing run.

DAY 4

After a warm up we will walk for 30 minutes in order to find one of the most hidden freeride skiing run of Les Aravis range. From there, we will have an incredible view on the Mont-Blanc massif.

DAY 5

To finish this off piste skiing trip in La Clusaz, we will drive to Chamonix. The 24 km descent of La Vallée Blanche takes us through the heart of the largest glacial area of the French Alps, at the bottom of Mont-Blanc and some other legendary peaks (Les Drus, Grande Jorasses…). The adventure starts at 3.842 m at the Aiguille du Midi to finish some 2800 m below in Chamonix.

This is an example of a possible La Clusaz off piste skiing 5-day trip. I reserve the right to change the program due to the clients’ skiing level, the weather and snow conditions.

I will take minium 4 skiers with me and max 8 in order to maximize the safety of the group and for everybody to have enough attention from to improve his off piste skiing technics.

Feel free to get in touch with me if you wish to join me during one of the freeride skiing trips I organize next winter in La Clusaz and Chamonix.
