Training Camps
Freeride is a real buzzword in the industry just now, and if you
fancy improving your skills, a training camp can give you what it
takes. Base Camp Group are extending their existing instructor training
programme in Meribel this winter to include Freestyle, Racing &
Freeride Camps.
 The
camps last one week and focus on developing progression in a particular
discipline. Each morning is spent learning new techniques with the
afternoons spent putting these into practice. Off-snow work consists
of video analysis, evening workshops and daily feedback sessions.
Base Camp Group believe this approach helps break down barriers
and gives you the confidence and belief to achieve your goals.
 Top

across Europe chosen for their enthusiasm, professionalism and ability
to get results. They include Pierre Francois Papet (10 years French
Downhill Development Team), Arnaud Rougier (Current French Freestyle
Team), Julien Lopez (2003 Results: Rip Curl Invitational 5th, Oakley
Big Air 4th, Cham Jam 2nd) and Arnaud Bruchez (Coach of Ski Club
Verbier).
Freestyle, Racing or Freeride?
Freestyle - This intensive camp looks at both park & pipe manoeuvres
covering grabs, flips and rotations. Composure in the air is key
to progressing quickly and the coaches focus on developing your
balance and technique. Whether your personal goals are pulling your
first 360 or developing to a repertoire of tricks to break out into
the competition scene, our coaches understand what it takes technically
and mentally to reach the top.
Racing - This is the best way to develop your technique & this demanding
camp is designed to improve technical and tactical ability. Skiing
aggressively and increasing your speed through gates is paramount
to this and the coaches combine technical sessions with gate training
to help with particular skills while developing all-round technique.
Freeride - Whether you
prefer conventional short radius turns or more progressive forms
of riding, these camps develop your technical ability as well as
a greater understanding of the environment in which you ride. Keeping
a composed upper body and learning to be more subtle in your leg
work are just some of the skills you develop as you learn how to
ski particular lines and blend drop-offs into your descent. (NB
All camps are skiing only for this year)
