Ski instructor training program. Ideal for those who want to prepare for the technical part of the level 3 or 4 BASI exams running on the Hintertux Glacier April 2025. This is a great opportunity to become more familiar with the slopes and terrain on the Hintertux Glacier. It will give you some fresh ideas, make you more aware, develop your techniques and help build your confidence in the lead up to the BASI exam week.
Inspire – Motivate – Develop – Achieve
On this ski instructor training program I hope to inspire my students on this ski instructor training program. By sharing my enthusiasm and enjoyment of being part of the mountain environment. And by passing on my understanding of skiing; take in what you feel while skiing in different and varied terrain– bumps and challenging varied terrain – conditions
To use feeling and understanding to develop a variety of ways for you to be able to create different turn shapes for short, medium or long turns – using pressure to influence the change of direction to steer or carve as you wish to enhance your performance.
Take away new feelings and understandings to be able to make continued self-development to become a stronger all mountain skier.
To give you the tools so you can work towards achieving success in the technical part of your BASI exams, but more importantly to impart the enjoyment of becoming a more all-round all mountain skier for yourself in the future.
When skiing on the mountain, you can use any situation to your advantage or disadvantage. To use the situation to your advantage, you need to adapt your technique and tactics to your own ability as well as to the conditions and type of snow. This is what makes good and effective skiers, and this is what I want to make you more aware of.
Give the candidates more open understanding of how to use an open mountain environment to ones advantage and play with the terrain.

I have been in the Ski instructor/coaching industry for a number of years and have been through exams in Europe reaching the top level in Austria, Switzerland and United kingdom. I have also been training FIS / European cup skiers for a number of years and I also hold a ÖSV – (Austrian Ski Association) Trainers Licensed. I understand the discipline and work needed to achieve the toughest goals and the structured training it takes to achieve these goals in the racing world or to pass the high standards of a technical instructor exam.
My success in the world of skiing is largely based on the pursuit of excellence, helping skiers, regardless of their level or standard, develop their technical skills by understanding what they really need as opposed to what they think they want. In particular, this includes understanding your personal goals on this ski instructor training program and individual learning styles and focusing on the outcome/success rather than obstacles/difficulties.
