Fun carving and moguls are a challenge for any good skier, just as steep terrain, skiing gates (slalom, giant slalom, etc.) can be. However there is one activity that surpasses everything and which no skier can ever be tired of: skiing off-piste. Finding and creating your own track off-piste is an experience that every good skier should try.

Skiing in fresh powder.

In the off-piste, you will experience many different kinds of snow, from feather light virgin powder to hard or wind packed snow. Different types of snow should be approached with different techniques. In this section, we limit ourselves to the most fantastic type of snow that can be found off the beaten trails - fresh powder snow!

Before we begin with the off-piste technique, it is important to give a word of warning. When skiing off-piste, you are skiing at your own risk outside patrolled and safe areas. Off-piste skiing is always more dangerous than skiing on the marked trails. Off-piste skiing is not only about the right technique, it is also about having a working knowledge of the different types of snow, of avalanches, of wind and weather conditions in the mountains (see section 6)
