Redefine the limits of your skiing. Our Performance and Adventure courses bring together the industries leading coaches to provide expert support for aspiring Freeriders and explorers. As your ability grows, we will continually reach further, taking you ski touring up onto big North Face Descents, into the park to develop your skills in the air and then bringing this all together so you can tackle any run with style and flow.
You will also achieve a level 1 instructor qualification and become a first aid trainer to complete a level 3 award in education and training. All of this while earning internationally recognised qualifications that will help you whatever you decide to do next. The experience gained on our performance and adventure courses will help you succeed outside of skiing.
Our Performance and Adventure courses are designed to challenge you technically and push you to the edge of your comfort zone. A love of adventure and willingness to try is as important as your technical ability. We do still recommend that you are at least a Level 5 Skier.

Performance and Adventure
Situated at the heart of the Three Valleys, Méribel offers amazing access to the largest interconnected ski area in the world. There are 169 ski lifts to the 600km of runs, not to mention the 10,000+ hectares of off-piste! So it’s a great base for our Performance & Adventure courses with so much surrounding terrain to explore.
Our coaching team is made up of racers, ex-BASI trainers, freeriders and alpine skiing fanatics. Our instructors have a passion for the mountains and have the highest qualifications in Freestyle and off-piste adventures. They are ready to help you change your skiing and become an epic all-round skier.
We tailor the training to our students with much more individual coaching and the smallest groups for coaching of any provider in Meribel. Our flexible training meets the needs of our students rather than being a one size fits all programme.
As with all of our long residential courses, avalanche equipment is included as standard. Avalanche safety and rescue training are essential skills for any aspiring Freeriders. Our team focus on developing these skills throughout the course, and by the end of the programme, you will be able to safely navigate off-piste without a guide.
During the programme, you will spend time race training in gates/stubbies on the Stade, in the park with freestyle coaches, in the bumps, working on piste-performance and off-course skiing some of the incredible Freeride Terrain that the Three Valleys has to offer.
This combination of training helps you work towards the type of skiing you see in Freeride Competitions like the Freeride World tour for example. Making you comfortable in the air, skiing at speed and in all conditions.
