Unlike most other courses, with this one you start with very short skies and then make your progress to the regular length over the course of three weekends, two skiing days each. This enables you to focus on parallel skiing from the day one! For me it worked out great, by the end of the course I was able to go down easier red slopes with much confidence! The course itself is lots of fun, with a lot of focus on bonding between the instructors and the students, mainly expats in their twenties and thirties
