Start working towards turning on the beginners' slope, trying to create flow from one turn to the next.Day Three
You will move onto your first green piste, again working on your turns getting better style & shape. You will learn the rules of the piste and how to deal with flatter and steeper sections of piste.Days Four and Five
(Depending on course chosen) you will start moving onto blue pistes and learn how to use chairlifts. We show you how to create more grip in your turns and how to change the shape of your turns to suit the snow and piste conditions as well as the gradient of the slope. You may even try your first switch turns and basic freestyle moves such as ollies and spins on the five day course.(On the Five day course students benefit from more time with the RTM coaches. More time can be spent on polishing style or learning tricks, or just getting the basics perfected)
