|
 The textbook definition for off piste skiing is - skiing away from the recognized ski runs within the resort boundaries, or skiing outside the boundaries of a resort with a qualified guide.
With ifyouski.com and Mountain Tracks you will do both. You will encounter varying terrain and snow conditions. Of course everyone dreams of soft powder snow but skiers have to learn to live with what nature throws at them and by and large they enjoy it!
Mountain Tracks have 2 types of off piste courses, Performance and Adventure. Performance courses are run by Ski Instructors with the emphasis on instruction and how you ski. Adventure courses are led by Mountain Guides with the emphasis on guiding and where you ski.

| Performance Trips |
PERFORMANCE courses are led by Ski Instructors
Courses are offered at 3 levels :
 Off-Piste Performance Foundation
Off-Piste Performance Plus
Off-Piste Performance Advanced
All Off-Piste Performance courses are led by Ski Instructors.
Where possible courses are run with groups of 10-12 participants and 2 leaders. On the PERFORMANCE courses it works well if the second leader is a Mountain Guide. The mixture of instruction and mountain guiding to be particularly successful and one that appeals both to novice and more advanced off-piste skiers alike. In Mountain Tracks experience the combination is ideal for skiers who want to develop their off-piste ability more but find the idea of spending the whole week with a Mountain Guide as just a little scary!!! Likewise there are lots of advanced skiers

| Adventure Trips |
Our Off-Piste Adventure courses are always led by IFMGA Mountain Guides.
On these trips the emphasis is on where, rather than how, you ski. Each day you'll set out with your Guide to ski the best snow and off-piste terrain combined with general coaching, tips and hints and sessions on mountain & avalanche awareness.
Our adventure courses are open to experienced off-piste skiers and snowboarders only. If you are looking for a full week of exhilarating and challenging riding away from the crowded pistes, then these courses are for you.
