One in three skiers frustrated with their skiing

One in three skiers claim they are frustrated with their skiing and want to improve, according to a poll on the Ski Club of Great Britain’s website skiclub.co.uk.

Whilst the majority of skiers class themselves as intermediate skiers, the survey suggests skiers are looking for new ways to become better on the slopes.

For skiers who want to improve the answer may well be an instructional course or holiday. Ski Freshtracks offer 11 instruction holidays for early intermediate skiers up to advanced level skiers throughout the 2006/7 season.

For those taking a Ski Freshtracks holiday the emphasis is on trying to realise the potential of the skier whilst they enjoy a week skiing with people of a similar ability level making the holiday both a learning and a social experience.

Caroline Boileau, General Manager of Ski Freshtracks explained why skiers love the instruction holidays: “Many skiers of all levels and ages strive to get better but cannot get off the plateau during their normal week long holiday. Ski Freshtracks’ instruction holidays mean skiers come away feeling informed, exhilarated and most importantly, feeling like a better skier. Learning with others of the same ability is a recipe for success.“

The next Ski Freshtracks’ instruction course is Piste to Powder in Flaine from 20-27th January 2007 and is for intermediate skiers.

Ski Freshtracks also run a popular instruction programme for the over 50s. The next ‘Peak Experience’ programme is 27th January – 3rd February in Alpe D’Huez.
