This course is for Goddesses who have had a varied amount of ski experience. It is for Green and Blue run skiers looking to get to the next level.
Aphrodite Bronze ~ (May have a few days to 1+ week or more’s experience). You are a novice skier, i.e.one step above beginner. You are becoming familiar with the equipment and know how to put your skis on. You can snow plough turn left and right on a very easy alpine, dry slope or snow dome nursery slope. You may be able to snow plough turn down an easy green. You would not yet be comfortable on a blue run.
We will practice on nursery slopes, greens and maybe the easiest blues as and when you're fully ready. We will take our time and build confidence in a fun and engaging way. This course will develop enjoyment and control.
Aphrodite Silver ~ (May have 1+ weeks skiing experience already). This course is for Goddesses at the beginning of their ski career! It can also be for those who wish to start again to build better foundations. Aphrodite Silver ladies mostly snowplough turn and ski a green with relative ease. You can ski very easy blues in snowplough and very occasionally might parallel turn. A mid to steep blue might get you very tense and nervous.
This course will develop fundamental movements, timing and co-ordination to help you feel control, flow and get you ready to ski blues with confidence.
Aphrodite Gold ~ (May have 2+ weeks skiing already or have several weeks but plateaued here.) This course is for Goddesses who have had a small amount of ski experience. It might also be for ladies who have struggled with skiing for a long time. Goddesses can often ski fairly parallel on easy blues. A steep blue may cause you to tense and use defensive skiing tactics like sitting back, stiff legs or a large snowplough. Gold ladies often tell me they "got down" an easy red but would never choose a red for fun!
This course continues to develop your fundamental movements, timing, and co-ordination, helping you to reduce fear and find a sense of flow. The goal is for you to confidently ski all blue runs.
Venus Bronze ~ (You may have 4+ weeks skiing already. This is also a common place to plateaux so you may have been 12+ weeks!). This trip is for Goddesses with varying amounts of experience. Happy on blues looking to get to the next level. Venus Bronze ladies can ski parallel on most blues and may have tried several easy reds. Snowplough can still feature a fair bit at Venus Bronze level. You are not comfortable on steep or narrow reds at all. The challenging sections can easily bring on 'overwhelm' resorting to 'survival skiing' and no sense of fun.
This course is to get you feeling a nice flow and rhythm on easy reds and to help you understand and manage those tricky sections with more finesse and joy!
Please note: Ladies in Chalets Savoyard & Juliette will all eat evening meals together, alternating nights at each chalet.
