Where? La Vormaine & Le Tour If you want to feel the power of the curve this season you need to develop and hone your carving skills. So what is carving? Carving is when the path of the ski tip and tail are the same. A carving ski will leave a clear, clean, thin track in the snow and when both skis are carving you will leave two lines in the snow rather like “railway tracks”.

There is a new snow experience out there The Back Country Skiing Course. Introduced in the winter of 2005 by Derek and Shona Tate and Robbie Fenlon in Chamonix it is a very interesting amalgamation of off-piste and ski-touring techniques; interesting because the two derive from quite different philosophies.
