Before I first went on one of Hugh’s Performance Breakthrough clinics, I was a good, but not great skier. I certainly wasn’t as good as I thought I was!  Hugh didn’t so much deconstruct and then rebuild technique as concentrate on some fundamentals including posture and balance. With each day, additional content was introduced and by the end of the first week I was definitely skiing better and couldn’t wait for more. I’m now a 10-year veteran of the programme and I still learn something new each time and my skiing has progressed beyond my wildest dreams - last season included powder skiing in Japan, ski touring and heliskiing in Iceland. The clinics aren’t all about hard work though; through them I have made many great friends who now form regular ski companions.

Dear Hugh,

many thanks for the couple of days instruction last week ... quality tuition is such a refreshing change, all with a skillfully humorous delivery combined to make the entire week a great success in perfect conditions. My wife rebooked for next year as soon as we arrived back in Scotland!

I just wanted to say what a fantastic week I’ve just had.  The effect on my skiing was everything that and more than I had hoped for. 

'I have attended BASS Ski Performance Breakthrough clinics for the last two seasons, completing levels one to three.

Prior to attending the courses, I was a proficient skier, but attending the courses has enabled me to improve my skiing to the next level and my enjoyment of skiing substantially. 

During the courses, I learned a lot about skiing technique, both on an off piste, and attained a much greater awareness of what I was doing and what I needed to do to improve my technique. Often, small changes produced big results.

The instructor on each of my courses was Hugh Monney. The courses were challenging but fun and Hugh managed to get the most out of each skier and I noticed a significant improvement in everybody I skied with on the three courses. With out a doubt, attending Hugh's courses has helped me to become a far better skier and opened up new and exciting places for me to ski with confidence, now and in the future.

I would be happy to recommend BASS Ski Performance Breakthrough clinics to anyone who is proficient and serious about improving their skiing to the next level.'    

Another great day at Vail yesterday and another today at Breckenridge. A load of snow fell throughout the day so omens are good for tomorrow.  The lessons from the Ski Performance Breakthrough Clinic in Morzine seem to have been learned and I feel like I’ve been skiing really well. In particular, the bump skiing is better than ever. Thank you. 

I wanted to say thanks for a great 3 days, I learned a huge amount when I was there and, on reflection , even more since I’ve been back. The content and your delivery of it was excellent, and made complete sense to me, and it clearly attracts a like-minded bunch of great guys. Please let me know as soon as you have the dates sorted for next season.

Skiing with you was an eye-opener, challenging and great fun.  I learnt a lot and and I feel that my performance improved significantly.

Thanks Hugh

Yet another amazing week in top company, brilliant course Hugh definitely feeling like significant progress was made, hope touring was good beautiful day for it. 

Many thanks

James

Hi Hugh,

Thank you for putting the photos on dropbox.  It was a fantastic week!  Looking forward to skiing with you again in April,

Hi Hugh

Thanks for the pictures and, once again, thanks for a fantastic week skiing. I’ve said it already, but I’ll say it again: it exceeded all my expectations and I just can’t wait to get out and put the learning into practice.

The PBC was really enjoyable and I felt I really got a lot out of it. As ever, was great to ski with you. 

Thanks Hugh

Photos are great. Real bonus having a ski instructor who also acts as the group photographer!

Enjoy the rest of your exciting year

I had a fantastic week in all senses. It was great to get some real results from my skiing and feel in control after all these years, great to see how BASS works first hand and understand what a great job you all do on the mountain. Thank you again. 

Hugh's unique approach ensured I was more tuned in to my skiing than ever before, so the considerable improvements I made during the course can be built on in the future. 

Well Hugh - What can I say ? Thank you so much for a transformational experience . My skiing friends in Chamonix were amazed to see the progress achieved in 5 days of the Ski Performance Breakthrough clinic in Austria after 7 years in France ! That must tell all . 

“Hugh is a technical expert and an innovator, continually pushing the boundaries with his exciting and dynamic ideas, many of which have put BASI at the forefront in the field of of Snowsports organisations and training organisations generally.

Thanks for a great week Hugh, I really enjoyed the skiing and felt my technique benefited hugely. Enjoy the rest of the season! 

Hi Hugh.

Thanks for the pictures and, once again, thanks for a fantastic week skiing. I’ve said it already, but I’ll say it again: it exceeded all my expectations and I just can’t wait to get out and put the learning into practice
