The Off-Piste Intro Course is designed for snowboarders who want to discover what lies beyond the marked pistes but don’t have the time to commit to our five-day Off-Piste Intro Camp.
Across two half days, you’ll explore some of the Portes du Soleil’s best off-piste terrain, riding the slopes and conditions that best suit the weather and snow on the day. Along the way, you’ll begin to develop the techniques and mountain awareness that make off-piste riding safer, smoother and far more enjoyable.
Every session is different. From hidden powder stashes after fresh snowfall to classic local itineraries, where you ride depends entirely on the conditions, ensuring every group enjoys the best experience the mountain has to offer.
The Off-Piste Intro Course is designed for strong intermediate snowboarders who are confident riding all marked runs and want to begin exploring beyond the pistes.
Over two half days, you’ll experience a variety of off-piste conditions while learning how to adapt your riding to variable snow, steeper slopes and natural mountain terrain. You’ll also gain an introduction to mountain awareness and the equipment used when travelling beyond the pistes.
This course isn’t about riding the steepest lines or searching for the deepest powder. It’s about starting to build a solid foundation, introducing the techniques and mountain awareness that underpin safe and enjoyable off-piste snowboarding.
