Getting things ready for next winter!

We're really starting to get thing ready for next winter, Mel has pretty much got the calendar sorted out and we're just putting the finishing touches to it and trying to fit everything in.


Another day in the office - Neil McNab.

Its looking like a busy and exciting schedule, Tech clinics and Off piste Clinics at the smaller ratio of 1 to 6. The full BC program with BC Intros and BC Freeride at 1 to 6 and Advanced Freeride courses at ratio 1 - 3. Then there's the specialist BC courses such as the BC summits week and BC Custom courses, both of which are already proving very popular! Of course there's the BC Voyager trips, Kamchatka is on the program again as is Greenland and Norway (Iran is on hold for the moment awaiting political calm!). I also have good contacts now for heli-boarding in Alaska and Canada for Private group trips at a 1 to 4 ratio, more info on demand!

Also looking really interesting is our new seasonaires program designed for all of you out there who fancy doing a season but want to maximize your time on the snow. We have 6 places available on this 12 week program that starts you of on the right foot with our 'Technical Performance Clinic', this is followed by a week of practice and then our 'Off-piste clinic', more practice time before you start out in our Backcountry program with an Intro course followed by a BC Freeride course. You then have the option of joining one of our Chamonix based Specialist BC courses such as an advanced BC Freeride or BC Summits week.

All of this and you get to stay in our new luxury accommodation for the season too. This is basically the best seasons training and riding you'll ever get!

Finally there's our new Snowboard school program for group and private lessons for those that are visiting Chamonix and want some proper instruction or guidance. Our 3 session beginners course will get you up and running and once up and about our Private lessons package offers you the chance to polish your skills or get some expert guidance to help you get the most out of your time on the snow.

I've just spent a great 3 days guiding with a Via ferrata day, a Cosmiques arrete and a traverse of the Aig du Entreves. I now have some time off to get on with next seasons brochure, up date the web site and get things organized for next weeks Kommunity Camp.

Hopefully get out on the bike a bit too!

More news soon and look out for those dates! Availability will be limited this season!!

Neil.
