Powder fun for everyone
Powder skiing with the ABS technique
Go on admit it, if you’re like most skiers, whether beginner or expert, you’ll find it difficult skiing in unfavourable piste conditions, through tricky powder snow or over moguls.
The solution to this problem is the “ABS” technique, which, after only a very short period of time, enables you to ski comfortably in any kind of powder snow. This is not a new technique, however – but is a largely forgotten method that was used well before ski lifts were invented. To put it simply, it’s the systematic execution of the most important phases of a turn. That is: you start by turning your upper body, then you bend your legs which turn “themselves” and then you stand up. In German, this is called “Andrehen, Beugen, Strecken” – in short, “ABS”.
In general, inexperienced powder skiers feel quite inhibited when it comes to turning in difficult terrain. However, with the ABS technique, turns are easy & effortless making them feel natural and rhythmic. No more trying to turn awkwardly with your poles. Instead, your turns feel graceful and elegant. Almost dancer-like! The result is a marked improvement and undreamt-of fun skiing in powder snow!
The ABS technique forms the basis for all our powder ski courses. During these courses, you’ll practice on the piste with experienced coaches and hone your skills further during the subsequent video analyses. After only a few hours of coaching, even inexperienced skiers are able to lay out amazing tracks in powder snow.
Treat yourself to an unforgettable skiing holiday.
We look forward to introducing you the thrill of powder skiing!
