Greetings!
I hope you have had a fantastic summer. It is
nearly time for us to put the covers over our bbqs, fold away our
shorts and try to remember where we put our ski boots! I am not
wishing the summer away but one eye is certainly on the winter.
In this newsletter we have a lots of NEW news! We have opened
a Ski School in Serre Chevalier, launched our PRO range and have
a fantastic December offer on our private lessons. We are also just
back from France after completing a charity ride from Annecy to
Courchevel in the memory of our good friend, Ali Rainback.
To help kick things off and to help you all get back in the
swing of things we have put together a number of short ski and
snowboard tip videos. They were great fun to make - I hope you find
them useful!

Saxlund (Ski Instructor, BASI Trainer & New Generation
Director)

We are certainly not professional film makers
but we hope that you find our ski and snowboard tip videos useful.
We tried to cover topics that are continually raised in our
lessons. If you have any ideas of areas we should cover then please
do email us. You can access the ski tip video on
this link or see our full range

Ali's Cycle Challenge
2
93km and 1600m of
climbing
Ali Rainback, was and will always be a true
inspiration to us all. This was never so evident on the last 17km
of the cycle from Annecy to Courchevel where all the way up the
hill you could see friends of Ali grinding the peddles up the 8%
incline!
This year the cycle ride attracted over 60 riders on all
different types of bikes. The sun played it's part and kept us
smiling all day. The ride started in Annecy, following the 30km
cycle path and then heading over the Col de Tamie. From the top of
the Col we swept down into Albertville and followed the Vallee
Olympic to Moutiers.
The final climb up to Courchevel was the toughie! The climb
has seen many a pro cyclist collapse in exhaustion and was one of
the last climbs to witness Lance Arrmstrong at his best in the year
he took his 7th Tour Win. Unlike Lance the riders did not face
another few days on the bike so we were able to enjoy the bbq and a
few more than just one cold beer!
Thank you to everyone who made the ride possible - inlcuing
the riders! We raised over 1000 Euros for Snow Camp. Check out a small video of the day we put together. See
you next year!

The
New proXplore
A two day programme
guiding you round the mountain with tips on the way! Two levels,
from cruising the blues and reds to tackling the
steeps!
Developed by our instructor teams - the new
proXplore range offer you the chance to explore the mountain with
your instructor.
Dave Morris (Courchevel Manager) was one of the designers of the
new range 'We wanted to develop a product which did not take
up our client's week but enabled us to show them why we love the
mountains, exploring our favourite runs, the best snow and
occasionally the best coffee stops!'.
The proXplore range has two levels -
Experience (Blues and Easy red) and
Beyond 30 Degrees (Advanced). It runs for 2 days
for 3-6 people, starting at 9am to beat the queues. You will need a
lift pass that covers the whole ski area.
