Bumps
Bumps, Bumps, Bumps…
“nobody said skiing was easy!”
BASS CHAMONIX
Bumps are challenging, then nobody said skiing was easy! There are always terrain challenges and technique improvements to make no matter what level you get to. Bumpy terrain is where everything either falls into place, or for most ... "falls apart!"
It requires a full skillset and directed focus to keep it together and achieve a bump pitch with confidence, flair and of course enjoyment. A little bit of fitness also helps but with better skills we can achieve a better all round performance.
On this course we will put together some important technical tools for you and explore the tactical and emotional requirements that you have perhaps never explored before on the slopes.
It is sometimes very difficult to actually get bumps to practice on in ski resorts but within the Chamonix Valley and Evasion Area we always have the opportunity to play.
Video analysis will be used to support the learning process (your video will be made available for you to keep).

Minimum Level - These courses are suitable for those who are able to ski all groomed runs in some form or another. Skiers who have taken time to develop onto most runs, you have come across bumpy slopes and would like to understand what is required to help you tackle them with a better outcome. Confidence still needs to be built through practicing a range of technical & tactical skills so that any bumpy slope is achievable at the speed that suits your level of performance.
Lift Pass - ChamPass* or Mont Blanc Unlimited Ski Pass or the Rapid Card (pay as you go and you get the best rate available for what you use!). Enquire on booking. *Please note the ChamPass does not cover the ski are of Les Houches which we often need use if the weather is not suitable higher up the Valley (ask us before purchasing this pass).
Required Equipment - Piste skis with a carved shape or all mountain skis (not too long or fat as that makes it more difficult to make changes to your skills in bumps). We recommend all clients wear ski helmets.
Insurance - You are required to have Winter Sports travel Insurance with piste and off piste rescue insurance (additional insurance can be purchased with your lift pass on purchase if you require it). Please ensure you read our booking conditions carefully.
