Jean-Marie Delaunay explaining a technique on the piste

On-snow coaching

When the season is on, we ski together. Your physical preparation meets the mountain.

The work, tested on real runs

On snow, I see how your body copes with steep pitches, changing snow and long days. What I see there goes straight back into your programme.

  • Stance and balance. Staying centred over your skis when the slope steepens.
  • Turn shape and edging. Grip and control at the speed you want to ski.
  • Managing effort. Pacing runs and breaks so you still ski well at three in the afternoon.
  • Warm-up and recovery. Short routines for the start and end of every ski day.

Half day, full day or several days

On its own, or as part of an online plan.

Half day

One theme, worked in depth: your stance, your turn shape, or skiing steeper terrain with control.

Full day

Technique in the morning, then managing your energy and effort through the afternoon.

Several days

Coaching across your stay, each day built on what we saw the day before.

Where and when

Alpine resorts in France and elsewhere in Europe, on dates arranged in advance. Dates depend on my periods in the mountains, so ask early in the season. Premium clients have priority.

If weather or snow make skiing unsafe, we move the session to another day.
