Warren Smith Ski Academy

Whether you need to step it up from a fitness perspective or technique (or both), the Warren Smith Ski Academy team will be on hand each day at the show to offer free advice and tips on these subjects.

SKI FITNESS – Warren Smith has been developing a pre ski specific fitness program to give a boost to your performance at the start of your winter season. The program also reduces the risk of injury whilst on the slopes. The Academy team are officially launching the Pre Ski Fitness program on the 12th November but you'll get a chance to preview the content and try it out at the show.

On the Warren Smith Ski Academy stand the team will talk you about your fitness, run you through some tests and give you an overall score. You'll leave the stand with a better understanding about your ski specific fitness and with an good idea of what to work on before you go skiing.

SKI TECHNIQUE – Warren Smith is an industry leader when it comes to ski technique. A personalised chat with Academy team members regarding issues you may have with certain aspects of ski technique, including Carving, Moguls, Powder, Freeride, Steeps and General Foundation, will leave you with ideas of what to work on to improve. The Warren Smith Ski Academy stand will have over £1000 of Ski Academy DVD's to give away over the 5 days on the stand.
