Mogul Camp
Many of the skiers who take the Ultimate Mogul Course tell me the same thing. The concept makes sense on screen. The movement makes sense in the living room. And then they stand at the top of a real mogul field, and it is a different story.
This camp closes that gap. Four days in my own mogul training zone on the Kitzsteinhorn — a prepared line, built and maintained for training, that took me about a decade of work with the resort to secure. There is nothing like it anywhere else I coach.
Late February is a good time to be here. The glacier snow is still cold and compact in the morning, the moguls hold their shape, and the days are long enough to train without rushing. By the afternoon the surface softens slightly — more forgiving in the bumps, and a different lesson in absorption.
Four days. One mogul line. The method, on snow.
Why the Kitzsteinhorn
A mogul camp is only as good as its moguls. Natural bumps on a busy piste are random — different sizes, different spacing, different shapes every few metres. You can ski them, but you cannot train on them in a structured way.
On the Kitzsteinhorn we have a dedicated line. Consistent spacing, consistent shape, repeatable runs. That means we can isolate one element of the technique, repeat it until it holds, and then put it back together.
At 3,000 metres the glacier holds its winter snow when the valleys are already thinking about spring. And when the conditions are right, we take the technique off the line and into natural terrain and off-piste on the mountain.
Beyond the line
After years of coaching moguls on this mountain, I know where the bumps are worth skiing in late February. A natural mogul field that holds its shape longer than any other. A pitch that is perfect between eleven and one, and not a minute later. A short off-piste section where the snow stays good when everything around it has been skied out.
I will not name them here. I show them to the group once the line has done its job — and once I know you are ready for them.
The Technical Focus
The programme follows the method from my Ultimate Mogul Course — the Wedge–Edge concept and the Corridor method — coached live, on snow, run by run. You do not need to have taken the course. If you have, you will recognise every step.
What we build across four days:
The foundation — from stem turn to edge control
The Wedge–Edge concept. How the turn starts, where the edge comes in, and why most mogul skiers lose control in the first metre of the turn rather than the last.
The line — the Corridor method
Where to ski in the mogul field and why. Reading the line, holding the corridor, keeping speed under control without braking against every bump.
Absorption and timing
Legs that work like suspension. Timing the extension and flexion so the upper body stays quiet and the skis stay on the snow — in cold morning moguls and in softer afternoon ones.
Rhythm and speed
Once the movement is right, we add pace. Linking turns in a steady rhythm through the whole line, without stopping and without losing the line.
Off the line and into the mountain
The final day we take the technique into natural moguls and off-piste terrain on the Kitzsteinhorn, conditions permitting. Unprepared bumps are the honest test of what the week has built.
The Programme
On snow daily:
- Morning coaching session — 09:00 to 11:45
- Afternoon coaching session — 13:00 to 15:30
- Real-time radio coaching throughout every run (Cardo system)
- Individual video analysis every afternoon
Lunch: On the glacier.
Where We Stay
🏠 Your choice — Kaprun
Accommodation is free of choice and booked independently. Any hotel, guesthouse or apartment in Kaprun works well as a base, a short drive from the glacier. Evenings are your own — half board or a restaurant in town both work well. Book only after the camp is officially confirmed. I am happy to recommend places on request.
What Is Included
- 4 full coaching days
- Training in my dedicated mogul line on the Kitzsteinhorn
- Real-time radio coaching every session (Cardo system)
- Daily individual video analysis
- Maximum 7 skiers — individual attention every run
Not included in camp price: Accommodation, lift pass, meals, travel and insurance are organised independently.
Who I Want at This Camp
Advanced skiers who can ski a black piste with control and want to make moguls part of their skiing — including skiers who have worked through the Ultimate Mogul Course and want to take it onto snow.
You may already ski bumps, but with too much effort and too little control. Or you avoid them, and you know that is the gap in your skiing. Either way, you want a structured method and four days of focused work.
Minimum requirements:
- Confident skiing on red and black slopes
- Controlled short turns on steeper terrain
- Some experience in moguls, even if it does not feel good yet
- Genuine motivation to improve technically
Not sure if this is the right level? Send me one run on video. I will give you an honest answer within 24 hours.
Why This Camp. Why Me.
I hold the Austrian Staatlicher Level 4 and the Hungarian Level 4 — the highest coaching certifications in both systems. My qualifications have been formally recognised and converted by the Italian Maestro di Sci programme, IASI Ireland at Level 4 and PSIA USA at Level 3. Five national systems. One standard.
I have represented Austria and Hungary at three Interski Congresses — Cran-Montana 2003, St. Anton am Arlberg 2011, Pamporovo 2019 — and two IVSI Congresses in Lech-Zürs and Hakuba Japan, as a member of the Austrian Telemark Demo Team and the Interski Delegation. As a former examiner and coach at Snowsports Academy Austria I have assessed and certified ski instructors at the highest levels of the Austrian system.
Mogul coaching is the work I am most known for. The Ultimate Mogul Course is built from it, and the Kitzsteinhorn line is where it was developed. This camp is that method, in person.
7 Places.
This is the second of two February mogul editions — 8–11 February and 23–26 February. In April the two spring camps combine moguls and carving over five days.
When the spots are gone, registration closes.
One glacier. One mogul line. Seven skiers. One coach.
