TECHNICAL CARVING CAMP Moena, Val di Fassa · Dolomites, Italy 1–6 March 2027 · 6 Days Skiing · Max 7 Skiers · €1,150 per person
The Dolomites in March. The best kept secret in ski coaching.
Everyone knows the Dolomites in December. Quiet slopes, fresh snow, the anticipation of a long season ahead.
March is different. Better, I would argue — though I have spent enough time here to be biased.
The days are long. The sun is strong. You eat lunch on a terrace with the Dolomites above you and your jacket off and you think — this is what skiing is supposed to feel like. The snow is still winter snow — compact, grippy, perfectly groomed — but the mountain has a warmth to it in March that December never quite manages. The light on the rock faces in the afternoon is something you do not forget.
I have been coaching in this region for over thirty years. March in Moena is one of my favourite weeks of the entire season. The skiing is at its finest. The conditions are as good as they get for carving work. And the atmosphere — the terraces, the long evenings, the end-of-season energy that serious skiers understand — makes the whole experience something worth building your March around.
Six days. The Dolomites. Spring light on winter snow.

Why March in the Dolomites
March is the month when everything comes together in the Dolomites. The season is mature — the snowpack is established, the pistes are in their best condition of the year, the grooming is consistent and reliable. The slopes are wide and largely uncrowded. The days are long enough that there is no rush — first lift to last lift and still time for a proper evening.
The snow in March here is compact and grippy in a way that makes carving feel effortless when the technique is right. Not icy — gripping. Not soft — responsive. The kind of surface that rewards a committed turn more generously than almost anything else I have skied in thirty years and twelve countries. When the morning snow is right and the sun has not yet reached the slope and you commit to a genuine carved arc — the ski holds and accelerates and the feeling is as close to perfect as on-piste skiing gets.
By afternoon the sun has warmed the surface slightly — softer, more forgiving, still perfectly skiable. Different from the morning. Better for some exercises, more revealing for others. We use both conditions deliberately across the six days.
And from Moena the Val di Fassa pass gives us a different mountain every single day. Six days, six different terrains, six different views of the same extraordinary landscape. The variety keeps the training fresh and the experience genuinely different from day to day.
The Technical Focus
The same programme as the December edition — carving, speed work, racing style turns and the technical foundations that connect everything. The difference in March is the conditions and the light and the length of the day — all of which work in our favour.
We stay on groomed pistes throughout. The Dolomites in March gives us everything a carving camp needs — wide, safe, impeccably prepared terrain that builds progressively from comfortable to genuinely demanding. No off-piste, no variable terrain, no excuses. Just you, the groomed slope and the turn.
What we build across six days:
Long radius carving — the foundation Edge angle, angulation, pressure timing, turn initiation. Building the carving turn as a technical movement rather than a shaped arc. The March snow on Dolomites pistes is one of the best surfaces in the world for feeling the difference between a ski that is genuinely carving and one that is skidding through the turn. You will feel it here.
Speed carving on groomed terrain Wide, consistently groomed pistes where we build speed progressively across the week. The longer days in March give us more time at speed without rushing — we can repeat, refine and push the standard further than a shorter day allows. This is where carving becomes something you feel in your whole body rather than just your legs.
Racing style turns — GS and SL technique Not gate training — technique education. GS style turns on open groomed pistes to develop arc management, pressure building and speed generation. SL style turns for rapid initiation, edge-to-edge quickness and rhythm under pressure. Both disciplines transfer directly into free skiing and both work exceptionally well on the compact March snow of the Val di Fassa.
Steep groomed terrain — commitment under pressure The upper mountain in March is at its best. The gradient is serious, the grooming is immaculate and the safety nets are in place on the demanding sections. The same carving technique applied where the slope demands full commitment — this is where we find out what the week has built and how far the technique has come.
Putting it all together The final days we ski freely across everything Moena and the Val di Fassa offers — all turn shapes, all gradients, morning conditions and afternoon conditions — with the technical framework from the week replacing the habits you arrived with. In March, with long days and perfect conditions, this is exceptional skiing.
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
- One day free skiing or active recovery — chosen collectively by the group
Lunch: On the mountain. On a terrace. In the sun. This is non-negotiable in March — eating lunch inside when the Dolomites are above you and the temperature is warm would be a waste of a day in March.
Evenings: Dinner together at local restaurants in Moena — chosen for the food, not the convenience. The evenings in March are longer and warmer than December. We use them properly.

Who I Want at This Camp
Advanced skiers who want to close their season the right way — with six days of focused technical coaching on the finest groomed terrain in the Alps, in conditions that make serious skiing a genuine pleasure rather than an endurance test.
You ski confidently on red and black terrain. You have the basic carving turn in your repertoire and you want to take it somewhere it has never been — higher edge angles, more committed arcs, real speed on perfect spring snow. You understand that six days in the right place with the right coaching will do more for your skiing than anything else you could spend that time on.
This camp also works exceptionally well for skiers who want to arrive at the end of season stronger than they started it — technically sharper, more confident, with a clear picture of what to work on across the summer.
Minimum requirements:
- Confident skiing on red and black slopes
- Basic carved turns on groomed terrain
- Ability to link short and long turns with control
- Genuine motivation to improve technically

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.
I have coached in Italy for eight seasons. Moena is a place I know the way you know somewhere you have returned to again and again across three decades — not as a visitor but as someone who belongs there for a week every year and feels it when the week is over.
March in Moena specifically is something I look forward to every season. The light, the snow, the terraces, the evenings. If you have never skied the Dolomites in spring conditions — this is the camp to do it. If you have — you already know why you are reading this.
