TECHNICAL CAMP Kitzsteinhorn Glacier · Kaprun, Austria 24–27 November 2026 · 4 Days Skiing · Max 7 Skiers · €860 per person
Four days. Every turn shape. One clear technical direction.
Most skiers who reach an advanced level have the same problem. They ski well enough that nobody around them notices the gaps — but they feel them. The carving that loses grip under pressure. The short turns that work on easy terrain but break down on steep. The moment when the slope gets serious and something in the technique quietly fails.
This camp is for that skier.
Four days on the Kitzsteinhorn glacier covering the full range of on-slope technique — carving, short turns, varied terrain and the fundamental movement patterns that connect everything. Not a specialist camp. Not a single discipline deep-dive. A complete technical picture of where your skiing is right now — and a clear direction for where it needs to go.
If you have ever wanted to spend four focused days with an expert coach working on everything that matters — this is that camp.

What We Work On
The Kitzsteinhorn in late November gives us exactly what this camp needs — reliable glacier snow, varied terrain and the early season conditions that reward technical precision over brute force. The mountain is honest. If something in your technique is not working, you will know it here.
Each day has a different technical emphasis but the thread running through all four is the same — understanding what your body does, why it does it, and how to change it deliberately and permanently.
Carving and edge work Real carving — not just bending the ski through a turn but engaging the edge with intention, at the right moment, with the right amount of pressure. We work on hip and knee angulation, edge angle management and the body position that allows the ski to do what it was designed to do. You will feel the difference between sliding through a turn and actually carving one.
Short turns Rhythm, timing and upper-lower body separation. The technical demands of a good short turn are unforgiving — everything happens faster and there is no time to recover from a mistake made three turns ago. We build your short turns from the movement pattern up, not from the shape down.
Varied terrain and conditions Steeper pitches, softer snow, harder snow, gradient changes. Technique that only works on one type of terrain is not really technique — it is a habit that the mountain tolerates under specific conditions. We test and build your skiing across everything the glacier offers.
The connection between disciplines The movements that make a great carved turn are related to the movements that make a great short turn. Understanding that connection — feeling how edge control, pressure and timing transfer across all turn shapes — is what takes a skier from good to genuinely technical.
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
How the four days build:
Day one: Technical assessment. I watch you ski across all terrain and turn shapes before I coach a single thing. I need to know where you actually are — not where you think you are — before we decide where to focus.
Day two: Carving and edge work. Building from fundamentals to dynamic performance on varied gradient.
Day three: Short turns and rhythm. Taking the edge control from day two and applying it at speed and in tighter radius.
Day four: Everything together. Varied terrain, varied conditions, all turn shapes — skiing with the technical framework we built across the week rather than the habits you arrived with.
What Is Included
- 4 full days of on-snow coaching across all disciplines
- Real-time radio coaching every session (Cardo system)
- Daily individual video analysis
- Personal technical assessment on day one
- Self-coaching framework to continue developing after the camp
- Maximum 7 skiers — individual attention every run
Not included: Accommodation, lift pass, meals, travel and insurance are organised independently. I am happy to recommend accommodation in Kaprun on request.
Who I Want at This Camp
Advanced skiers who ski well but know they could ski better — and want an expert eye and four structured days to find out exactly where the gaps are and how to close them.
You are not a beginner. You ski confidently on red and black terrain, you have both long and short turns in your repertoire, and you are ready to be coached — which means you are ready for honest feedback and willing to act on it.
You may not know exactly what you need to work on. That is fine. Identifying that is part of what the first day is for. You may have a specific goal — instructor preparation, a particular technical challenge, a weakness you have been aware of for years. Bring it. We will address it.
This is also an excellent season opener for serious skiers who want to arrive in December technically sharp rather than spending the first month shaking off the rust.
Minimum requirements:
- Confident skiing on red and black slopes
- Both long and short radius turns in your repertoire
- Genuine commitment to being coached and improving

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.
Over 30 seasons I have coached skiers across Austria, Hungary, Holland, Belgium, Russia, Georgia, Japan, China, the USA, New Zealand and Italy.
A technical camp covering everything is in many ways the hardest camp to coach well. It requires knowing which technical thread to pull first — which change will cascade through the rest of the skiing and deliver the most improvement in the least time. That judgement comes from 30 seasons and thousands of skiers. Every person who comes to this camp leaves with a different focus because every person who comes has different skiing. That is the point.
