We provide top quality ski training making sure that our athletes enjoy, perform and develop while minimizing risks. This work ethic has made it possible for us to ski for many years with our athletes, seeing them grow as skiers, racers and people.
Our training methods and expertise in technical and physical conditioning for alpine skiing are the result of many years of experience working with athletes at all levels, from the most basic to high performance.
Ski Zenit’s coaching staff is formed by a group of experienced professionals that are always seeking the best training possible, regardless if it’s private training or a group training camp. In our team we utilise experienced race coaches and very high level ski instructors. This allows us to provide our more advanced athletes with very specialized tactical and technical training and our less experienced ones with deep reinforcement of their technical foundations and tactical basic knowledge.
