For over 30 years I skied the piste's of Europe, more
recently USA & Canada but never had the opportunity to get beyond the intermediate plateau even with instruction. In 2003, by chance, an ex school teacher (and very good off piste skier) bumped into me at the airport and insisted I go on a snoworks holiday. "Brilliant" he said, "do It" - so I did - now, 4 years later, I have new friends, skied 35-40 degree couloirs in St Anton
and Courchevel, had inspirational & inventive instruction from
Phil Smith, great off piste skiing with John Arnold, Torben Gregerson and many other top mountain guides. I will soon be off to Chile/Argentina to ski 5 volcanoes! - what more can I say - if it worked for me, it will work for you - go on, book now. - you'll not regret it.

I’m a hideously-inexperienced but fast-learning intermediate. I had never skied bumps before, but now look almost competent . I had never been off-piste, but managed two days heliskiing.

The same velocity on a normal piste would have your pants running away in terror.

John made many concepts of skiing the whole mountain much clearer which translated into a very immediate improvement in my confidence and ability.

John's instruction is second to none, everyone enhanced their skiing by the end of the week. I look forward to my next Snoworks course. Great memories.

I've never laughed so much at the video analysis before. This was my third course this season. It's so so easy to get hooked on Snoworks and most of us keep coming back for more.

I've been inspired by the confidence to tackle terrain I would never have dreamt I could ski less than a year ago.

Have you ever seen someone ski and say to yourself WOW, I
wish I could ski like that; Let the team at Snoworks show you how and put the WOW into your skiing and ski better than you
dared imagine.

Just returned from Tignes and it was one of the best ski weeks ever. Wonderful snow and excellent instruction from Rupert.

The fact that I passed my BASI speaks for itself. Great instruction, great company and great skiing every time. I'll be back for more.

Pete has enormous teaching and analytical skills, and a tremendous sense of humour. My skiing ability has risen another couple of notches.

Phil Smith is totally committed to ski performance and his
ability to teach the skills necessary to ski the whole mountain is
unparalleled.

Snoworks and Phil's team have impressed me greatly and I am encouraging other colleagues to book.
Genuinely outstanding!
Gary Bishop
Tignes, Technical
Phil is a demanding, relentlessly positive, idiosyncratic,
committed ski-instructor. Not short on self-belief, he has his own
principles of skiing which he emphasises, demonstrates (brilliantly) and re-emphasises. If your objective is to improve quickly, then book now.
Alan Dodd
Tignes, All Terrain
I'd skied some 30 weeks in 10 years and been frustrated,
so much so that I just stopped doing it. Phil Smith turned something hitherto complex and unfathomable into an incredibly simple set of concepts that I could actually grasp! I'll not consider tuition with anyone else now.

This will be my 3rd course in the last 18 months. Really hooked now.
Ellen Thornell
Tignes / Technical
Phil simplifies skiing to the point where I could suddenly do it again. And once I could do it, I started enjoying it - even when we did scary stuff like ice and off piste. Snoworks might look as if it is aimed at experts but the teaching is ideal for low-level intermediates as well. And there were plenty of single people
so it was fine being on my own.

Years later I am still skiing at that level way above where I was when I started to ski with you.

A hallmark of Snoworks is the quality of the instructors.
Phil Smith, recognised as one of Britain's foremost ski teachers. Emma Carrick-Anderson, Britain's top female skier for 10+ years. John Arnold, former Director of Coaching for Snowsport Scotland.
Rob Rees
Tignes, Race
I have been skiing with Snoworks for the last 6 years. I was a very nervous intermediate skier when I started. Snoworks have made me a much better skier. Each year I gain more expertise and increase confidence.
Frances Vincent
Technical, Tignes
My 3rd course and definitely the best. My confidence for all kinds of slopes has increased greatly. Phil was a superb instructor, a teacher to his finger tips.
Tony Waterston
Gressoney, Backcountry
Until this course, I had only ever scratched the surface of what the new generation of ski equipment allows you to do. It was nothing short of a revelation.
Niel Tyler
Gressoney, Backcountry
The reality was so much better than I expected - Snoworks really helped expose the essence of modern ski technique and brought my skiing on in leaps and bounds (sometimes literally!). I have become an advocate of the Snoworks philosophy of skiing and will definitely be back for more next winter.
Tim Carr
Tignes, All Terrain
I booked on to a Snoworks 'All Terrain' course at the beginning
of the season with the intention of improving my skiing. What I didn't bargain on was just how much fun I'd have in the process...
Mark Trevisan
Tignes, All Terrain
The November course really sets me up for a great and productive ski season. As a director of a motorbike holiday company I can relate to the excellent organisation and
superb level of instruction that Phil's company, seemingly effortlessly, has always provided. Top class not to be faulted .
