THE ALL MOUNTAIN EXPERTS
Snoworks Ski Courses

Snoworks is one of the UK’s leading providers of all mountain ski courses to destinations around the world. Founded by Phil Smith in the late 1980’s, the first ever ‘ski courses’ company has now evolved into Snoworks and has transformed the abilities and experiences of thousands of skiers across the years, a track record we’re really proud of.  Our instructors and guides are hand picked, highly qualified and massively enthusiastic.

Our mission is to explore the WHOLE mountain, in the company of skiers of a similar standard, whilst improving your skiing.

We’re passionate about pushing the boundaries of the way we ski, how we learn to ski and where we ski – that’s why all our courses are based on a simple, effective toolbox of skiing skills, designed to open up a whole new world of all mountain skiing.

 

My skiing improved beyond recognition. In just three days I learnt more about skiing than I had in the last 10 years

“Skiing after a Snoworks Course is truly a different experience as you survey the mountain looking for fun and good snow, confident in your ability to rise to the challenges of the terrain”
