Our 4 children’s classes
Snowhorse Class
This is the first ski course ever, from the age of 3.
Learning objectives:
- Riding the Zauper carpet
- Carousel
- Brake plow
- Plow curves
Snow horse info
The snow horses are the smallest and start from the age of 3. On our own practice area, the children learn how to drive the magic carpet, brake and plow curves.
Pony Class
This is the 2nd ski course, from approx. 5 – 10 years.
Learning objectives:
- Riding the drag lift
- Slipping edges
- Plow taxes “Close the door”
(Ski course without poles)
Info Ponyclass
Our Pony Class children are approx. 5 to 10 years old. They can already learn well in groups, as their coordination skills and basic motivation are constantly improving – have a lot of energy and are curious – love challenges, as they can already perform several movements at the same time – their anticipatory memory is formed and enables them to make their own decisions – need a lot of praise and, due to the group dynamic, already have their first experiences with pressure to perform – make enormous progress in a short time. This is exactly where we come in. With our learning course on the sunny slope, we practise and learn the all-important transition from snowplough to “close the door” in a playful way.
Rodeo Class
From approx. 8 to 14 years
Learning objectives:
- Chairlift ride
- Stick use
- Carving curves
- small jumps
- Field hockey Stops
Rodeo-Class Info
Our rodeo class consists of children/young people from approx. 8 to 14 years of age.
The large growth spurts interfere with coordination skills – have role models and want to be independent – are very vulnerable and have to prove themselves again and again to their peers. – are often emotional with rapidly changing highs and lows, want adventure, competitions (freestyle) and new things – have a lot of energy, are getting stronger and stronger, actually want to be adults. The learning objective is a dynamic, parallel“field hockey stop”.
Olympia Class
From approx. 13 to 16 years
Learning objectives:
- Short swing
- Driving on a steep slope
- Race carving
- Fun carving
(1 day on the Ehrwald Alm, 1 day on the Zugspitze)
Info Olympia-Class
Our Olympia Class are teenagers from approx. 13 to 16 years old.
An optimal phase for increasing athletic performance. Endurance and strength skills can be trained well – sport-specific skills develop further – so that off-piste runs and freestyle are now also incorporated into the courses – an individual identity is built up – being normal is boring – appearance and outfit become important – first parties and acquaintances are the order of the day – personality develops. The learning goal is a series of short turns.
