Warren Smith Ski Academy launches 2020 Ski Technique Lab Tour
Warren Smith Ski Academy (WSSA) has announced the return of the Academy’s SKI TECHNIQUE LAB TOUR in partnership with MDV SPORTS and Helly Hansen.
- Academy tour planned with venues set up across the UK
- Contingency plans in place if Covid-19 restrictions close any venues down
- Skiers can attend events or watch live from their homes
- Tour runs from October 15-29
For this year's tour, the academy will be taking into consideration all Covid safe regulations and delivering the sessions accordingly.
Now in its 5th year, the workshops include a lecture and explain the 3 Way Lineage (Ski Technique/Ski Biomechanics/Ski Equipment Precision) and why it’s vital for ski technique development and unlocking classic blocks in skier movement patterns.
The ‘6 Way Foundation’ tests will give participants a chance to be assessed by the team and identify their specific movement ranges and what they need to do to either balance out differences between the right and left side of the body or to generally improve range. They will then have enough information to build their own technique development program off the snow and dramatically change their skiing before the winter season starts.
Founder and Director of WSSA, Warren Smith, said: “It’s great news that we can launch the UK Ski Technique Lab Tour and take it across the country like we normally would. We’ve planned it out so whatever happens with local lockdowns, we can still run the events and stream them live to our audiences. We’ve been busy over the summer with our online sessions, building some great audiences and helping people stay tuned into their skiing under the lockdown and beyond. Whatever happens we will stick to the regulations in place wherever we are, but we hope to see people attending the events in person too”.
