As already mentioned here on the blog, Chris Walker’s life was tragically cut short when he was killed in an avalanche in Glen Coe in February 2010.Chris was also a personal friend of Alison Culshaw and a regular client of BASS Chamonix. He had aspirations to become a Mountain Guide but he knew at some point he was going to have to get to grips with skiing if this was going to come true. It quickly became clear that learning to ski was not just about the guide’s scheme – he had discovered a new sport which he undertook with the upmost passion and enthusiasm.
Each year BASS Chamonix are to offer a free place on their Ski Performance Course for Mountaineers to ensure his passion for skiing is still felt on these courses and to assist individuals with similar aspirations to Chris.
The main criteria for selection are as follows:-
a) you are a keen mountaineer/climber with some ski experience. You main focus is skiing off-piste and ski touring.
b) You intend to benefit as a result of increased knowledge and ski ability so that you can enhance you own personal ski experiences.
c) This will be the first course like this you have undertaken – you have had little input into your ski technique before from a ski instructor.
