NZ: Geri Tumbasz: Specialty Elite Camp
Experience a focused week of breakthrough coaching with Geri Tumbasz, a specialist in precision-based ski technique with more than two decades of training instructors and athletes worldwide.
Over four intensive on-snow days in stunning Wānaka, Geri dismantles complex movements into their most critical elements, helping you recognise exactly where a turn breaks down and how to rebuild it to suit your body, the terrain, and the forces acting on your skis. This isn’t about turning you into a mechanical skier; it’s about giving you crystal-clear insight so that great skiing feels naturally easy.
The camp suits committed instructors, aspiring pros, and keen technical skiers ready to challenge themselves physically and mentally. Expect high-energy drills, real-time feedback, and daily video analysis that sharpen both skill and self-awareness. You’ll train your body to feel the difference between “almost” and “nailed”, then take away a toolkit for self-coaching long after the week ends.
Beyond the training, you’ll share the slopes, and Wānaka’s relaxed mountain vibe, with a tight-knit group of like-minded skiers who value purposeful progression.
Great skiing, Made Easy.
