Come join me on this Piau Engaly 2-day off-piste snowboarding course and let me teach you how to make the most out of any ski resort backcountry terrain.
I’ve designed this off-piste snowboarding course to help those of you with good skiing technique to go much further when approaching a mountain.
So, I will show you how to deal with different types of snow: first I’ll let you know some tips on how to recognize them and then you’ll follow me downhill while I show you the best riding techniques.
I’ve chosen Piau Engaly ski resort, located in the heart of the Pyrenees, for this course because of the great amount of snow that it receives every year, which will allow us to find some excellent powder runs very close to the lifts.
During the course I will also teach you a little on routes planification and safety techniques -including avalanche risks-. Finally we’ll go over some gear checklist so you know how to use the equipment properly and how to maintain it.
Does this Piau Engaly 2-day off-piste snowboarding course sound interesting? Then please send me a request and let’s start planning how to improve your backcountry snowboarding skills while we have a fun time riding!
And if you want to try another outdoor activity in Spain, please also check my Grand Paradiso and Mont Blanc guided ascent.

Martin is an amazing guide, very experienced and knowledgeable. He has guided me through 6 days adventure to climb Mont Blanc, starting from Gran Paradiso in Italy to the summit of Mont Blanc. He is always very prepared, and adjusting the plans based on the weather or training necessities. I would not be able to reach the summit without him.
