Off Piste Essentials DVD

Off Piste Essentials is a new DVD produced by Plas Y Brenin featuring British Mountain Guides Martin Chester and Rob Spencer.

The DVD is for snow-lovers of all standards who want to learn the essential skills and techniques for back country skiing, ski touring and ski mountaineering.

With almost 4 hours of footage, it gives an informative insight into a world of off piste adventures which will answer the questions of anyone who is curious to ‘duck under the ropes’ but lacks the confidence to do so.

The DVD is entertaining to watch and packed with top tips. It contains a fifty minute documentary which follows a team of four skiers on an exhilarating week off piste. Watch the group take precautions to minimise risks on a day tour as they escape the crowds and enjoy fresh powder using skins to reach a summit. See how they make safe decisions about the terrain and the snow conditions as they progress to a multi-day hut to hut tour through glacial terrain.

The documentary is supported by technical chapters full of expertise to help you learn the basics as well as deal with all your worst “ski nightmares” from the safety of your own home.
