Teaching
All Levels. Maximum of 4 advised for any group (One-on-one coaching giving the best results). It is usually best to separate parents and children but all of the above can be adapted for flexibility with family groups.
MetaSki
There are many creative ways to engage life as an open and
ongoing development process. Skiing just amplifies this quality
through the presence of a stunning environment and direct
challenges to our emotions and unconscious behaviour.
The goal of MetaSki is to bring skiing out of the grip of superficial
commercialism and to present people with a true Personal
Development platform that is second to none.

MetaSki - The Story
Based in “l’Espace Killy”, Tarentaise, Savoie.
Providing a uniquely high standard of teaching.
Placing your Personal Development in Skiing foremost.
Ian
is
a
Scottish
engineer
who
came
to
skiing
as
a
young
adult,
speaks
fluent
French
and
has
earned
both
the
highest
British
qualification (BASI ISTD) and French equivalence (
Diplome National Brevet d’Etat Ski Alpin
).
After
trainin
g
and
teaching
in
several
countries
and
seeing
ski
teaching
through
the
experienced
eyes
of
an
engineer,
Ian
realised
that
all
"national"
teaching
systems
were
uniformly
fundamentally
flawed.
Initially
developed
to
handle
a
commercial
mass
market
consisting
of
large
groups
of
12
beginners
those
systems
remain
permanently
based
upon
seriously
dysfunctional
mechanics.
Stand
12
people
dead
still
in
a
snowplough
and
they
can
be
handled
-
but
they
will
be
forever
defensive.
Tell
them
to
“balance”
and
they
will
not
dare
move
correctly
-
ever!
Teach
this
way
and
you
generate
only
problems
that
can
never
be
untangled - entrapped by defensive emotions, reinforced by defensive, inappropriate movements.
Seeing
people
being
significantly
frightened,
discouraged
and
injured
by
standard
teaching
Ian
(at
great
personal
cost)
refused
to
use
those
methods
any
longer
and
started
again
from
scratch
to
work
out
a
genuine
solution.
This
was
the
birth
of
the
MetaSki
System
(1995)
-
a
scientific
approach
to
skiing
that
truly
compliments
body
mechanics:
It
uses
dynamics
(opposite
of
balance)
and
skating
(opposite
of
snowplough)
as
a
base.
Freedom
of
movement
also
frees
the
mind
from
the
tyranny
of
emotions
and
builds
skill
safely
and
amazingly
rapidly
-
with
no
artificial
limit
to
the
level
or
potential
application.
The
door
spontaneously
opens
to
skiing being a major Personal Development platform - in a stunning natural environment that no martial art can come close to.
All sessions are accompanied with a permanent multimedia report - video, photo and detailed
personalised explanations - linked to an extensive online reference database.
