WELCOME
Hello. Welcome to our ski instructor courses community. We’ve over 10 years’ experience training ski instructors, and these programmes are a huge part of who we are. Our aim is to train instructors who’ll make up our instructor teams across Europe. New Generation. New approach. For this winter we’ve made some big changes to our courses. This is to give you more support to progress through the instructor pathway. We also hope to inspire people to live a better life, whether in the instructor industry or elsewhere. The dedicated in house training centre New Generation are a fully functional, award winning ski school, as well as being one of the best ski instructor training centres. This makes us unique; we’re able to deliver every element of our training in house, and we can continue working with students once they’ve qualified. In fact, we’ve several instructors who joined us for a gap year and have stayed ever since. Some have helped us set up ski schools in new resorts, and others are now delivering the very courses that started their careers.

ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE
WHO ARE BASI? Understanding who BASI are and what they do is key if you are going to choose the right ski instructor course. As always the choices you make will play a large part in your ski instructor career.
SO WHO ARE BASI?
BASI are one of many international snowsports instructors associations around the world. For the most part they represent British Instructors. However any nationality is free to complete the BASI system and earn their BASI qualifications.
WHAT DO BASI DO?
BASI has many different roles. Chief among these is the examination of ski instructors to ensure they meet the criteria required to teach at a variety of levels. As a result of this BASI are also responsible for ensuring that the qualifications they provide are recognised internationally. They work behind the scenes with other Snowsports Instructors Associations to represent the members, maintain this recognition and ensure there is a universal level of quality. There are many other benefits of being a BASI member such as Public Liability insurance while you are teaching.
DOES EVERY NATION HAVE ITS OWN VERSION OF BASI?
Most nations with easy to access to skiable terrain will have their own Snowsports Instructors Association. The CSIA is the Canadian version and ENSA is the French Version to name a few. Their roles are virtually identical to that of BASIs and they will have their own qualification system and levels of ski instructor.
ARE ALL THE QUALIFICATION SYSTEMS CREATED EQUAL?
No! As each system was created separately there are differences between them. Some systems like the CSIA and BASI have 4 levels of ski instructor with varying degrees of experience and skill whereas the French just have one level of ski
8
instructor so you are either qualified or not. As a result of this each system thinks it is the best and that it creates the best ski instructors. This can make changing between systems a very frustrating thing to do. We always advise students to qualify in a system that best suits their long term goals. The Canadian system for example is incredible if you want to work in Canada, however it is not recognised in Europe so makes working closer to home much tougher. In contrast the BASI system will not be as useful when it comes to finding work in Canada but is recognised in Europe and will be more useful to you there. BASI is also recognised in Canada but if they were choosing between two identical candidates with the qualification system being the final decider it is likely they would go for the CSIA candidate.
HOW WILL MY QUALIFICATION BE VIEWED OUTSIDE OF SKIING?
BASI have been working with the SCQF & EQF and BASI qualifications are now recognised on the the qualification framework. This is a mechanism for recognising skills from many qualification and awarding bodies. It will allow you to use your BASI qualifications towards University Courses and Applications as well as providing career cross over options for fully qualified members. See the table below for the qualifications equivalent to each level.

ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE
EUROPE
WHERE YOU CAN WORK WITH BASI? Where you can work with each BASI qualification is something that is often poorly communicated to students. There are opportunities to work all over the world with the BASI level 2 qualification but more doors open as you progress through the system. The map to the right shows the minimum qualification level you will need to work in each country.
BASI LEVEL 1 You can work at dry ski slopes or snowdomes across the UK.
BASI LEVEL 2
BASI LEVEL 3
BASI LEVEL 4
Allows you to teach in a mountain environment on marked runs.
Allows you to teach on and off piste with in the resort boundary.
Allows you to teach on and off piste as long as you are not on glaciated terrain.

BASI LEVEL 1 AND 2 RESIDENTIAL COURSE The Aim: Spend a season in the world’s best resorts skiing amazing terrain, challenging yourself, improving your skiing, making new friends and becoming a qualified ski instructor. Our residential BASI 1 and 2 ski instructor courses are our most popular programs. Serious skiing combined with a lively and friendly atmosphere make for an amazing experience. With French lessons, fitness sessions and over 30 hours of on snow training a week to fit into the mix there is never a dull moment.
We design these programmes from the ground up every year with 2 goals; make sure we have a programme we are really proud of and make sure it is a programme that is designed to help students achieve their goals. For 16/17 we have made our biggest changes ever. We have doubled the number of training hours each student received, made the course longer and have included avalanche safety equipment for every student to keep so they can explore the mountain with us.

BASI LEVEL 1 AND 2 RESIDENTIAL COURSE WEEK 4 Your BASI level 1 exam. This is the real deal a full week with a BASI trainer who will assess your technical skiing and knowledge of BASIs teaching models and methods. The exam runs for the whole week and the trainers role is to develop your knowledge of the sport while simultaneously ensuring you meet the ability requirements to pass the exam. Tip: You cannot pass or fail your BASI level 1 on one run or teaching session - your performance over the whole week is taken into consideration. So if you have a bad run don’t let it get to you, it is not the end of the world and there is plenty of time to demonstrate just how good you are.
WEEKS 5–9 A real mix of personal performance training and off snow activities including:
WEEK 1 is spent working on your personal performance and ensuring everyone finds their feet. You will do full days of training with your mentor focusing on the basic performance aspects of piste skiing. We also make the most of this time to show you how to use your avalanche safety gear and begin with our avalanche awareness, prevention and rescue training. This way when the time comes to ski off piste you are ready.
WEEK 2 is another full week of training. During this week we will build on the aspects of performance skiing that we introduced in week 1 and start to put some of those skills into place away from the marked runs exploring some of the amazing terrain the our resorts have has to offer. WEEK 3 whereas weeks 1 & 2 are spent primarily working on your personal performance and making you better skiers, week 3 starts to introduce you to BASI’s teaching models, demonstration criteria and terminology.
You will do mock teaching sessions and get a chance to experience the atmosphere and environment of a BASI exam during a mock exam with one of our own BASI trainers.

COMMON QUESTIONS
1.
HOW MUCH MONEY DO I NEED TO BRING ON THE BASI 1 AND 2 COURSE? The only thing you will need to pay for is lunch and dinner on 2 days of the week. The kitchen is available for you to use and many students choose to cook as a group but you can also pop out for a quick pizza. Apart from paying for those meals the only money you will need is for any extras you fancy buying such as drinks out, a second pair of skis or anything else that takes your fancy. We have worked our hardest to keep extra costs to a minimum so you can focus on having fun.
2. WHEN DO I NEED TO ARRIVE IN RESORT? We pick students up from Geneva a few days before the course starts. This is to give them time to settle in, get to know the people they are living and training with, get to know the resort and sort out any kit that they still need to purchase. Sunday after they arrive there will be a pre course meeting where students will meet their mentors and find out how the course will run and their training schedules. On snow training will start on the Monday after students have arrived.
3. ARE THERE OPPORTUNITIES TO WORK AFTER COMPLETING MY GAP COURSE?
New Generation have contacts with many ski schools that employ BASI Level 2 Instructors. During the course students will have a careers seminar which will advise students about setting up placements for after their courses have finished. We work with schools in Italy, Switzerland and other ski schools around Eurpoe who have all offered our students placements in the past. With the BASI Level 2 qualification trainees will also be able to apply for work in places such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand and other parts of Europe. New Gen will be on hand to offer help and support in applying for placements.
4. DO I NEED TO BE FIT FOR THE COURSE? Skiing is a physical sport. There are a few areas within skiing which will challenge your fitness. These elements could be the gradient of the slope, the speed at which you travel, the size of your turn and the terrain (bumps, or moguls for example, are notorious for testing physical fitness). Through the course you will be challenged by your mentor/trainer on agility, coordination, balance and explosive movements. If you train before the course, you will pick up exercises and skills faster, therefore aiding your progression and enjoyment throughout the course.
5. WHAT DO I NEED TO DO BEFORE COMING TO RESORT?
As part of your BASI 1/2 residential course you will be shadowing our children’s group lessons over Christmas, New Year and half-term. As you will be working with children we will need you to apply for a Criminal Record Disclosure. You will also need your Disclosure to receive your BASI License and to apply for work after the course. Applying for your criminal record disclosure is an easy online process but you will need at least one form of ID handy.
15
BASI LEVEL 1 AND 2 RESIDENTIAL COURSE
THE 3 VALLEYS The 3 Valleys is the home of New Generation - with smooth race pistes, mogul fields, glacial skiing, couloirs and wide-open powder fields it’s easy to see why we chose it! It’s the ideal training ground to improve your performance with access to a wide variety of terrain in the 3 Valleys, and over 600km of pistes to play with. The resorts are very popular with instructors - it’s a great place to network and find out more about taking your career further. There are four snowparks, plenty of off-piste and more marked runs than you can ski in one season.

OUR COACHING TEAM
Our ski instructor courses are delivered by some of the industry’s most experienced coaches and athletes. Our coaching team consists of BASI trainers, Demo Team members, professional athletes and experienced race coaches. Each year our coaches play a key part in designing our courses using their experience coaching at the highest levels of the sport. The mentors provide high level performance ski coaching and give each student a written action plan for their skiing and teaching which is continuously updated during the course. Off snow they also provide video analysis and feedback, as well as the necessary training on ski theory, presentation skills and teaching.
AL E CAM B O N Most instructors are happy to get fully qualified in one system. Ale is fully qualified in 4; the British, Italian, French and Swiss. On top of that he is a BASI trainer. His skiing knowledge combined with his experience as a professional athlete make him one hell of a coach.
DAVE B AR N E T T Barney is a BASI ISTD Instructor and one of our most experienced mentors. He has guided our students in Courchevel for 4 years and has helped over 50 instructors pass their level 2. He’s also one of the first mentors to see his students complete the BASI system.
G AR E T H SHELBOURNE Gareth is a BASI ISTD, CSCF L2 Race Coach, BASI L2 Race Coach, Reps 3 Personal Trainer with a BSc (Hons) in Sport and Exercise Science. During the summer this expertise is used to help young GB racers, and during the winter his focus is training new instructors.
S AM P IC K U P Sam has been involved with New Gen since he met Ali (one of the New Gen founders) on his Level 1 course. After blasting through the qualification system to BASI ISTD, he quickly realised that he wanted to use his experience gained coaching racers on a more regular basis and has been a mentor ever since.
20
OUR COACHING TEAM
DAV E MOR R I S Dave is one of the industries most respected coaches, as well as running the most successful Eurotest training programme available he is an experienced BASI trainer. Dave is a senior member of the BASI training team and works closely with us to design our programmes.
JA S BR UC E Jas is a eurotest opener, BASI demo team member and BASI trainer. Jas raced with the GB development team and has coached instructors and racers at all levels so is perfectly placed to help you develop and continue your instructor career.
JON A HLSEN Jon is a BASI Trainer and member of the NZSIA Interski Demo Team. In his eyes good skiing is about performance and not criteria. You get performance by doing a few things and when you do those things right you automatically reach the criteria.
LEW I S MA C LELLA N Lewis started his Ski Instructor career on our Meribel BASI 1 & 2 course and never left. Over the last 9 years he has developed into one of our most successful mentors and works as part of our tech team creating our new training programmes.
TOM WA DDI NGTON Tom is a BASI Trainer, Swiss Patente, Brevet Federal and our Verbier Resort Manager. Like Jon, his focus is performance and when not training instructors he is working with Team GB athlete Dave Ryding to hone his skills.

STUDENT STORY
DAVID’S STORY SO FAR What influenced you to take the step and do your first season?
It was August 2013 when I decided to become a ski instructor but as with most stories, it was not quite as simple as just making the decision, so I will try to explain just what motivated it. My whole life I had been fairly academic, achieving good results in most of my exams. This eventually led me to study Mathematics at the University of Bath with a view to a job in the city, something along the lines of banking or insurance. My time at university was fairly mixed. I made some great friends and had some great experiences but unfortunately I really did not enjoy the course. Looking back I feel I grew as a person and learnt more about myself than I did about my degree, however, I have always found it incredibly difficult to quit something I have started, so I stuck it out and graduated in 2013.At this point I was desperate to do something different, if only for a little bit, so I decided a ski season would be the perfect next step. Skiing has been my greatest passion for as long as I can remember, so that decision was easy.
22
What made you want to do a ski instructors course?
It was more difficult to decide exactly what I wanted to do on the season. I looked into various jobs in the Alps but nothing seemed to provide the one thing I really wanted, lots of time on the slopes. Then my parents told me of an advert they had seen in Courchevel on a recent trip they had been on. New Generation were offering courses to become a ski instructor. It was everything I wanted, plenty of skiing and I would hopefully come out with a new qualification. At the time, the qualification was an added bonus but not much more than that.
“At the risk of sounding morbid, life is just too short to not spend it doing something you love” This changed dramatically in August 2013 when I suffered from a stroke. It may be a bit of a cliché, but there really is nothing like a near death experience to change your outlook on life. I am now ashamed to admit it but until that point my whole
STUDENT STORY
life had been about money. I had studied and worked hard purely to get a high paying job; and for what? So I could afford to go skiing on holiday. Since that day I have been driven by the desire to get the most of out every single day and to enjoy it. At the risk of sounding morbid, life is just too short to not spend it doing something you love.
How did you find your first ski instructor training programme?
I embarked upon my 10 Week BASI 1 and 2 Course with New Generation and it proved to be everything I had imagined. Not only did I get to ski every day, but I was improving my own technique and my understanding of the sport. I loved every minute of it. For the first time in many years, I knew why I was doing what I was doing. For me, a prime example of that was the first time I sat down to write a skiing CV after the chat with Euan Wright. I remembered spending hours slaving over job applications to banks, trying to fabricate some convincing reason why I really wanted to work for that bank. So it was with some trepidation that I sat down to write my CV for Thredbo. However, this time I found it easy. So much of what I had done over the years for my own enjoyment had given me experience of teaching and leading others; from Camp America to my time in the combined cadet force at school. I did not struggle coming up with answers for the myriad of questions I was presented with, I merely had to articulate my thoughts. It may seem unimportant but this was one of the moments that confirmed for me I was finally on the right track.
What did you do after your first season?
My enthusiasm for the profession must have been apparent and I was offered work for Interski at the end of the season and for Thredbo during the Australian winter. These were my first real tastes of working as a ski instructor and it did not disappoint. In fact, I loved it so much that I endured 88 days of farm work to secure a visa and I will be returning to Thredbo this year on the 12th June.
How was the step up from Level 2 to Level 3?
Obviously, within this profession there can and will be setbacks. This season provided my first exposure to them. Training for my ISIA with New Generation in Courchevel, I suffered two significant injuries which kept me off skis for about four weeks
of the eight week training. Even when I was able to get back on skis, I was not fully fit and not able to ski as well as I would have liked. This, no doubt, contributed to me just missing out on my technical exam in Hintertux. The feedback I received was, in my trainer’s words, a bitter pill to swallow. I had passed every aspect except for my short turns, where I had fallen short on the inconsistency of my left foot turns. However, it is not our failures that define us; it is our ability to bounce back. This season has served to make me more determined than ever and I believe that is testament to my passion for the sport.
What’s next?
So we come to the present day and my story is nearly at an end. The only thing left is to answer the question, why New Generation? This, again, is one I find remarkably easy to answer. Not only have I heard nothing but praise for the programme New Generation runs but I have also seen firsthand the sort of organisation it is. To me, it seems more like a family than a business and everyone wants to help out; they want to go the extra mile. Just one of many examples of this was Tom Speakman offering his free time to take us out in the weeks after our training had officially finished. It is the little things that mean so much that make me want to be a part of New Generation and continue to work and train with them in Verbier.

AVALANCHE AWARENESS WELCOME!
5
STEPS TO STAYING SAFE ON THE MOUNTAIN
Off piste skiing and ski touring is the fastest growing part of the ski industry and in our opinion one of the best. However the increasing number of people venturing away from marked runs has also seen a sharp increase in the number of avalanche accidents we are experiencing every year. We’d much rather sit down and tell you about the awesome runs we’ve skied (in fact we’ve dedicated 4 pages to exploring the powder in Norway up ahead) - but we want to be up front about managing the risks of skiing off piste first. If you want to be the one skiing waist deep powder then knowledge is power. You must understand the safety procedures, be able to spot the clues and most of all respect the mountain.
1. GET THE GEAR When skiing off piste it is essential that you carry a transceiver, shovel and probe. This allows you to find a buried partner or be found. Make sure everyone in your party is also carrying the right gear - it is no good being able to find and rescue if everyone else can’t rescue you. If your friends don’t have the gear, don’t ride with them. They are endangering your life. Practise transceiver searches regularly.
24
Seconds can make the difference between life and death. Ensure you have some way to contact rescuers. This can be a mobile but make sure it is charged.
2. GET THE TRAINING
Take mountain safety classes and ensure you know how to perform a transceiver search and rescue properly for one or more buried people as well as. • What different kinds of avalanche there are
• How to minimise risk when in avalanche terrain • How line choice and weather can dramatically affect the level of risk you take • What causes different types of avalanche and how you can find this information • Learn first aid to allow you to care for an injured member of your group • Stay current • Read accident reports • Take refresher classes • Practise
4.
GET THE PICTURE Avalanche forecasts are a rough guide. Some areas and aspects may be more dangerous than others. Look out for recent avalanche activity, changing wind, new snow; temperature changes, cracking or collapsing snow and wind deposited snow. Use this combined with your knowledge to get a more accurate assessment of the risk where you are and minimize your risk in the mountains.
3. GET THE FORECAST
Across the world avalanche forecasters work to help keep us safe by providing a professional take on the daily avalanche risk. You can find the daily avalanche risk at the bottom and top of every lift in every resort in Europe. Conditions can change quickly and the above should not be seen as a replacement for getting the training so you can make your own decisions.
5.
GET OUT OF HARMS WAY Always ski one person at a time and always identify a safe place to regroup that will be out of the avalanche path. Never stop in an exposed area. Stay in contact, watch each other ski and ensure everyone gets down safely. Never enter a closed area or ski a closed run. Skiing off piste is incredibly fun and one
AVALANCHE AWARENESS
of the reasons that many of us became instructors but we need you to know that it can be dangerous. This danger does not mean you should never ski off piste but you absolutely must know how to minimize risk and when to say ‘no’. The mountains are not going anywhere - you can always come back another day. All of our BASI 1 & 2 pupils will receive a transceiver, shovel and probe as part of the course. It is yours to keep and practise with. Every student on any one of our programmes will receive extensive mountain safety training so they can safely do all 5 of the above. We want you to have the best season possible and the ski runs you will never forget, but we want to make sure you do it safely. Visit: www.meteo.fr in France or www.SLF.ch in Switzerland for daily avalanche bulletins and risk analysis in your area.

GEAR GUIDE
TRIED AND TESTED Off piste skiing is rapidly growing in popularity and is assessed as a skill by BASI. When skiing off piste it is essential that you have the right knowledge and equipment to avoid avalanche incidents and mount a rescue if one does occur. For this reason we run extensive mountain safety training and provide all BASI 1 & 2 students avalanche safety equipment that is theirs to keep for the rest of their career.

All students will be given a New Gen Team jacket as part of the course. If however you want to bring a spare we always recommend buying a shell. Shells are really versatile and can be worn with a variety of layers depending on the conditions.
AVALANCHE TRANSCEIVER
A small electronic device that enables you to find individuals buried under the snow and allows you to be found if the worst were to happen. All BASI 1 & 2 students will receive an Ortovox Zoom 3 antenna transceiver.
SHOVEL
A must have if you plan on heading off piste. It must be metal - plastic is for your car.
PROBE
It might just seem like a long pointy stick but an avalanche probe can be the difference between life and death. Average rescue times increase from 12 minutes to 28 minutes without this bit of kit and you chance of survival under the snow for that long drops from 90% to about 20%.

GEAR GUIDE
THE ESSENTIALS SKIS
The right skis are key and can make your life far easier. For 16/17 our ski of choice for BASI 1 & 2 students is the Nordica Spitfire Ti. It will perform well in all conditions and best of all is still a great choice for your Level 3 training if you wish to continue. Of course if you fancy something a bit different let us know and we can help you choose.
SKI BOOTS
One of the most obvious bits of equipment you will need. Get them fitted by a pro, ordering online may save a little in the short term but will cost you performance and possibly more money if you get the wrong size or shape.
SKI PANTS
Chances are you will wear these a lot and not just skiing. We recommend buying 1 good pair rather than lots of average pairs. In our opinion a shell style pant is the way to go. They are more breathable come spring , often more waterproof and tougher. The Planks Yeti hunter is a great option and really well priced. Designed by pro skiers they will take anything you can throw at them.
A HELMET
We won’t let you train without one. You will be skiing hard and pushing yourself most days. We love anything by POC but mainly for looks, all helmets have to meet certain safety criteria so as long as you like it that is all that matters.
SUNGOD REVOLT GOGGLES
A good pair of Goggles is essential. We love the SunGod Revolts, they are awesome. They look great and outperform many of the bigger brands. You can fully customise your design at the point of ordering and changing the lens could not be easier.

GEAR GUIDE
THERMALS
The most important part of your ski gear. The right thermals can make a huge difference to your day, and should keep you dry and warm. We love Opus Fresh’s Merino thermals. They are designed and made in New Zealand using locally sourced Merino Wool. As a company they focus on sustainability with values of making the highest quality products with the smallest impact on the environment. Their Merino thermals will keep you warm when it is cold, cool when it is warm, and you have to work very hard to make them smell. So you can go straight from skiing to après without needing a shower. Or you can just rest safe in the knowledge that you do not need to wash them as often.
GLOVES OR MITTENS
Make sure they are waterproof and warm. Temperatures can drop as low as minus 20 degrees and further if there is a strong wind. We recommend the Hestra Leather Fall Line finger glove. The warmth of a mitten - the dexterity of a glove. The perfect compromise.
RUCKSACK
This will be the home for your avalanche safety equipment and any spare layers you want to carry. It is essential that it is comfy to ski in. Our bag of choice is the Evoc FR guide. It has a built in back protector, easy vertical ski carry attachments and a great waist strap which makes it really comfy while skiing.
WATERPROOF SHOES
There is nothing worse than wet, soggy and cold feet. On top of being uncomfortable it makes your shoes stink. Winter ready shoes are a must. Vans and Nike make winter proof trainers, alternatively Timberland or Sorel boots will keep your feet extra warm.

N O RWAY 2016 An expedition to one of the most beautiful countries on earth, to find untouched snow away from the hustle and bustle of the world. With the Fjords being such a prominent part of scenery we needed to find a way to access the best runs without relying on roads that can be closed at a moments notice.

TEAM ADVENTURES
A True Wilderness Led by a crew of three and supported by local guides we boarded the H.M.S Gassten and headed out in search of an unforgettable adventure. Where? The Sunmore Alps, further south than Lyngen or Lofoten but far quieter. With so much of the terrain at that time of year only being easily accessible by boat it is easy to understand why this is. We did not see a single other skier on the whole trip. Landing in Norway felt more like arriving in a scene from Jurassic park, the landscape is vast, harsh and looks unforgiving. Alesund airport is empty with very few other planes on the tarmac and just the passengers from our small 30 seat plane shuffling towards the arrivals building. Despite its remoteness you can fly to Alesund from all of the UK’s major airports with flights starting at around £90 return. Once through security and reunited with our luggage we quickly found the rest of the Team, including our skippers Sven and Tash as well as our very talented Chef Emily. After a short 30 minute transfer we arrived at the Gassten. The Boat H.M.S (His Majesty’s Ship) Géssten was the last ever class of wooden warship built by the Swedish navy and as a result one of the last ever surviving wooden warships. She was in active service from 1973 until her colours were stricken on December 31st 1999. During her career she was involved as part of a NATO force tasked with sweeping for mines in the eastern Baltic, clearing the coasts of Estonia, Latvia and Finland clear of mines from WW2. The Gassten was built by the finest naval craftsmen and marine architects with massive
31
TEAM ADVENTURES
oak beams for protection against exploding mines. Converted to a very high standard, the Gassten sleeps 10 in a combination of double and twin berths, all of which served as the original officers’ quarters. The cabins are not massive but you do have full size beds and space to store your kit, far more luxury than we are used to after having stayed in many European huts. Great care has been taken to maintain and cherish the original features and fittings from her days as a serving vessel in the Swedish Navy. Oak beams line the cabin ceilings while the base of the original gun emplacement sits high on the bow and was our favourite place to enjoy a post ski beer! Maybe it is a guy thing but there was something cool about being on a war ship with so much history. Night 1 was spent in the fishing port of Alesund. The excitement of being on a ski trip without being surrounded by quaint alpine chalets, cheese and cured meats was an unusual one and we already knew this trip was going to be something special. As the sun rose on day 2 the Gassten rumbled into action and we vanished out of the harbour accompanied by huge cod fishing ships out towards the Fjords. The Gassten rolled with the swell as we headed across the channel to the entrance of the Fjords. After watching the sun rise we headed into the galley for breakfast and settled in for our journey to our first destination. The Food Breakfast was a great mixture of nutty, seedy porridges with fresh fruit and home comforts like scrambled eggs and bacon. Absolutely everything you need before a day in the mountains. Lunch was again absolutely everything you needed for a day out skiing. From large sandwiches, to fruit, energy bars, and awesome homemade flapjack it was an absolute lifeline on some of the longer tours. Apres Ski was one of the most unique experiences of the trip. There is nothing like skiing right back to the boat, before jumping on board to have
32
a few beers on the bow accompanied by homemade cakes and flap jacks. Dinner always consisted of 3 courses and was a great mix of local and international dishes. Emily the chef has created a tasty menu using fresh ingredients that resembles that of an athletes diet. Loads of carbs, and proteins to fuel you through the day.
“It is total hero snow, there is no chance of the tips diving you just float perfectly over the top” The Skiing Words will never do the skiing on this trip any justice. In the 5 days before we arrived it snowed nearly 2 metres, we assumed this was a bit of a one off occurrence but our guide assured us that February and Early March are often like that. Living in the Alps has acclimatised us to gorgeous scenery and stunning views from our doorstep but nothing can prepare you for the Fjords. 1500m peaks rise straight up from the waters edge and tower over you. The steeper faces where groaning under the strain from the weight of the fresh snow. Occassionally they bowed to the pressure and we could watch avalanches charge down and out across the water in front of us. If living and travelling around the Fjords by boat is not cool enough on its own when the time comes to go a shore it gets cooler. You transfer from the Gassten into a fast boat and jet across the water to your starting point. It really feels like something from a Bond movie. Some days we skinned right from the waters edge. While this was always possible, it was not always practical so our guide would call the local farmer to come and grab us in his tractor to take us the first few hundred meters up.
WELCOME!
The fjord scenery is like nothing else while not as high as the Alps or other mountain ranges being able to see right down to sea level gives you a real sense of height that you just don’t get from so many mountains. Most days we climbed around 1400m. That is the same as climbing the empire state building 3.5 times each day. When climbing at least a 1000m each day kit is crucial. The amount of snow we had received right before our arrival was on one hand absolutely incredible but on the other a hazard that we had to manage very carefully. Such a huge amount of snow over a small duration had left the avalanche risk at considerable.
“I felt like a kid in a candy shop” Thankfully our guide Oscar is engaged to one of the top avalanche forecasters in the area and is also himself a very highly regarded avalanche expert. With this knowledge we were able to safely navigate the mountains and while we had to ski slightly mellower terrain the snow was perfect. The salt in the snow made it unlike anything we have ever skied before. The salt helps the snow bond and creates a really solid feeling underfoot. It is total hero snow, there is no chance of the tips diving you just float perfectly over the top. The weirdest part is it is still light and fluffy. We felt like superstars. “I felt like a kid in a candy shop who had been told they could have anything they wanted but only one, there is so much terrain here and we have barely been able to explore any of it.” After a break at the top we skied back through perfect powder every day. With views right back down to the boat that was waiting to whisk us off to our next stop there is nothing like it. Forget rushing up for first tracks, everywhere we skied ours were the only tracks.

CHARITABLE WORK
BUY ONE GIVE ONE
Here at New Gen we want to create a team where people are willing and able to share and combine their talents and passions. The success of this community lies in the values based way we work together, how we approach the daily highs and challenges of running our business and fostering an environment of development and growth. This drive for development and positive change is at the heart of everything we do, from working with our clients in the ski school to our instructor training programs, our own skiing and the way we run our courses. But it also goes beyond this; we really want to create positive change in the industry in which we work but also in the world. We believe that businesses have enormous power to create positive change if they integrate charitable giving into our daily activates. Because of this New Generation has become a life long member of Buy1Give1 (B1G1), a Social enterprise and non profit organization, which links us to over 600 charities across the globe. Through B1G1 we are able to support small grass roots organisations, which are doing amazing work in some of the poorest countries in the world. We love working with B1G1 because it allows us to choose a different cause to support each month, meaning we can adapt our giving to keep it meaningful and relevant to the work which we are doing. For example, during half term holidays we have chosen to support children’s education project so that for every child who skis with us, a child across the globe gets to attend school. In weeks where we have had a lot a women booked into our ski school we have chosen to support women’s rights projects on their behalf. At the start of the season, while all the staff at New Gen began to pack up our winter wear in preparation for the snow we donated warm winter clothing to children in Ukraine so they too were prepared to face the winter weather. On behalf of everyone who joined our instructor training programmes, we were able to sponsor a day of education for disadvantaged children in
34
Cambodia. This meant that for every day a student was training with us a child in Cambodia had the opportunity to attend school. Sponsoring this day of schooling for each day of training received by our students allowed us to provide over 16 years of education to children who would otherwise have been deprived of this right. We are also pleased to have been able to support some of the numerous refugees currently living in camps across Europe. We did this by donating all of our old uniforms and more warm winter equipment to Red Cross managed refugee camps in France and Italy. We love being able to have such a positive impact beyond the work that we do with our own students and are currently reviewing what programs we can sponsor on behalf of our future training teams.
CHARITABLE WORK
OUR IMPACT SO FAR... We constantly change and update our giving triggers. In fact just ordering this brochure triggered us to donate a book to a library for under privileged children in Bombay. Up to May 2016 we have managed to make a big impact on the lives of people around the world. Thank you for helping us continue this work.

BASI LEVEL 3 ISIA TRAINING The step from BASI level 2 to BASI level 3 (ISIA) is a big one but with the help of our BASI trainers, students will be coached towards the key modules. This hard and intense but extremely effective ISIA fast track training course prepares students for the Alpine BASI level 3 (ISIA) Technical, Teaching, Off-Piste Mountain Safety and Alpine Performance Modules. You will also study French to ensure you are working towards passing your language exams. Choosing your ISIA training course is a big decision. We believe that our BASI level 3 ISIA fast track training programmes
in Courchevel, Meribel, Morzine and Val D’Isere give you complete training before going on to take your BASI level 3 Ski Instructor qualification. The course is at the heart of our ski school and puts students in the perfect environment not just to pass their level 3 exams but to take their career to the next level. The New Generation Alpine BASI level 3 ISIA training has a high success rate and often feeds its graduates in to our Swiss and Austrian ski schools.

STUDENT STORY
Current involvement with the ski school? I work for New Generation ski school in Villars as part of the work and train team. Current qualifications: BASI Level 2 Other experience: I am a Creative Director working in user interface design Future ambitions: To be part of a great training team and ski school family Courses completed with New Generation: • Courchevel 10 week BASI 1 and 2 • Villars ISIA training What were you doing before you took your first course with New Gen? I am a Creative Director working in user interface design, I have my own limited company and contract for an experience design agency in the middle of London. Born in Germany, it wasn’t that far to the mountains and my parents took me skiing for the first time when I was 5 years old. From that age onwards I went twice a year for a week, first with family, later with school and then with friends. Before I moved to the UK I lived in Munich, Germany, for 4 years, which even allowed me to ski at weekends throughout the whole season. What made you decide to take an instructors course? It all started in Verbier when I booked onto an off-piste course with NewGen in March 2014.
I was lucky that all the others that had booked onto the course had to cancel at short notice so I had a one-2-one for 2 hours on a bluebird day. While the instructor Jamie showed me how to leave perfect tracks hopping through the snow like a bunny, we started chatting about life as a ski instructor. It’s been always my dream to spend a season on snow and I was curious to hear what it takes. That’s when Jamie told me about the New Gen Residential Courses and said I should come to Verbier the year after. I wasn’t quite sure if I was good enough, but he was convinced that if I was open to change and able to get rid of old bad habits I could do it. I was hooked… Back in the office in London I had such bad holiday blues that I occupied myself looking into the details of the course and two weeks later I had booked. Did you always know you wanted to do this as a career or was it more of a gap year More of a gap year or in my case you would probably call it a sabbatical. I wanted to know what it’s like to live in the mountains, being able to ski every day and as a bonus improve my skiing.
“I have received an incredible amount of support throughout my journey – physically, mentally, emotionally and financially”
What were your highs and lows of your first season? Highs: 2 weeks of ski school shadowing. I had two four year old beginner girls in my first week. We had to be quite inventive to teach them something that’s potentially quite technical, but by the end of the week we went down a green run and the girls used a button lift on the their own. Success! There was nothing more rewarding than hearing the girls happily squeak and giggle as they followed us down the mountain. That’s when I was hooked and knew that this is what I want to do for a living… In my second week I was lucky enough to ski around with the Freeriders (10-13 yrs, Freeride is for kids who are already excellent parallel skiers on all pistes from green to black). No run was steep enough, everything was fun, playful and sometimes even for me quite a challenge. General highs are obviously waking up on a bluebird day, leaving first tracks on the slopes after it has been snowing all night and when you realise that your skiing has changed for the better. Lows: I guess the lows are the obvious ones. When you think you will never be able to ski better, when people injure themselves and when I did not pass my level 2 first time. Although in hindsight not passing opened up many opportunities. I went to Hintertux in April for the resit and besides improving my technique and finally passing, I met a lot of great people, some of them from NewGen Villars

STUDENT STORY
where I will be spending next season… What you did after your first season? After our gap course a lot of us rented a chalet for a week to just ski around and have some fun together. After that I went back to my job in London and started planning next season. Did you always intend to return to do Level 3 training? No, not at all. Three things had an influence on it. Having structured practice with the level 3s in Courchevel as part of our training there gave us the opportunity to see what they are doing in their training. Secondly I was lucky enough to shadow Alessandro Cambon (level 3 trainer in Villars) and James Lawson (level 3 trainer in La Tania), talking to them I got more insight into what the training would be like and reassured me that I could do it if I put enough work in. And last but not least I met some people who had done the work and train last season. Everyone was really helpful and answered a lot of questions I had regarding the programme. What you are looking forward to about going to Villars? What’s not to look forward to when spending a season on snow, living in the mountains, being part of a great training team and ski school family? Everything! If I have to pick one thing I’m looking forward to the most, then it is probably the moment when it clicks and I learn how to tackle moguls – you can’t cheat the bumps! I love mogul pistes
40
and this bit of training will be hard but rewarding once completed. My Friends, family, all the people I have met through New Gen and anyone I have skied with in the past few years have had a great influence on the pathway I have chosen. I have received an incredible amount of support throughout my journey – physically, mentally, emotionally and financially. I think it helps having a great support network like I have had.

BASI LEVEL 4 ISTD TRAINING This BASI Level 4 Training programme has gone from strength to strength over recent years and is now totally unique. It encompasses everything you will need to pass your ISTD. We don’t just dabble in a few hours here and there; so many instructors take this approach and it just doesn’t work. The ISTD is a huge jump up from ISIA and has a very low pass rate. If
you are committed to becoming a full BASI Level 4 ISTD instructor then you have to commit to training. The training is run by Tom Waddington and Jon Ahlsen, and there are guest training weeks from the likes of Jas Bruce and Dave Morris. The reputation of this course and team speaks for itself. 16/17 sees further development of the off hill, mental and physical preparation for exams.
