Teaching Style
UCPA teaching style is different to the private instruction you may have experienced before. You spend much more time with your instructor/guide and the group therefore it's much less formal, less intense and more fun. Of course you will be learning but this isn't 'ski school' it's all about boarding, having fun, challenging yourself and learning the skills and knowledge to become safer in the mountains.
Equipment
You will be provided with a splitboard, boots, transceiver, shovel and probe. For more advanced courses harnesses and climbing gear will be provided too.
Social
One of the nicest things about a UCPA holiday is the social aspect - it's a great way to meet new people through sharing good sporting times together. Whether you travel by yourself, or with friends you're sure to make some great new friendships through the week.
One thing you can be sure of is that you'll be with a great bunch of like minded people and with one of the best instructors on the mountain.
