It's the third time that Kieran has taken part in the competition course at  Val Thorens. He loves the atmosphere and the instructors!

You ask; we answer!

What equipment do I need for the course?
Giant slalom skis adapted to your level (ask a sports store for advice), back protection and helmet.
Do I need to buy a ski lift pass?
