A high, clear morning on the Pirin slopes: gondolas whisper you uphill, the cold air bites and the piste opens like a blank page. Former national racers guide you through that first controlled fall, then a succession of turns that change how the mountain feels under your skis. The instruction is personal—two hours stripped of group lag, tuned to whatever you need: basic snowplow drills on blue runs, short turns and parallel technique on red pitches, or carving and off‑piste pointers for advanced skiers.
