Nervous, hesitant, or worried you can’t do it?
We help you step onto the snow calm, confident, and ready to enjoy every run.

Transferable results: Confidence gained translates to everyday life, work, and family.
Premium, small intake: Limited slots for personal attention and the best results.
Our Mission
We exist for anyone who is nervous, unsure, or told they can’t do it.
We know the frustration. And we know the joy that comes once fear is replaced by confidence.
Our goal is simple:
Build confidence, overcome fear, and enjoy skiing, while gaining skills you will use every day.

FAQs
Do you teach skiing online?
No. We focus on mindset and confidence, so your on-slope lessons and time skiing with friends and family will be far more effective and enjoyable.
Who is this for?
Nervous adult skiers, those returning after a period of time away from the slopes. If you’re not sure the sessions are right for you, contact us with any questions hello@abovethecloud.org. We’d love to see how we can help.
How long before my trip should I start?
Ideally 4 to 8 weeks, but we can be flexible. If you don’t see a course or dates that suit you, then please get in touch.
How do I book?
Use the ‘Book Exploratory Chat’ button or directly book the group coaching sessions via this website.
How many sessions do I need?
Most clients start noticing results after two to three sessions.
What if I’m terrified of skiing?
That’s exactly who this is for. We go step by step, at your pace.
Can I do this if my trip isn’t until next year?
Yes. Building confidence early makes your eventual ski or snowboard lessons and holiday far more enjoyable.
