Andy from Snow Camps Europe Reveals the 'Skier Insights' Quiz That Changes Coaching
The CarveCast - Ski PodcastShow Notes
🎿 Why do some skiers improve rapidly while others seem stuck on the same plateau for years?
In Episode 34 of The CarveCast, Adam is joined by Andy Rose from Snow Camps Europe to discuss Ski Insights, a brand new skier assessment designed to uncover exactly what is holding your skiing back and what you can do to improve.
Most skiers are familiar with labels such as beginner, intermediate and advanced, but do these categories really tell the whole story? Andy explains why he believes they don’t, and introduces a completely different approach to understanding skier development.
Using a simple 13 question assessment with over 67 million possible answer combinations, Ski Insights categorises skiers into profiles such as Cautious Skier, Plateaued Skier, Inconsistent Skier, Social Improver and Mileage Ready Skier. The aim is to identify the real barriers to progression and provide a clear path forward.
Adam and Andy dive deep into confidence, control, coaching, skill acquisition, plateaus, terrain, snow conditions and the common mistakes that stop skiers from reaching their potential. They discuss why confidence is often a symptom rather than the problem itself, why many skiers unknowingly remain in their comfort zones, and how different coaching environments can dramatically affect progress.
The episode also explores the benefits of ski camps versus private coaching, the value of learning alongside other skiers, and why some of the biggest breakthroughs happen when you challenge yourself on unfamiliar terrain and in difficult conditions.
Whether you’re struggling with confidence, frustrated that your skiing has stalled, or simply looking for the next step in your development, this episode is packed with practical advice, real world examples and plenty of food for thought.

🎿 One chalet. A different ski resort every day. Could this be the ultimate way to ski the French Alps? In Episode 35 of The CarveCast, I’m joined by Jules Heaton, the ski enthusiast behind Chalet Wonderland, to explore why the Tarentaise Valley makes such an exciting base for a ski safari. Jules and her husband set out to build a chalet that would give them access to the skiing they love, with space to bring friends and family together. A pandemic, delayed windows and an over-budget build later, Wonderland became a reality. We talk Val d’Isère, Tignes, Les Arcs, La Plagne, Sainte-Foy and La Rosière — plus skiing across the border to La Thuile in Italy for lunch. From huge linked ski areas to quieter tree-lined slopes, there’s an incredible amount of variety within reach of one base. ⛷️ In this episode:🏔️ Why the Tarentaise is one of my favourite ski regions🏡 The story behind building Chalet Wonderland🇮🇹 Skiing from France to Italy for lunch🌨️ Choosing a resort to suit the weather and your group🎟️ Ski à la Carte and flexible lift passes🍝 Mountain restaurants and eating well on a ski holiday🧘 Women’s ski and Pilates retreats and catered ski safaris☀️ Why the Alps are worth visiting in summer We also look ahead to my December visit, when I’m hoping to explore as much of the area as possible.
