Learn to ski the easy way
With the short ski method
Learning parallel turn even before the ski course at the InfoEve
Learning to fall and stand up on a mattress
Boot Fitting During an Info Eve
Using ankle width too
InfoEve
Before the course starts, you meet at a specified ubahn station to go to Ken’s flat for an InfoEve to
- discuss the ski course and its costs in detail
- do some easy indoor ski exercises
- fit and reserve skiboots.
- signup for specific ski course weekends (or not)
The InfoEve is free, non-binding and you need not put any money up front for the ski course. Even if you are skeptical, you should come along to an InfoEve and see for yourselves how easy and fun learning to ski can be when you use the short ski method. You can't bring kids or any tagalongs to the InfoEve. The InfoEve takes about 3 hours; it is your first ski lesson and it's free. The earlier your InfoEve, the wider selection of boots and the wider selection of ski couse dates you have. Last ski season each InfoEve was fully booked only two minutes after the InfoEve announcement, so don't delay.
BOOTFITTING
One of the big advantages we have over other learn-to-ski programms is that we fit boots in advance of the ski course at the InfoEve. The boots you choose at bootfitting are then reserved for you for the entire season. This means you need not get up early to queue up for boots Saturday morning and then under pressure that the lifts are already running you take any boot they give you even if it already hurts in the shop.
We measure your feet especially for ski boots taking into account the width of your ankle and heel. This helps us give you a good first try boot and guides us at custom fitting the inner bootliner to your foot. You should bring the socks you plan to ski with to the InfoEve. Supermarkets often have skisocks on special in the autumn (get your ski socks a couple of sizes too small so they don't sag, crease and hurt your feet).
If you already have skiboots, that's grand too; you will then use your own boots at the InfoEve but you need to bring them with you to the InfoEve. We find an equivalent on our boot rack that has the same outer length so we can use the equivalent boot to set your bindings each week.
Adult Beginner Weekend Ski Course
NOT JUST ANY SKI COURSE
This is not just any ski course. We use the short ski method. We start first-time-skiers with supershort skis (just a tad longer than the boot) and direct parallel turn. (With short skis you needn't learn the snowplough.) Each day of ski class you progress to slightly longer skis. Everyone can learn to ski because we start with such short skis and we learn by goofing off and playing silly games. We learn as a group; we travel as a group. It's like a school trip. The most fun you've had since you were a kid.
EQUIPMENT, TRANSPORT, LODGING, ALL IN
You might think it easier to just show up at a ski resort near Munich and go for a ski lesson, but it’s not easier. You arrive late morning, queue up to fit boots, queue up to get skis and queue up to sign up for ski class. It could be afternoon before you finally start your ski lesson and it may even be a bad ski resort for beginners. If you go with us, you get two full days of ski lessons, you take your already fitted ski boots and your already fitted skis; the skis custom made for beginners and selected and labeled for you. And we start you on terrain ideal for beginners. We have after all chosen the best ski resorts for beginners near Munich in the Austrian Alps.
WEEKEND SKI COURSE
For some weeknds we go away for the entire weekend; leave Munich FriEve 18:30, at a specified München Ubahn Station to leave for the Learn To Ski weekends. You return from the alps to Munich at an sbahn or ubahn station convenient for your driver.
For those weekends that we dont have beds at our lodging we make day trips. Either way Parallel Skiing Munich provides ski equipment, organises ski passes, transport from Munich with car sharing and provides lodging at the ski resort in Austria if we are staying over.
When we stay over, we get extra value from our commons room from the evenings spent together analyzing our skiers' ski technique on videos taken that day and planning the next day.
PLANNING YOUR WEEKENDS
You do need to be able to plan ahead, keep your appointments and attend entire weekends. We travel together, everyone at the same time. You sign up for specific weekends at your InfoEve. If your boss can tell you on Friday afternoon that you must travel at the weekend, you shouldn't book a ski course with Parallel Skiing.
2025 ADULT BEGINNER SKI COURSE WEEKENDS
Adult beginner ski lessons stretch over the 1st six weekends of the new year.Our beginner ski course is divided into three weekends. You choose how many weekends and which weekends from those six weefends that you attend.
• 3 Jan - 5 Jan
• 10 Jan - 12 Jan
• 17 Jan - 19 Jan
• 24 Jan - 26Jan
• 31 Jan - 2 Feb
• 7 Feb - 9 Feb
Our adult ski course weekends don't coincide with our kids ski courses. We have no courses at which parents and kids learn at the same time. We dont take kids or any tagalongs to our adult ski course weekends. We don't offer private ski lessons; we need all of our instructors for group ski courses.
COSTS FOR SKI WEEKENDS
We discuss the ski course costs in detail at the InfoEve. The InfoEve itself is free and non-binding. Suffice it to say that Parallel Skiing is cheaper than the Munich ski schools.
But the big advantage in the cost of our beginner ski course is that with our short ski method you will learn so much faster that you dont need as many ski lessons before you can ski the whole resort on your own and with parallel turns. And Parallel Skiing Munich is the only beginner ski course in Munich that uses the short ski method with direct parallel.
CONTACT PARALLEL SKIING
If you're interested please contact Parallel Skiing Munich to get on our mailing list. Once you have confirmed adding parallel_skiing@gmx.com to your contacts list, I'll put you on the mailing list to get InfoEve announcements. You will get very specific instructions how to meet up at the given München Ubahn station before your InfoEve.
Adult Advanced Weekend
if you already ski black slopes you can take the AdvWE at the 2nd weekend in March. To signup for the AdvWE you must first add Parallel Skiing to your contacts and ask to be put on the advanced list. Then you will get the AdvWE announcement in mid Feb. You must reply then to that email to signup for the advanced weekend. If you're not quite that good but you can already ski parallel turns on blue slopes, you could also start as a 2ndweekender in the normal beginner course.
