Tech Tune Up
ON-SNOW COURSE
The ultimate technical reset
Open up to transformation, ride with like minded people of a similar level.
On the “Tech Tune-Up” course, you’ll refine every movement with a complete technical overhaul.
The difference between good and great riding lies in having the knowledge to understand the subtle adjustments – the way you stand and move, how the board responds, and rhythm you find with the snow and mountain terrain shape. I’ll guide you through this at the highest level.
Whether you’re looking to unlock more flow, learn new skills, ride harder terrain, or simply ride more efficiently so you fatigue less and enjoy more – it all starts here with technique done right.

THE RIDING
We'll ride all terrain on the best snow. On-piste we'll work on tasks like; carving, switch, steeps, variables, bumps and grip turns. We'll also explore side piste terrain and powder, should the conditions allow.
Attune to your body's natural intelligence
Not forced – flexible, focused, connected and free!
I bring over 25 years of elite coaching – grounded in biomechanics, sports science and snow specific performance training.
My method isn’t about gimmicks, it’s about transformation: you’ll leave feeling lighter, sharper, stronger, more in sync with your body, board and terrain.
Technical Snowboarding made simple
PERFORMANCE focused. SCIENCE led. SOUL driven

Why this course matters
Too many riders plateau because they don’t address the foundations – they push harder with flawed mechanics and get stuck at the same level, fatigue faster, risk injury, avoid difficult snow or off-piste and eventually loose the joy. By investing in a technique overhaul you’ll ride smarter, longer, safer.
This course fast tracks your progression by giving you the tools to self-analyse and self-correct. You won’t just rely on a coach for fixes – you’ll know what to adjust next time you ride. This is how you build confidence, longevity and resilience, not just fast gains that drop away.
Imagine riding more terrain, in more varied snow, feeling confident, controlled and free. That’s the outcome we are aiming for.
After the course
YOU’LL TAKE HOME
* a clear pathway or roadmap to your longterm goals by gaining clarity on the next steps to achieve your next level with self assurance and confidence.
* a strong technical knowledge to know how to achieve a higher riding level by understanding the theory behind it.
* confidence as a rider by understanding how to analyise, diagnose and fix your faults.

CLIENT REVIEWS
What people say?
Renelle is probably one of the most amazing instructors I have ever met! She is passionate, driven and joyful all in one. She has made me feel confident not only as an adaptive instructor (second discipline) but as a rider overall. The techniques and methods she uses will be stuck in my mind for as long as I teach. She is the main reason why I am switching back over to BASI to be the best Instructor I can be.
Max Alcock
Basi level 3 aspirant
I took a BASI course with Renelle and found her teaching style and character to be utterly inspiring. I was was lucky enough to train with her the following year for Level 3 prep. Her passion for teaching is so unique and her ability to sense out and refine movements within my snowboarding is incredible. She has a truly special eye for snowboarding and delivers her lesson with constructive feedback, non stop fun and elevated energy.
