Rock The Mountains

Ski High School. Week-long courses for adults and children, taught by ISIA-certified instructors.

The school

We teach skiing in Sheregesh, a resort in the Kemerovo region of southern Siberia, known for its long season and deep snow. The school was founded by Sergey Turikov, an ISIA-certified instructor with 29 years on skis.

Courses run for a week. Groups are small — four to five people — so that every run gets watched and corrected. Instructors use Cardo headsets on the slope: you hear the correction while you are still in the turn, not at the bottom of the run.

Every course includes video analysis. We film your runs, go through them frame by frame, and show you what your body is actually doing — which is rarely what it feels like.

Programs

All courses take place in Sheregesh unless stated otherwise.

  • Basic turns — for skiers who can already stop and turn, but not yet with confidence. Stance, pressure, timing, the shape of a turn.
  • Carving — riding on the edge, at speed, on groomed pistes.
  • Off-piste basics — soft snow, broken snow, trees, avalanche safety with a beacon in your hands rather than in a slideshow.
  • Freeride — steeper terrain, route choice, mountain judgement.
  • Children's school — ages 7 to 14, six days, groups of four.

We also run trips outside Russia: Hokkaido, Japan in January and Svaneti, Georgia in April.

Instructors

Five instructors, all certified. Sergey Turikov holds the highest ISIA category and an ISIA card — one of few in Russia. The team covers piste technique, freeride, ski touring and children's groups.

A note on booking. Our booking form, health questionnaire and contracts are in Russian, and payment is handled through Russian banking. If you are coming from outside Russia, write to us first — we will sort out the details with you directly rather than through the form.
