Using the site

How the site works.

Can I have online ski lessons with Darren?
Yes. You film a few turns on your phone and send them to me, and I coach you online from your video — a voice-over, marked-up stills, reference clips and a written plan of solutions, then a Progress Check-In once you’ve practised. See how it works on the Video Analysis page.
How do I start with Darren?
A Personal Ski Assessment comes with membership. Go to the Video Analysis page or the membership page, choose DT Ski Hub or DT Ski Hub Plus, and Darren personally reviews your skiing.
How should I film my skiing?
Two or three short clips is all I need. Show your whole body, your skis and several turns in a row. The best angle is side-on, filming as you approach, pass and ski away — filming from behind as you follow someone is useful too. A phone held steadily by a friend is perfect.
What do I get back?
A personal breakdown from me: a narrated voice-over of your skiing, stills marked up with what I want you to see, reference clips to watch, and solutions and a written plan for your next time on snow. Everything is built around your goals, your level and where you ski.
Can I send more video after my first assessment?
Yes. If I ask for more footage, or once you've tried the suggestions and want the next round of comments, you can add another video to the same assessment. There's nothing more to pay.
Do I need to be a member?
No — a Personal Ski Assessment is available to anyone. Membership adds the year-round coaching: the lesson library, monthly live Coaching Clinics, Notes on Skiing and member discounts. Compare memberships
How do I use the members area?
Sign in and you land in your member area. There you'll find the coaching library with a new lesson each month, recordings of past Coaching Clinics, your Notes on Skiing, and — if you've had an assessment — your video library with every round of feedback from me.
Does everything work on my phone?
Yes. You can film, upload your clips, watch your marked-up feedback and listen to my voice notes all from your phone. Everything is built to work on iPhone and Android first.

Membership through the summer

Why members stay through the summer.

Why keep my membership in the summer?
Because the summer is the cheapest, easiest way to stay in the game. While you're a member you keep:
  • a reduced price while you're off the snow
  • your history — every video, every round of feedback, every marked-up still, all in one place
  • your place in the club. I can only coach a certain number of people, and that place is held while you're a member
  • discounts on summer camps
  • kit reviews — send me your gear and I'll tell you what's helping and what isn't
  • live Q&A sessions with me, plus the coaching library and Notes on Skiing

The snow is off your feet, so you can train the movement, balance and understanding behind your skiing without the pressure of a lift queue — and arrive next winter already ahead of where you left off.

What do I actually get through the off-season?
The coaching library stays open all year, with a new premium lesson every month and recordings of every Coaching Clinic. I run live Q&A sessions through the summer so you can ask me about your skiing, your training or your kit, and kit reviews are part of membership — send me your gear and I'll tell you what's helping and what isn't. Members also get early access and discounts on summer camps and other coaching, which is exactly when camps and indoor work are most useful.
Will I lose my videos and progress if I leave?
Everything you send and everything I send back lives in your account — your videos, my feedback, your marked-up stills and every round of coaching. That's true whether you've had one assessment or you're a member. Staying in the club keeps all of it in one place, and my coaching builds on your history, so the longer we work together, the more specific the feedback gets.
Is there a limited number of places?
Yes. I keep the club small enough that I can be genuinely involved — in the coaching clinics, the feedback and the camps. That means places are limited, and if you leave, rejoining isn't guaranteed while the club is full.
Can I cancel?
Yes, you can cancel at any time — I'd rather you stay because it's working than because you can't leave. But if you're planning a summer off, ask yourself what next winter's you would want: the skiers who improve fastest are the ones who keep working through the off-season.
