Leave a Review Big Picture Skiing
Simply the Best
I think Tom puts out by far the best substantive instruction. The quality of the videos and the content are unparalleled. BPS has made me a far better and happier skier. I can’t thank Tom enough.RWS US
Best ski learning tool out there
Great to have BPS as an app on the phone to take on the hill or during breaks at work!Gdizzlefresh
Transformed my skiing
I’ve been skiing a long time, I can ski almost the entire mountain, but I was having trouble with turn initiation. I started with these videos and realized I really didn’t know how to turn! It’s taken a whole season but now I can carve a turn from top to bottom and, more importantly, rip! I ski so much faster now. Can’t wait for next season.Show lessDsmith950

Thanks for the review. Keep up the great work with your skiingThey changed the layout
They recently changed the layout both here and the website. Now as a beginner I’m lost. Before they had it laid out so that I could start with the fundamentals and logically progress. Now…. Just a bunch of videos with ZERO logical place to start. I guess if your already somewhat skilled then you probably know what videos to watch to get more advanced. If your starting out… look elsewhere for your $50 a month. What a let down.Show lessjason ravel
Change your skiing and the way you think about skiing
I am PSIA instructor working towards my level 2. The way Tom Gellie presents his content really resonates with me. Every time he he starts a sentence with “common problem” it is like he is talking directly to me. My understanding of how and what body parts are used to get different outcomes of ski performance has grown by leaps and bounds. Definitely watch each video several times as you do pick up on more nuances each time.
The way he presents the material is a great model for a ski instructor. I really understand the how and the why he chooses specific drills as well as the feelings you may be looking for. Ultimately, how you integrate it into your regular skiing. The explanations are detailed but easy to understand. Something that I am working on in my own teaching.
On top of that there is great content for practicing movements off snow as well as conditioning. (Some of that content has and extra cost but you have lifetime access). There is also good content about equipment, particularly, on. Ski boot set up. I am now acutely aware that my boot set up needs work and I have the language needed to share with a boot fitter to hopefully get the results I am looking for.
This is a great value!Show lessSteinbergD

Ski with a pro in your pocket
By far the best ski instruction online out there. Have learned more in one year than I have in 20 years of ski instruction.Africafish

That’s the goal! Thanks for leaving a review, I really appreciate it. TomReally improving my skiing
I’m a visual learner, so it really helps me to watch these videos. I then have a friend video me, and while the comparison is NOT flattering, I can tell what I need to work on. Also, it’s really helpful to know exactly what I should be doing, so when I do it right, I know that was the right technique and not something that just felt better. I also like that, rather than tell me what I’m doing wrong, this approach focuses on progressively doing things right in a manner that makes sense to me. It makes skiing with friends more fun because even if I’m on terrain I might find less than challenging, I always have something to work on.Show lessBig Picture Skiing App
This app has everything I need from Big Picture Skiing right on my phone. The many training videos cover every ski topic you can imagine and are well organized and easy to find.
As a second year student in the BPS Ski Academy and a student in the Body Prep Academy this past summer, I can’t say enough good things. Tom Gellie has put all of his amazing talent to work to create a super fun, highly instructive, online ski school for every level of skier.
While skiing I use the BPS app as a ski coach to assist with skiing various terrain, conditions, checking body alignment, drills and of course lessons on whatever I’m currently working on.
At home I use the BPS app to do ski related body prep exercises, pre ski warmups, and more in-depth video ski instruction.
Tom Gellie and his team have done a great job of condensing their lifetimes worth of high level ski training and making it easily accessible for the rest of us. I highly recommend Big Picture Skiing for every level of skier.Show lessErica Thorson

Thanks Erica. We love having you in our programs.BPS iPhone App
I love the ease of use and how it compliments the website. There’s a short video that explains how to navigate the content and it’s worth watching.
The ability to watch videos off line allows me to review what I am going to practice, especially in areas where I have no cell reception. The custom “playlist” makes it super easy to watch videos that build on a topic.
The Community section made me think “oh no, not another social media bashing opportunity”, but people actually post useful questions and insights.Show lessski_mac
