A year-round club for people who want to ski for life
A trauma and orthopaedic consultant and a ski mindset coach, one membership, access to their expertise and programmes. Join a community of people planning each and every season to be their best.
Why we exist
One of the people who shaped this club is 78 and just finished his 70th season. A friend’s instructor has a client who is 91 and has already booked next winter’s off-piste week.
They didn’t get lucky. They got strong, learned how their bodies work, kept their nerve and had people around them. That’s the whole idea — and the sooner you start, the longer you ski.
The four pillars
S·K·I·S is the framework behind everything in the club: Strength and Knowledge from Sven, Inner confidence and Support from Lou.

Try the six-week build before your next trip. The club runs all year: the build again every autumn, the rest of the pillars whenever you need them.
Inside the club
Short films from Sven’s studio and Lou’s coaching room, a library you can dip into all year, and a live Q&A with Sven, Lou and guests every month.
Around four hours of video to start — strength sessions, mindset tools, kit and first-day know-how — and new films every month.
Three 12-minute sessions a week, home or gym. Do it every autumn; it’s the tangible part.
Webinars with Sven, Lou and alpine industry leaders. Bring your questions; each one is recorded for the library.
A question box inside your account. Not a consultation — a club.
Two people. Two services.
Ski For Life™ is where Louise Pode’s coaching and Sven Ski Clinic meet. You get the club; behind it sit two specialist services you can step into whenever you need more.

“Most people stop skiing because of anxiety nobody helped them through.”
The Inner confidence and Support pillars come from Lou’s coaching practice. If the club scratches the surface and you want to go deeper, her one-to-one and retreat work is there.
Consultant Trauma & Orthopaedic Surgeon · Bristol
“I’d rather you never needed me.”
The Strength and Knowledge pillars come from Sven’s clinic. If something does go wrong on the mountain, Sven Ski Clinic runs the pathway from the piste to the scan to the specialist.
Ski For Life is the club in the middle: one membership, four pillars, both people. Need more? Step across to Lou for coaching or to Sven Ski Clinic for cover and care — and come back to the club in between.
