A year-round club for people who want to ski for life
It’s something you prepare for. A knee surgeon and a ski mindset coach, one membership, and a whole tribe of people planning to still be on the snow at 80.
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.

Membership runs all year. The strength build takes six weeks — the rest of the pillars are there 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 letter once a 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.
What Sven has been reading, what Lou has been seeing, and one thing to try before your next trip.
A question box inside your account. Not a consultation — a club.
How the films fit
Sven films in his home studio and Lou in her coaching room. Every film has a home on the site and a job to do — and the same footage feeds YouTube and social to bring people back.
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.
Ski mindset coach · former NHS and military physiotherapist
“Most people stop skiing because of a wobble 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 knee 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.
