Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to some common questions about Big Picture Skiing. If you're wondering whether this is the right fit for you, this should help.
What is Big Picture Skiing?
Big Picture Skiing is an online learning platform for skiers who want to improve their technique and understanding of skiing. It gives you access to an extensive video library covering modern ski technique, biomechanics, and practical drills you can apply straight away on snow.It's built for independent learners who want clear, actionable coaching they can revisit anytime.
Who is Big Picture Skiing for?
Big Picture Skiing is designed for intermediate to expert skiers. If you already enjoy skiing but know there’s room to improve — whether that’s carving more effectively, skiing bumps with more control, or simply understanding what good skiing feels like — this platform is for you. It’s not for first-timers or complete beginners, but if you can already ski blue and black runs and want to keep progressing, you’ll find plenty here.
How does Big Picture Skiing help me improve?
Most skiers are shown what skiing should look like — but they’re not taught how to feel it or how to build it. Big Picture Skiing helps you do both. The videos give you clear drills, tasks, and movement ideas that you can take onto the mountain straight away. You’ll also learn how ski design and biomechanics affect performance, so you can make lasting changes to how you move on skis — not just copy shapes. The library is deep and well-organized, so you can work on exactly what your skiing needs at any level.
How do I use the platform?
You can watch Big Picture Skiing videos on any device — phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop. Many members watch lessons in the lead up to skiing. Or prepare for their season with body prep workouts and in depth technique webinars. The platform is designed to fit into your skiing life — it’s flexible and easy to use.
Is there a free trial? Can I cancel anytime?
Yes — there’s a 7-day free trial so you can explore the platform and see if it fits how you like to learn. After that, you can choose a monthly or annual membership. You can cancel anytime — there’s no lock-in.
Will this help me if I only ski a few weeks per season?
Yes — many members only ski a few weeks per season, and that’s exactly why they value Big Picture Skiing. The goal is to help you make the most of your limited ski days. You can prep with video lessons before your trip, arrive on snow with a clear focus, and continue improving even between ski trips. It’s about quality, not just quantity of time on snow.
Skiing Transformed
After two seasons with BPS my skiing has transformed and just last week when i was skiing with my buddies on our annual ski trip, my friends were blown away with how well I was skiing. In fact one of my friends said he remembered when he was better than me, and now I’m ahead of him in my abilities.

Powerful Instruction
If you’re serious about improving your skiing, you need to join BPS now. In just two years of working with Tom and the big picture video library, my skiing has reached a level I’d never dreamed of. Tom has a sophisticated understanding of biomechanics and movement dynamics. This is what makes his instruction so powerful and effective.

Best Investment Ever
I’m always highly sceptical about “best investment ever” and “changed my life” reviews but here I am writing one. Because it’s the plain truth: My skiing was completely stuck for many years in spite of seeking professional advice from quite a few skiing instructors in the Alps. Until thanks to YouTube I came across BPS. The results were amazing.
