What is SPE BALKAN SKI?



SPE – Science, Practice & Education – BALKAN SKI CONFERENCE is a merge of
curiosity (science), will of terrain work (practice) and unselfish transfer of
knowledge (education) for people who likes snowy mountains and the most
beautiful sport in the world – alpine skiing and snowboarding.

After the great experience we all had at the previous SPE BALKAN SKI
CONFERENCES, where several hundred ski instructors, coaches, professors and
other experts in the field of alpine skiing and snowboarding witnessed an
unforgettable story of exchange between science, profession, practice and social
events, we have decided to offer you a step forward to reach and exceed the SPE
Balkan SKI Goals.
