THE ULTIMATE - MENS DOWNHILL SKIING - KITZBÜHEL JAN 2027

About this course

THE ULTIMATE — MENS DOWNHILL SKIING — KITZBÜHEL JAN 2027 Join me in Kitzbühel, Austria for one of the most thrilling events in world sport — the Hahnenkamm men's downhill race on the infamous Streif course. This is a unique opportunity to photograph the world's best male downhill skiers as they launch themselves down the most demanding and spectacular course on the World Cup circuit. The Streif is legendary: the start house, the Mausefalle jump, the compression, the steep ice and the finish straight all offer extraordinary picture possibilities. Over three days you will have the chance to shoot Mens Downhill and Super G training as they prepare for the legendary Kitzbühel the race itself, with Mark on hand throughout to help with camera settings, positioning, panning techniques, exposure in snow and how to capture the sheer speed and drama of downhill ski racing. Kitzbühel is a stunning setting and the race week brings a fantastic buzz to the town. There will be time to explore different vantage points on the mountain, work on your action photography and also capture the colour and character of the event. Dates and final price are to be confirmed. Please email me at mark@sportsphotographyschool.co.uk to register your interest and I will send full details as soon as they are confirmed. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CANCELLATION OF THE EVENT DUE TO ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS.
