Reno/Tahoe Services

We are a year round indoor training facility. Depending on your mountain goals we can work one on one or with a group. We offer lessons exclusively on Snow Biste or in combination with a fitness program. We then transition your skills to the mountain with experienced instruction that builds on your indoor experience. We sell multi session and season passes for Snow Biste training. Our facility is easy to get to located within Sierra Strength & Speed located off of Longley near the Fitness Connection.

Every new client goes through a one hour Foundation session. We want to make sure you have a firm foundation to build upon, whether you’re new to the sport or a seasoned veteran. We teach and communicate utilizing terminology that is standard in the industry. We build upon your previous sport and exercise experience to grow your knowledge in mountain sports.  Then we get you on the ski deck to begin your familiarization of the surface and start teaching our curriculum.

By the end of this foundational session you will know how to move forward, stop, and have a basic understanding of terminology as well as basic success techniques for your first day on the mountain.

Individual Training: 

Snowbiste snowboard
Choose Snowboarding or Skiing

Learning skills that take many people a lifetime just isn’t possible for busy people that balance a family and career.  Our standard skills proposition is called the Success Package.  It includes a one hour Foundation session plus four half hour private lessons enabling you to conquer the slopes faster than ever before.

For those ready to get on the slopes as quick as possible we offer a basic winter success package that includes one Foundational session (prior to going up to the mountain) followed by one half hour session to be taken within the first two days of skiing.

Our one on one teaching method has the coach supporting and teaching while standing in front of you as you ski on the Snow Biste. Being in front of you we can control your learning speed with instantaneous feedback while avoiding bad habits.  To learn more click here.

Group Training:

Group Training

Some people perform better within a group environment. Having your friends or family to push and cheer you on gets some athletes moving faster and with more confidence. We can work with groups of two to eight.   Groups of 3 or more include a fitness training circuit that provides balance, endurance and strength training. The Snow Biste deck can safely hold more than one skier . Learn more about Individual Training.

Mountain Lessons:

Mountain lessons for skiers of all ages.

Once you have proficiently passed the Green Level of our curriculum sign up for an On-Mountain transition.  The program includes a transitional session that takes the knowledge from your indoor training sessions and brings you out to the mountain for the first time.  We know a great deal about your ability and can get you on the slopes faster than anyone else.  We want you to be successful, graduate and  become a regular at our Tahoe ski resorts.

Even though the Snow Biste ski deck is a good year round training environment, some skills need to be learned on the mountain. Those skills include mogul skiing (bumps), powder, terrain parks, weather and varied terrain are a few.  This fun day of skiing on the hill can include up to 2 of your friends.   To learn more call us directly or click here about Mountain Lessons.

Group Fitness:

Not every session need be on the deck. Kris has developed fifteen exercises that help build a skier’s ski muscles, strengthens the body overall, and builds endurance.  To learn more about Group Fitness.

Corporate/Private Events:

The Snow Biste was designed to be portable. This most unique of services brings new life and excitement to your private or corporate event. Give your employees the chance to learn to ski in a safe environment. The Snow Biste moves at pace slow enough for children to enjoy and fast enough to keep adults and experience athletes having major fun factor. To learn more Corporate/Private Events.

Conquer the mountains before ever stepping foot on them!

Kris Buttenberg, at Biste Technologies, has invented a truly one-of-a-kind experience in South Reno. It’s as close to skiing as you can get in the heat of a Nevada summer and we are working with him to provide access to SBA athletes over the summer. The machine demands ankle flexion and the activa… Read more

Kris, I truly appreciated having the fastest skier on the hill take time out to assist me with learning how to prepare for the race. I’m very optimistic that we’ll continue to clear up the items we’ve been working on and I’ll be quite a bit faster racing. Best Regards,

Working with Kris on the ski desk was by far the best ski learning experience I’ve had. He obviously really knows his stuff and is able to communicate it well. Skiing on the deck gave me much more intense practice and with him right there watching, he could see exactly what I was doing when and coul… Read more

The classes helped immensely!! Kellen and the twins were as good as other kids who had been skiing many more days before them this year, so it was fantastic that they could just dive right in and be at the same level. Exactly what I wanted.

My wife and I saw the article on Biste in the RGJ. We had plateaued in our skiing ability — basically being stuck at the “Advanced-minus” level for the last several years. We were ready and eager to take it to the next level. We had tried “on the mountain” lessons but were frustrated that in a one-h… Read more

Kris Buttenberg is a fabulous ski instructor. He is friendly and professional, and excellent at helping me progress quickly with fun and challenging lesson plans. He built a wonderful “Biste,” an inclined treadmill that makes it possible to ski and learn faster, even during the off season. I h… Read more

I have been skiing for four years, but have not been very confident. I signed up for lessons with Kris to address skill, control, and safe form. I have only had one lesson so far and I can’t believe the improvement! I already feel like I have a great deal more control on the slopes. Plus, I’m no… Read more

So so Happy! I’m getting it! Spent time going down Kit Carson yesterday and I could actually feel the skills, and could go back and forth many many times over(not just three!) I was swooshing and it felt natural, secondary! My hubby even said I finally looked relaxed while skiing correctly! Brian is… Read more
