• Have you thought of running a race course but are afraid of it?
• You have actually run a course but have “mixed” feelings about it.
• You are open to the idea that timed runs may be good benchmarks of your skill progression.

Introduce racing concepts, skills and drills into your skiing and this mountain will grow – just for you – a few thousand feet, easy.  You will ski with more control and at levels never attainable before.

• You are an aspiring racer, or have raced in the past, or participate in the NASTAR or club programs and want to improve your medal or club position, or
• Want to join the Weekend Warriors group - the type of racing and camaraderie we cannot get enough of!

Improve your balance and get outside of your "racing mode" to recognize and address identified inefficiencies in your stance or movement patterns or tactics; all that to attain new levels in speed and overall abilities.   With this perspective and open mind the mountain will "grow" several thousand feet for you - and you will save a lot of time and money training locally, while achieving racing recognition on the regional and national levels.

Format: 4-session plans; each session lasting 1.5 hours spread over time.  You pick your dates and time blocks; schedule and reschedule with a day’s notice. Other than the posted dates can be arranged. It’s that easy.
