Skiing Skills Improvement Through X-C Skating For Alpine and Telemark skiers

Prerequisites: Some X-C skating experience is recommended.

Equipment required: Alpine or Telemark equipment will be required. Skating equipment can be borrowed from the Nordic Center.

What to expect: The day will start at 8:30 am in the Northstar Village. We will ride the gondola to the Nordic Center, where we will don skating skis. The morning session will cover downhill skiing skills on that equipment and will highlight the characteristics and skills important in ski skating that are applicable and common to downhill skiing (Alpine or Telemark). The afternoon will offer participants the opportunity to explore how the skills highlighted in the morning apply in practice to their downhill skills. The entire clinic will take place on moderate runs, with the focus on games, drills, and tasks, rather than on terrain or snow condition challenges. We will be done by 3:30 pm.
