What: The same 3 popular Weekend Ski School sessions in Classic or Skate. Only on a Wednesday! Each session is 90 minutes with an optional group ski afterwords. The sessions are progressive, starting with the important double pole movement and body position then progressing to more advanced parts of each technique as the sessions go on. You also receive opportunities to ask questions and see demos of ski tuning and care. Also some "homework" each week- drills and exercises to work on during the time between sessions.
Also included is an extensive in-clinic movement assessment with a Nordic focus with our partner, Move Better.
When:
| Skate | Wednesdays- 1/8,15,22, make up/extra credit 1/29 | 11 AM |
| Classic | Wednesdays- 2/5, 2/12, 2/19, 2/26 | 11 AM |
Where: At Teacup! We will meet in front of the snowmobile and waxing shed near the bathrooms and then move out into the trail system for the proper terrain to work on the days topic.
Who: The Sessions are for Adult experienced novice and intermediate groups. At this time we do not offer first time on skis, beginner lessons. Sessions take place throughout the trail system, so you must be able to ski to get there! Here are some definitions of experienced novice and intermediate ability levels so you can be sure this is right for you:
Experienced Novice- You are new to Nordic skiing but have been a handful of times or you have been away for awhile. You can ski from place to place on most of the Teacup trail system but have a desire to ski athletically and improve. You likely already have taken some lessons and are familiar with the basics and have (or have access to) performance oriented gear. Our team is experienced and led by US Ski and Snowboard Certified Nordic Ski Coaches. We will get you moving with confidence and knowledge to ski effectively and efficiently this season and beyond!
Intermediate- You are confident of the basics, and are able to ski all of the Teacup trail system but want to ski faster and explore proper technique. You feel like there is something more you could gain with learning modern ski technique, skills and training.
Email kelly@teacupnordic.org to discuss this or any other questions.
Why Move Better? One of the things we love about Nordic skiing is the workout and challenge it gives for the whole body. Nordic skiing takes some practice and self awareness in your body. Move Better does exactly that. They have taken their movement based medicine model of medical care and applied it to the sport of Nordic skiing. Clinic sessions provide a space without distractions to focus the quality and awareness of your movement so you can feel what Nordic skiing should feel like. Not only useful for the self awareness (being your own coach), now the Coaches and you have a common language in talking about ways to move and things to pay attention to once we are on snow!
A trail pass (day or season) is required for adults participating in Programs.
