Spring Clinics

Trail Pass required for most sessions

Refine your technique this March in a series of Spring clinics. Our PSIA-certified instructors will work with you to solidify your technique. You can expect to ski 3-6 km per session at a moderate pace over mixed terrain. Bring your questions, enjoy the camaraderie, and learn new technique tips while skiing. Pick sessions that match your schedule:

• Thursday, March 5 - The Foundational Body Position: Skate

  • Every element of skiing depends on correct body position. If you skate ski but feel that you are working harder than you should, join the club! We will experiment with engagement of muscles and movement on dryland, then take it outside on your skis. There we will challenge ourselves with drills and go for a ski to let it sink in.

  • Taught by Siga Andrew, PT,  Level 3 PSIA Instructor

  • Must pre-register by March 4 at 5 P.M. All participants must have a trail pass. Register Here.

• Wednesday, March 11 - Yoga for Nordic Skiing

  • Yoga, initially, is about integrating the anatomical movements of a yoga pose into a subtle form of effortless effort, divine simplicity and inner radiance. In this mini workshop, we will deconstruct Nordic skiing and introduce awareness, postures and action sequences which can help perfect optimal movement, steadiness and endurance.

    The workshop will be held in the Asana Room located on the second floor of the Ore Bucket Center, across Maroon Ave from the 4-way parking lot. Google Maps - Drshti Shala, 214 6th St, Unit 5. Yoga mats, blankets and other props are supplied. Wear or bring work-out clothes to change into.
