Training & Instruction
This is a good week for those who are already skiing at a good level both technically & also a good ski fitness

Each day, we will focus on distance skiing with efficient technique and work on gaining a greater average speed over a longer distance.

Each day, there will be two training/instruction blocks, classic and skate
  • The morning lesson focuses on distance training with technical changes to increase speed.
  • In the afternoon we tend to ski again longer distances with a mix of technical coaching as we ski.

We tend to work on two days of classic or skating, then switch to whichever you wish to work on for the remainder of the week.

Skiers are not expected to attend all sessions and are free to explore the trails.
