Basic information:
Lead coach: Alan Eason (SSE Senior Tutor)
First-class ski instruction in both classic and skating techniques, building all the elements required to become an efficient cross-country skier. The opportunity to take part in the Dolomitenlauf Ski Marathon, which will this season take place in Obertilliach. Skiing Level: The week is aimed at both experienced and beginners, and for those who have been roller skiing, and would like to transfer over to snow for the first time and have taken part in a Roller Ski Co course. With a half marathon option, this week is a good introduction to racing, or you can take on the full distance. Both races are suitable for all, and with no demanding climbing and descending, this makes for a very enjoyable race to take part in. If you have any doubts about the trip's suitability let us know, and we can advise. If you are preparing for other ski races later in the season, this will be an ideal week of training and will fit in well with roller ski training. Races
Training & instruction: The week will start with the fundamentals of classic and skating. Each day the lessons will be broken down into small and simple steps which produce a greater level of progress in classic and skating. The program for the week will be structured to each person's needs, and what they would like to improve on. Returning skiers will be encouraged to progress their skills further. We are also able to have a go at the biathlon in Obertilliach, and this can be arranged at any time during the week. Each day there will be two training/instruction blocks, classic and skate, With Obertilliach so well situated, skiing from the village each day, and with coaching starting at the biathlon and cross-country ski center which is only 1.3 km away. Obertilliach has a very good snow record and has invested heavily in increasing snow-making on the trails. |
