Enjoy skiing in the beautiful Methow Valley, and build community with other ParaNordic athletes.
The formal kickoff of the clinic will be early afternoon on Wednesday the 8th, giving people time to travel to the valley, with options for people to arrive early for additional skiing and training. All skier types and abilities are welcome – Sit Skiers, Standing Skiers, and Visually Impaired (VI) Skiers.
The anticipated agenda for the clinic will include two skiing sessions per day – one AM and one PM, locations and skill goals to be determined by skier ability and desire. Coaching and ski buddies will be provided through Methow Valley Nordic, and we aim to integrate new skiers with advanced skiers, so athletes can learn alongside each other.
Brief summary of skills for new skiers: Intro to equipment/snow, stationary skills (balance, stepping), slowing/stopping, falling/recovery, poling/double poling, diagonal stride, edging, downhill and uphill technique.
For advanced skiers: Training and technique tips/progressions, video feedback.
