SKI CLINIC

Performance Skiing and Racing Techniques at Trapp Family Lodge Nordic Ski
Center Trapp Family Lodge, Stowe, VT
Event Info: Come join us for the season opener
ski clinic and an introduction to the new portable snowmaking system at Trapp
Family Lodge Nordic Ski Center. This clinic will not only teach the basic
classic and skate techniques but will also focus on good uphill and downhill
technique. As well as the ski clinic, there will be waxing and equipment
presentations. The instructors for this clinic have competed for years at the
highest level. This clinic is for the cross-country skier who has done some
cross-country skiing and wants to become more efficient or even do some racing
in the future. It would also be appropriate for those who pursue another sport
at a high level and now would like to become more proficient at cross-country
skiing.
The two day clinic includes day pass, lunch,
clinics and NENSA (New England Nordic Ski Association) membership at $100 per
person if registered by Dec. 1, 2007 otherwise $115, so register early. There
will be no day of event registration. This is also an opportunity to stay at
the magnificent Trapp Family Lodge at special clinic rates. A 2-night lodging
package is available that includes deluxe room accommodations, full country
breakfast daily, resort service fee and applicable taxes and gratuities for
$222.50 per person, based on double occupancy. If you stay before the event to
get warmed up or stay after and practice all your new techniques, a special
lodging rate of $145 is available.

clinic please contact Stuart Kremzner (stuart@nensa.net or 603-244-6584)

The New England
Nordic Ski Association (NENSA) is sponsoring the Citizen Series of
cross-country ski races for which team and individual points and standings are
calculated. The Citizen Series combines two
traditional NENSA race series.
1)
The ZAK
Cup, named after Vlasimil Zak, ranks master’s skiers in each five year age
group over 30 years of age. (Men: 2 race minimum, best 4 scored. Women: 2 race minimum, best 3 scored.)
2)
The Club
Cup ranks Nensa club teams. In addition to the multiple points that
faster skiers earn for the team (based on their finishing place), EACH team
member entered in any age class race earns at least one (1) point for the team.
The added incentive and camaraderie of the team racing = FUN! If you would like
to participate in any Citizen Series races, you need to be a SNOC and a NENSA
member (www.nensa.net
for on-line membership).
