Cross Country Skiing Update
January 30th Instruction for Beginners and Advanced Beginners. Mt. Laurel Ski Club members will be offering Cross Country, a.k.a. Nordic instruction on Saturday, January 30, 2010 at Woodstock Nordic Center. We will gather at the Mt. Laurel lodge in Proctorsville at 9:00 a.m. to car pool. If you have not cross country skied before, see either Penny Trick or Pat Revoir for guidelines on appropriate Nordic clothing.
Nordic XC Certification and Refresher
Sue Poirier is organizing a cross country Amateur Ski Instructors Association (ASIA) certification and refresher course at Mountain Meadows located in Killington, Vermont on January 23 & 24, 2010. Cost is $110 payable by cash or check in advance plus trail pass, which are paid for the morning of the course. To register go to www.asiaski.com/Progapp.htm. For more information contact Sue Poirer at spcolby@gmail.com. This is not a learn to ski event. You should be an experienced X-C skier to participate. Those who attend will be spending time enjoying the winter playground at the base of Killington with top PSIA coaches who will guide and coach the groups. ASIA members and certified instructors who would like to brush up their teaching and skiing skills sign up for the X-C Refresher clinic. Folks who would like to become certified sign up for the X-C Certification clinic. The certification will require purchase of some educational materials (to be announced) and involve a skiing, demonstration, and teaching skills evaluation on the second day of the event. Both groups will spend two days honing their skiing skills and refreshing or learning their teaching and demo skills, and everyone will have a fun weekend on the snow. Depending on interest (and energy left) we may have the opportunity for a 'group feed' afterwards.
