New for 2009 Clinics
Learn the Cat 1 and Cat Alternate technique
After 1 year of testing and fine tuning I am ready to teach you a new technique that will improve both your classical as well as your skate technique. We have combined skate technique with classical technique and developed a hybrid of the two. The Cat 1 is a hybrid of V1 and striding, and the Cat Alternate is a hybrid of the V2 alternate and striding. This new technique will add another level to your classical, skate and your double pole technique.

Note: Do not forget your RUNNING SHOES, ski boots and poles so you can learn the latest and greatest drills on core conditioning and strengthening ski specific muscles. (We can supply equipment, but please call to confirm that we have your size. CATSkis will be supplied if you don't have them.)

Hope to "ski" you there, call me or Planet XC to register if possible, but walk-ups are welcome too!

Thank you!
