Classic Skill Building:

For skiers who can ski flats and gentle hills and are looking to increase efficiency and explore longer trails. You will be mobile on your skis, travelling farther down the trails to see what is around the next bend! You will glide more easily over rolling terrain, leaving the pavilion behind.

You will work on:

■ Balance - Use an athletic stance as you transfer weight from ski to ski. Your kick ski returns back underneath your body, allowing more continuous forward motion.

■ Coordination - Move your arms and legs in a smooth and continuous rhythm. Coordinate the downward pressure to increase grip.

■ Propulsion - Gain forward momentum through your poles by flexing your upper body. Start engaging core strength.

■ Change direction - Use a wedge to turn left or right, with your legs and skis turning independently of your upper body.

You will get stronger and smoother!You will feel a smooth gliding sensation as you ski along flat and low rolling trails using diagonal stride. You will find your core muscles, and engage them to provide forward power when you double pole. You will have a growing sense of confidence as you descend gentle hills and use a wedge to turn right or left.

Classic Getting Comfortable:

You will work on:

■ Balance - A forward, relaxed stance, generates a fluid continuous motion.

■ Coordination - Adapt tempo and position to terrain to manage momentum.

■ Propulsion - Increase leg and arm range of motion to transmit more power to skis and poles.

■ Change direction - When turning or stepping, your balance moves to the outside ski and you use your edges to grip.
