NASTC TAHOE ALL CONDITIONS/ALL TERRAIN COURSES 2008

NASTC is based in Tahoe. For 16 years, this has been our home, and we know it well. Join us for any of our All Conditions/All Terrain courses at Alpine Meadows or Squaw Valley. The AC/AT is a step-by-step progression designed to get you off that intermediate or advanced plateau and skiing the entire mountain well, whatever the condtions: steeps, powder, bumps, crud, trees, or chutes. You will get good mileage, ski big vertical, and avoid lines. There is also popular Jumpstart at Squaw Valley to get your season started off right.

LODGING:NASTC has partnered with the Cedar House Sport Hotel in Truckee (530-582-5655) to offer you the complete ski course vacation package. The fusion of these two entities couldn't be more appropriate. While NASTC is styled after the European ski school model, CHSH was inspired by the intimate hospitality found at smaller family-run hotels in the Alps. Both companies are fun by a husband/wife team, and place heavy emphasis on one-on-one guest relations.


Here is a sample of what you can expect at a Tahoe course:

Day 1
Meet at 8:30am for an orientation, get lift tickets, meet your trainer and the group. As soon as the lifts open, the group will go out for a warm up run together. Then you will be split into small groups with a trainer. You will work on the basics of balance and stance. The group will break for lunch. In the afternoon, your trainer will video tape you on the hill. After a fun day, the group will meet at the Tahoe Center for Health & Sports Performance in Truckee to review your video and do a tech talk. We will recommend some great restaurants in town if the group would like to go out to dinner.

Day 2
Meet at the base of the mountain in the morning. Work on some more ski technique, ski some different terrain and conditions. Each person will receive individual feedback from their trainer and get a lot of good mileage in throughout the day. After a lot of turns, the group will meet again for a tech talk and then dinner is optional.

Day 3
Another great day with a fun group of people and great instructors. The trainer will video tape you again on the hill. In the afternoon, you will have a chance to review your video with your trainer.

Day 4
Another amazing day on the slopes. After a great day of turns and tech talk, there will be a farewell dinner which is included. We will pick one of the great restaurants in Truckee and have a raffle with sponsor giveaways.

Day 5 or last day
Ski with your NASTC trainer one more day and really see some improvement in your skiing. After a full day of skiing, you will be on your way home. We hope to see you at another NASTC course again!
