Women's
Ski Clinics
First
session free of charge! Come and see what its about!
We
are offering a special series of clinics specifically designed to
help women skiers enjoy Cannon Mountain with skill and confidence.
Your instructor, Randy Trainor is a Level 3 Certified Instructor
and has taught skiing in Colorado, New Zealand, and Austria and
at Attitash and Loon Mountains. She was a race coach for the Franconia
Ski Club for 7 years and has been teaching the women's clinics here
at Cannon for the past 4 years.
Groups
are available for both intermediate and advanced level skiers on
Saturday, and intermediate level skiers on Sunday. See below for
details. The program begins on Saturday, January 2rd.
SATURDAY'S
program will emphasize skill building from one week to the next,
though drop-ins are encouraged and welcomed.
Intermediate
Skiers 9:00am - 11:00am For those who can ski all of the green trails
and some of the blue trails. We will focus on improving your skiing
skills so that you will become comfortable skiing all of the blues
and some easy blacks by the end of the season. No longer will you
be struggling to keep up with your family, and you will discover
the pure joy of skiing!
Advanced
Skiers 12:30pm - 2:30pm Open to those who are comfortable skiing
the entire mountain. We will also work on improving your skiing
skills as well as mogul skiing, tree skiing and (if Mother Nature
cooperates) powder skiing. Do you really want to understand those
skiing moves your children are learning? This is the place!
