Luna Chix brings women of all abilities, interests and ages together to learn new sports, stay active and inspire each other to do the same. This winter, the Northstar® Resort Cross-Country Ski, Telemark & Snowshoe Center partners with Luna Chix for this unique on snow clinic – for women, by women – that will benefit the Truckee-Tahoe non-profit, Girls on the Run – Sierras.

Learn or hone your tele skills in a non-intimidating, yet challenging setting. Women instructors provide gender-specific instruction to those looking to learn, improve or perfect their technique. These all-day camps have a relaxed, student-centric approach where the participants help dictate the direction.

Students will be evaluated and placed in groups appropriate to their experience level. Groups will practice and learn drills, receive feedback, video analysis and a personal program for improvement. Camps will follow PSIA standards, and copies of PSIA manuals will be provided.

 

Ability Levels & Clinic Focus

Three levels of clinics are offered.  Group levels determined with a practice run to ensure participants are placed in the right class.

Beginner clinic focus:  Proper stance, weight distribution, utilizing beginner slopes.

Intermediate clinic focus:  Enforcing good habits, using the rear ski (inside ski).

Advanced clinic focus:  Skiing any slope, any condition.
