Start your day working through skate skiing drills that build from fundamental movements to advanced refinement, helping your own skiing and giving you ideas for your clients. In the afternoon, transition to classic-specific exercises that complement the morning’s work. You’ll experience each drill as both instructor and learner, and gain practical tools for your own skiing and your teaching, with specific attention to how drills adapt to different client needs in both disciplines.
