Nickel Plate Masters Programs
This season we are offering three streams of masters programming. The first is classic only group the second is a classic and skate group. Both of these groups are designed for intermediate skiers, folks who are comfortable on their skis and looking for a few tips in a group ski setting. The final group is an advanced group of folks who want to ski more (meeting twice per week) and still recieve feedback and direction with their skiing pursuits.
For beginner skiers, check out our 3-week programs.
These groups will be lead by CANSI instructor Rick Watson. Rick’s critical eye and knowledge of the sport will help you improve your technique in a fun, group environment. Rick holds a level 3 CANSI certification and has been training and racing for most of his life.
