January 2010
January 9, 2010, Stowe, VT. - 2nd Annual Ladies Nordic Ski Expo
Ladies, mark your calendars for the second annual Ladies Nordic Ski Expo to be
held on Saturday, January 9th at the Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe, VT. As a
result of last year’s popular and sold out event, organizers will offer
participants a similar format for this year’s outing. Two morning teaching
sessions will offer skiers the option of receiving ski instruction in three
different disciplines, back-country/telemark, skate, or diagonal techniques. A
mid-day lunch will be served in the Lodge dining room and will be followed by an
informational session on clothing and equipment needs for winter outings. The
afternoon sessions will provide participants a variety of options- video
sessions for those who want to have their technique analyzed, a number of
backcountry and trail tours, or more hands-on instruction from our popular and
knowledgeable instructors. After all the work and fresh air, participants will
retreat to the lodge for an après-ski social with wine, chocolate and cheese.
The only thing that has changed for this year’s event is the price for
non-Catamount Trail members. Keeping in the scheme of CTA members receiving
discounts for CTA events, it will cost non-CTA members $75.00 for the day
(includes instruction, trail pass, lunch, après-ski social) while the cost for
CTA members will remain at $50.00. We can accommodate only 100 women for this
event so you should plan to register early. For more information visit:
