Ski season is over, summer is on its' way. It is time to put the skis away, pull out the bike, head to the sun beaches and put my toes in the sand! Discover why and how you should be training throughout the summer to prepare for next ski season.

In this clinic you will:

· Experience a summer strength training program for skiers. Learn by DOING!

· Discover why summer athletic conditioning is essential for motor learning.

· Review and develop a deeper understanding of three stages of motor learning and how moving through these stages through summer and fall can benefit you on your first day on the snow.

· Key components for your Summer Ski Conditioning - what, why, how, and when.

· Connect fitness and athletic conditioning movements that help develop and strengthen specific body movements that directly affect ski performance.

Keep moving to help you get stronger and more mobile for next season. We'll cover problem areas of movement and give your real exercises to help fix them. Come back for the PM session to see how newfound body awareness can help with common Level 2 riding problems.

INTERSKIs happen every 4 years, as a get together of snowsport instructors from all corners of the globe to share, swap notes and mutually develop our sport.
