On week ends, I coach a ski racing introduction program for kids, the Farm Team– Ski racing may appear out of touch to the skiing public, or to those fascinated by big moutain skiing and park stuff… yet nothing beats a ski racing intro, to learn the fundamentals of skiing…and generate boatloads of fun.

Whether you practice in a public Nastar course, or you race World Cup, you can be assured that you are learning the very fundmentals of all forms of skiing… proof ? Just look at former US ski Team, Daron Rahlves, who became an instant success on the big mountain free skiing scene after his alpine racing retirement.

You do not have to shoot for the World Cup to improve your skiing though – there are many ways you can get an intro to racing, from private lessons and practice in the public racing NASTAR course, to kids and adults groups programs.
