Ideal for Citizen Racers

Citizen racers will benefit by the extensive
racing experience of our coaches and the opportunity
to meet other skiers with similar interests.

Maximize Your Cross Training
|
|
Nordic skiing is the ideal winter season cross
training method for athletes who focus on other
endurance sports during the remainder of the
year.
Our program provides athletes with the opportunity
to gain the most benefit from Nordic ski training.
Many cross trainers learn to enjoy Nordic skiing
as much as their primary sport.

Lifelong Fitness
|
|
In addition to fun, lifelong fitness is the
most important benefit of Nordic skiing.
Our program teaches its participants how to
take full advantage of this important benefit.
Regardless of your current level of fitness
at the beginning of the program, or your area
of interest -- racing, cross training, or recreational
skiing -- you will learn how to increase your
level of fitness.

| |
Customized to Your Needs
|
| We are able to customize the instruction
to the needs of our participants by carefully
dividing them into small groups for each type
of training session -- dryland, skating and classical
skiing. This is done to ensure that each individual
is given the opportunity to train with others
of similar physical ability and ski experience. |
| |
Skate Versus Classic Technique
|
|
The Sisu Skier Program strongly believes that
to become a more proficient Nordic skier, you
can gain a lot by developing both skating and
classical techniques.
For this reason, all on-snow training will
attempt to give equal emphasis to each of the
two disciplines.
Both skating and classic ski equipment is necessary
to participate in this group.
