Nordic skiing at a higher level

Feb. 7, 2012 - PRLog -- Since Mother Nature has graced Tahoe with snow, Tahoe Trips & Trails’
first annual Lake Tahoe Nordic Ski Camp with Julie Young is a go from
March 4 to 8. The comprehensive camp combines classic and skate skiing
instruction, exquisite meals and lodging at Cedar House Sport Hotel
for a first of its kind cross country ski camp in North Tahoe-Truckee.

“We’ve designed the Nordic Ski Camp with Julie Young to offer
unparalleled instruction during the day. The camp will help novice
skiers progress to the next level on and off the trail. The group
unwinds over scrumptious lunches and fun evening activities,” explains
Patty Baird owner of Tahoe Trips & Trails and Cedar House Sport Hotel.

In addition to being a world force in Nordic skiing, Young’s
accomplishments include a world championship cycling record including
winning the Tour de L’Aude, the women’s equivalent of Tour de France.
She is the Director of the Silver Sage Sports Performance Center, a
Reno, NV-based training center that serves recreational to
professional athletes.

Rooted in her expertise as a professional athlete and trainer, Young’s
instruction provides the tools to help beginner skiers practice proper
technique and become hooked on the sport and a lifetime of exploring
the wonders of Tahoe in the wintertime. Young promises each
participant will leave with three concrete tools that they can hone
and build on as they progress in Nordic skiing.

This camp is more personal and tailored than an experience at a large
resort. There is ample time to practice, to digest information and in
Young’s words “make it your own.” After five years running a large
resort’s cross country center, Young resigned, and she’s eager to
create a personalized cross-country ski camp experience that is
commensurate with Cedar House Sport Hotel’s emphasis on authentic,
wholesome and fun experiences.

Nordic Camp experience
Warm your muscles and increase flexibility with pre-skiing stretches
each morning. Expect to focus on moves that are necessary to obtain a
strong skiing stance including single leg strength, core strength and
balance. Students will have the opportunity to practice on land before
striding and skating on the snow. The small group atmosphere allows
each skier to receive one-on-one feedback and learn from one another.
Young brings so much experience and knowledge to her teaching
repertoire and is committed to providing a meaningful experience.

Each day includes a gourmet lunch. At night the fun continues with a
hands on make-your-own pizza class, gourmet dinners and a moonlit
snowshoe tour. Individuals are encouraged to come alone or sign up
with a friend.
