Womens ski clinics?
My wife is a lower intermediate skiier interested in improving. I know SR used to host a couple of womens specific ski clinics every year. Do they still do this? I didn't see anything on the SR website. This would be perfect for her, she would be less intimidated and less self conscious in an all womens group. Thanks.

The Women's Turn program runs every week. You just missed the "Ski Divas" program this past weekend.
Women's Turn is a seasonal program, but I'm sure they'd let her "guest" for a session to see how she likes it. Like the Black Diamond group, you can also get vouchers for a number of sessions, if you aren't at the mountain every week and don't want to spring for the whole season's worth.

In addition to the season Woman Turn Program which is excellent. Gennie Jennings runs several weekend clinics through the season. They usually run Friday evening through Sunday afternoon. The Adult Perfect Turn Office located near the Fire Pit will have the dates. I took several of her clinics and loved them.

Be nice if this information was posted somewhere. My wife might be interested in something much less then the full seasonal program. There's nothing official on the website.

I sent SR an email asking them if they were still holding the weekend clinics; I'll post the response.

Just heard back from SR..... Too bad, the people that I knew that took it raved about it.
Bob,
We no longer offer the Woman’s Turn Weekend. I would suggest few options.
Privates lesson start at 85 dollars an hour. We have some great deals on multi-hours private lessons.

We haven't had the weekend clinics in a few years, which is a shame because they were very well liked by both participants and coaches.
We do offer both a half and a full-day private lesson for 1 to 6 people, and one group of women who used to attend the Women's Turn Workshop, have continued to spend a weekend together and hire me that way. To do so means you need others who ski at the same level.

Hi Wishes..... I ski every weekend, however my wife only gets 10 or so days in a year; she is not up enough to take advantage of a seasonal program and shy's away from the mix gender group sessions. The weekend program would have been perfect for her and she was looking forward to it. She is at the point where she is struggling a bit with her form and pole plants as an intermediate and gets frustrated. She would enjoy skiing more and consequently ski more often if she could improve her technique a bit. I think a weekend session with women at about her level would have given her boost she needs. If this clinic has a rebirth please post it.... she will be there!

Maybe all she needs is a private lesson or two. Let me run an idea by the adult supervisor and I'll get back to you.

Private lessons are awesome! While I don't mind the mixed gender lessons, I find that I don't always get the attention I need/want in a group. I have taken a few private lessons at different resorts over the past few years and all of them have been amazingly helpful. They are a little pricy, but totally worth it, IMO.
