Women’s clinic host: Bridget Logan
A ski clinic for women by women. Designed for specific technique work, followed by an optional group ski.
Reservations preferred. E-mail us to reserve your spot info@straffordnordicskiing.com.
All skill levels welcome. Rental Equipment available.
$20 fee in addition to your trail pass and rental equipment.
Biathlon is one of the most challenging winter sports. If you have ever wanted to try it, now is the time. Come to one of our clinics to learn about the sport.
During our clinics, we will start with basic gun and range safety, followed by shooting practice. Then, anyone who wants to try it, we will go for a ski on the penalty loop- a short lap – then come in and shoot, then ski the loop again, then shoot again. Challenge yourself to see how well you can shoot when your heart rate is high from skiing!
Space is limited, and pre-registration is required via e-mail or by calling the lodge 802-765-4309. If space is available, we will accept drop-ins.
The clinic is $20, in addition to your trail pass or rentals, to help cover the cost of rifle maintenance and ammunition. Clinics will begin at 1pm. Sign in at the lodge, we’ll meet there or on the range, depending on weather conditions.
