Fall Clinic Tour
Before leaving for West Yellowstone, Bryan and I drove around the Midwest and did 5 ski clinics, plus a Super Fit at the Bicycle Doctor in Dousman, WI. You can read about the clinics in detail HERE.
Our fall clinic tour started on November 7th, with the Ski and Tea women of Hayward, WI.
The next day we went to Winona, MN, where we held a dryland clinic at the St. Mary’s ski trails. NMU alumni, Brad Skillicorn was instrumental in organizing this clinic. We had a wonderful stay in Winona with my Uncle Bob and Aunt Mary. We also got a chance to ski up, “Homer Hill” which is a mountain by midwest standards, and I’d love to go back there for some intervals in the future.
On November 10th, we did an evening clinic for a new group of women in the Southern Twin Cities area that was organized by Lynda Stuber (my mom).
November 13th-15th we spent at the Bicycle Doctor in Dousman, WI where we sold tons of the new Salomon Equipe 10 skis, boots, bindings, and Swix poles. The CXC crew did a clinic each day of the clinic. Bryan and I were present at the Saturday clinic on November 14th and I took a few pictures there.
On November 15th, I did a “thank you” clinic for the Lapham Ladies who have been instrumental in my development as a ski racer. For the 2010 season, the Lapham Ladies and Salomon, organized a jacket fundraiser for my Adopt-an-Athlete program. I would not be the ski racer that I am today without this wonderful group of women. Thank you Lapham Ladies!!!! I’ll be sure to show off the jacket when they are finished.
More details about these clinics can be found HERE. Clinics are an intergral part of our livelyhood. Like many things, we rely on our friends, family, and the wonderful ski community to help organize these events. Thank you, thank you, thank you, to everyone who helped make these clinics possible!
