Vintage Squaw

Quality skiing and instruction combined with group camaraderie sets this clinic apart from others. You will benefit from expert instruction combined with a high level of social interaction. Clinics are led by instructors who are highly trained and understand the importance of warming up.

All tasks and activities will be selected and paced based on your needs. Whether you've been skiing all your life or came late to the sport our instructors will help you adopt the technique that's right for you and the gear you are using. Those who enjoy the Vintage Squaw clinics generally fall into one of three categories:

  • Rippers-you rip up the mountain, all terrain and all conditions
  • Explorers-solid all mountain skiers who are generally a bit slower than Rippers.
  • Cruisers- the most advanced in age and often the most elegant skiers on the mountain

Gates to Skills

Personalized instruction by Thomas Gardtman. This all day program uses gate training as an effective means to enhance, strengthen and hone ski skills and is excellent at improving confidence in tackling all terrain and conditions. The clinic features coaching in technical freeskiing, slalom and giant slalom gate skiing as well as video analysis and dryland exercises. Also shared are ski and boot tuning tips for greater performance. When the fresh snow flies and gates cannot be set, we will substitute by working on technical freeskiing and all-mountain, all-terrain ski skills. This is for advanced intermediate to expert skiers who want to refine their skills.
