Turoa Salomon Lindauer Ladies Ski Weeks

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

Dear Ladies,
Welcome to the 2009 season.  Turoa Snow School once again is holding 3 Salomon Lindauer Ladies weeks.
Week 1                        August 3- 6 with 7th being the contingency day
Week 2                        August 17- 20 with 21st being the contingency day
Week 3                        August 31- September 3rd with 4th being the contingency day

We have taken on board the feedback received from participants last season & have made a few improvements.
·         Every week ladies will have the opportunity to ski thru a race course with specific high end drills for those ladies wanting to really improve their skills.
·         If there is enough interest each week there will be a specific high end group which will spend more time within a gate environment.
·         We will aim to limit each group to 6 -7  ladies, however if the best fit for example of 14 ladies, ability wise, was to have a group of 6 and a group of 8 it makes more sense to do this.
·         On receipt of your registration from an email will be sent out saying we have received your form & processed your payment with an information letter sent out no later than the Wednesday prior to the start of the programme.
Continuing the success
·         Product night at Snowcentre with more dedicated Ladies information
·         Cyprus Tree on the Tuesday Night for dinner
·         Being a safe & socially responsible Snow School we will be offering Lindauer bubbles on Monday night during the product night, Tuesday at the dinner with a drink after skiing on Wednesday & Thursday. 

You will find the registration forms on www.mtruapehu.com under Programmes & events.
Michelle Simpson is the programme co-ordinator.

Treble Cone is open

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

Hi Guys Thought you would all like to see some pictures from opening day on Saturday at Treble Cone.  We were pleasantly surprised at how good the coverage was and mostly skied off trail and did a couple of tours out of bounds which was great to get some blood pumping thru the legs.  We had good intensions of having a cruisey day as I was breaking in new boots but ended up going a bit crazy. We’ve also been living in an inversion down here in town for the last week so we all enjoyed getting up into the blue sky.   Hope all of you are managing to enjoy the ski season as well and look forward to catching up for some turns if any of you make it down our way. Gleni & Blair
