US Ski Team Technique Clinic Fundraiser
Gear West Ski & Run Presents a US Ski Team technique clinic fundraiser
for Team Today. Saturday & Sunday, September 11-12 2004 at French
Regional Park, Plymouth Minnesota.

All proceeds from this event directly support Team Today and the
athletes of the US Cross-country ski team and their goal of becoming
the best in the world. Team Today is a nonprofit organization started
and run by the athletes of the US Cross-country Ski Team. Team Today
was created to help raise the level of ski racing in the US to
international podium heights, to share information and passion for the
sport with the American ski community and to raise money for training
and racing opportunities for American skiers. At the Team Today/Gear
West Clinic we will share modern, world-class methods of training and
technique with the skiers and coaches of the Twin Cities and Midwest.

This is a fund raiser, a clinic with the best, a chance to hear and be
heard by the people who are taking US skiing to the next level and a
damn hard-working good time.

Receive the latest technique instruction on rollerskis in skating and
classic techniques. Learn dryland drills to prepare you step by step
for your best race season ever. Get the strength training that the US
team is using right now to develop explosive speed and maintain
perfect technique for long distances.

US Ski Team Asst Coach Pete Vordenberg and US Ski Team Athlete Andrew
Johnson will lead groups of 10-12 participants. Space is limited so
sign up today! Spend 3 hours with Pete watching video, learning the
latest innovations and working on the basics of good technique. Andrew
will add an hour of strength and bounding to show you how he's become
one of the strongest skiers in the US. Attend an evening presentation
with both talking about the state of XC skiing in the US. The
presentation is free for all clinic participants. Anyone is encouraged

Vordenberg & US Ski Team Clinic @ Gear West
 

I see that this event has morphed from a "minimal cost" clinic for the
public (Pete's post of 1-13-04) into a fundraiser.
