    Women seeking to strengthen their skiing skills can do so with the help of a pro. Kristi Terzian, three-time U.S. National Slalom and Giant Slalom Champion and a ten-year veteran of the U.S. Ski Team will host six three-day Women’s Ski Challenge camps.

    “My goal is to instill in others the same love and enthusiasm I have for skiing through an exciting program that promotes rapid improvement and skill development,” Terzian said.

    The camps are open to skiers of beginning to expert ability. Participants will be matched in small groups by similar skiing ability for instruction.

    “It’s all about fun. Seeing the lights come on in the women who participate in my camps means we’ve accomplished what we’ve set out to do, that is to increase confidence, improve upon technique and create an overall enjoyment for the sport of skiing,” Terzian said.

    The Ski Challenge Camps will be held at the Park City Mountain Resort. They will beigin in mid-December and run through mid-March.

    One four-day camp and six three-day camps are available. There will also be one coed camp. “A number of women have asked me to schedule a coed session so they can share the learning experience with a friend or significant other,” Terzian said.

    Each of the camps include instruction and personal coaching by Kristi and her team of PSIA (Professional Ski Instructors of America) certified instructors, continental breakfast each morning, and a video. Participants will also participate in practice drills and progressions that develop balance and agility.

    Participants will be videotaped daily on the slopes and then critiqued during a video review session scheduled every afternoon. “Video delivers immediate feedback on personal progress,” Terzian said.

    The cost for the three day camps is $295 and the cost for the four day camp is $395. Special lift ticket rates will be available for registered camp participants. The special lift ticket rate will be $125 for three-day lift tickets and $160 for four-day lift tickets.
