Training at Aspen Mountain: Taché Racing opens it’s season exclusively on Aspen Mountain with two weeks of early season free-ski technique clinics running Monday Dec. 10 through Friday Dec. 21. Early season clinics on Aspen Mountain are a great way to work the bugs out and get on your skis early! We work in small groups, using the varied terrain of Aspen Mountain, under the semi-private guidance of our crackerjack staff. For the rest of the season, Aspen Mountain is used as the perfect counterpoint to our regularly structured training at Aspen Highlands. Aspen Mountain's wide variety of terrain allows you to challenge your free-skiing skills as they relate to your performance in the gates. We use Nastar, perfectly located under the high speed quad that serves the top of Aspen Mountain, as a low-key introduction to racing for beginners and a tune-up tool for novices. Taché Racing is generally the only gate training offered on Aspen Mtn. the mix of Nastar and free ski clinics guarantees improvement, both in the gates and in your style on the slopes. (Check out Nastar.com for more info on what Nastar is all about). Check the Calendar for TR's scheduled days of training on Aspen Mountain. On the days we come over, we'll meet at 9:30 am at the Sundeck, and head out skiing at 9:45 am. The group size always varies on Aspen Mountain. Sometimes the groups are small, and you'll get near one-on-one instruction all day long, and sometimes the group is larger, with all the camaraderie and encouragement of skiers seeking improvement together. Periodically we'll use video tape to break down and study our techniques in slow motion. To schedule race training or race-specific instruction on Aspen Mountain outside of our regular program days, a minimum of five skiers is required. Make your reservation by contacting Mike at miketache@tacheracing.com. Any group smaller than five must be booked as a regular private lesson at the private lesson desk (970-925-1227). In addition, pros can be booked for private lessons upon request through the private lesson desk with a few day's advance notice.
