Val Gardena, ITALY February 11-20, 2011 Freeskiing Adventure in the Dolomites

Well known on the World Cup circuit, Val Gardena is easily ranked as Italy's #1 resort. Tucked away in the Dolomites in Northeastern Italy, Val Gardena has managed to escape the glitterati and fashionista onslaught and maintain its traditions and unique culture. The Dolomites are known for their rugged monoliths standing guard over big fields of snow dotted by lone shepherd huts. They are also known for their natural color-changing spectacle-something you will just have to see for yourself! The Alps offer an abundance of diverse terrain: big open faces, steep long couloirs, and seemingly endless runs. NASTC will guide you through an experience of enchantment and adventure as your explore these mountains filled with great skiing, great food, a distinct culture, and spectacular scenery.

Cost: $4995 double occupancy (7 nights lodging, 7 breakfasts and dinners, 6 days guided skiing, lift tickets, 6 days of instruction including video reviews and tech talks), $2995 without lodging or meals

PORTILLO, CHILE - August 12-21, 2011 Summer in the Andes
Portillo is South America's premiere ski resort, famous for its majestic setting and deep snow. Once you go, you’ll never want to leave. This is NASTC ’s 15th season at this friendly, exclusive, and challenging resort. Ski down to glacier-blue Lake Inca or traverse into huge bowls amidst 15,000’ Andean peaks. With 12 lifts, 23 runs, and all the snow of a maritime range, we have skied it all in August (equivalent of February at home). Portillo is home to big mountain extremists, racers, and every-day carvers, but amidst the familial and social atmosphere of the Grand Living Room and the late night disco, everyone is equal. Levels 6-9

NASTC's Kids Race & Freeskiing Camp! NEW!!!

Portillo has always been our summer home and many of our clients who have gone without their families have requested we run a separate NASTC Kids Camp! So we are! Kids and adults will be divided up during the day to ski with their own trainers and then come together in the evenings to enjoy family oriented fun at the hotel as well as family dinners. Kids will run gates in the morning and continue to develop their skills, tactics and comfort on the mountain with an all-mountain free-skiing session in the afternoons. They will have their own afternoon video session and tech talk, followed by a bunch of fun activities at the hotel. The same NASTC methodology of full immersion , multi-day holistic coaching will be applied to your child's skiing and you can be sure that your child will make some significant improvements to their skiing. This is a great way to spend quality family time, build memories and bond with your children,. Your child will come away from this trip not only a stronger skier, but more confident on and off the slopes, they will have made new friends and shared in a beautifull mountain experience that they will likely never forget.
