Bump Clinic - The club will hold a Bump Clinic as part of its
Skier Improvement series on Sunday, February 21, 2010, at Plattekill
in Roxbury, NY beginning at 9 AM. The plan is to conduct the clinic in the
morning and then offer the afternoon to practice and refine your newly gained
skills. Because of the nature of this clinic, a minimum of 6 participants
is necessary. Also, this date is a Potter Brothers discount lift ticket day
so lift tickets are only $23.95 and must be purchased in advance at any Potter
Brothers store.
Join us for a fun-filled day and learn to finally master the moguls. In order
to reserve your place at the clinic, kindly contact Mark Searle at
(845)471-6402 or
HVSCSkiTeach@yahoo.com.
Bump Clinic Instructor's Corner: "I skied Plattekill on Saturday
the 23rd and discovered that over the summer they added 29 new permanent
snow guns and a winch cat which greatly improves their ability to make a
maintain better conditions and coverage. They now have coverage on their
best expert terrain like Blockbuster, Plunge and Northface where teaching
moguls is more appropriate.
These new additions mean that they can make snow quicker, on new terrain,
and recover from warm spells or rain quicker. This means for a 15 minute
further drive you can get great local skiing on a weekend on great slopes
for a discounted club price with no lift lines."
