Note additional resources on the website. If you click on Instruction on the home page, then choose Beginner, scroll down until you see Resources for Beginners. There are several PDF documents that explain what equipment is used for different skiing styles and environments, terminology, instruction documents, etc. More documents available if you choose Intermediate.

Hi Bet,

Thanks so much! I attended the Beginner class last year, and it was TERRIFIC! I also attended the great downhill class. And, as a 60 year old starter, my skills were stuck in beginner gear after that. I look forward to going to these classes again, and, it’s clear from my own learning process I need some ongoing private instruction if I have any hope to feel competent sometime this winter. I know I can do it! :-) I was told by someone at NMSCC to post here to find out if anyone was available to do that, because it might be of interest to others as well — which seems the case! Thanks!

Greetings Leslie, Leah, Maryse, Kathleen, and All Skiers!  

The Ski Club has an outstanding Instruction section, led by Dana Price.  Dana has a schedule for Instruction already set and I'm sure it will meet your needs in learning how to get into our beautiful backcountry effectively and safely.  Please refer to our website ski.nmccskiclub.org and go into the section on Instruction for description and scheduling.  It will help you to attend our next meeting Dec 12 at the Albuq Garden Center.  We are excited for the snow to start so we can all enjoy getting out!  We'll see you soon!

I am a member who lives near ABQ. Is anyone offering private ski lessons this winter for a mostly-beginner? I would like to contract with someone who can help me get better this year. Also, someone who could really patiently explain to me what I need to know to consider buying skis. Thanks!
