Former Olympian's Nordic Clinic Was A Great Success!

Trina Hosmer, who represented the United States at the 1972 Olympics, taught a classic clinic at Breadloaf on February 7.  With ages ranging from 13 to 70 something, over seventeen intrepid skiers took part in the clinic to learn more about classic technique.   We participated in a number of drills including skiing without poles and counting to five on each glide and then skiing without using our legs and just poling.  Bill McKibben said he learned a tip about staying in your tuck as long as you can on the downhills.  Sally Carver felt she understood more about basic body position and looks forward to applying what she learned.  We all found it was a treat to watch Trina fly effortlessly down the track and our two hours passed all too quickly.  Trina generously donated all proceeds from the clinic to our new club.
