FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

XC Ski Training with Nikolai Anikin Jr. from October 2010-March 2011

Nikolai Anikin Jr. has experience working with skiers of all levels of ability and ages to improve ski technique and fitness. Whether your goal is improve or simply to finish, Nikolai has helped many to achieve their goals.

In the fall we will work on ski specific drills and exercises designed to mimic winter ski conditions. Most fall workouts begin with an easier 15-30min warmup hike followed by 30-45min of ski specific instruction and ending with 15-30min of pole hiking to practice what you've learned. We will alternate skate and classic sessions in the fall and throughout the winter.

Once the snow flies we will work on more specific aspects of XC skiing including skate and classic techniques used on the uphills and flats as well as a little downhill work.

The program starts on Tuesday October 5th at Lester Park in Duluth and the alternative group starts on Thursday October 7th at Pine Valley in Cloquet.

We meet from 6-8 pm.

Cost for the 6 month program is $300 or $25/lesson.

Please contact Nikolai with questions at [email protected] or c218 251 4149 and w218 728 4466.

Hope to see you on the Trails.
