    Corralco, Chile Ski Adventure

    Join us for a summer skiing adventure in Chile! This is the summer dream skiing you’ve been waiting for. Imagine this and you’ll capture a bit of Corralco in your mind’s eye: you’re staring into the cauldron of the Lonquimay volcano, you look around at breath taking scenery, and now you point your skis down, making your descent in fresh powder back to the base of the resort. This is a ski adventure unlike what you have experienced before. With a landscape of contrasts and unconfined terrain, Corralco will amaze the ski mountaineer and intrepid connoisseur alike. Come with or without climbing skins, this is also an area designed to thrill intermediates and advanced resort skiers.

    Corralco Mountain & Ski Resort is located in the southern Andes, just 90 minutes away from Temuco, within the imposing landscape of Malalcahuello National Reserve. Here natural beauty, exquisite landscapes, snow, and mountains combine to make this ski resort a world-class destination. Corralco has been a secret for both advanced and beginner skiers for years. With new lifts in place – total 6 – and 1300+ acres of skiing, a new hotel, and NASTC’s week-long ski improvement curriculum, you’re in for your best ski training vacation ever. The optional climbing above the lifts allows those who want to even more vertical and breath-taking views.

    NASTC has set the standards since 1994 for expert ski instruction, providing “total immersion” clinics at the most demanding resorts in the world. Born as an alternative to homogenized lessons, we’ve created curriculum that never fails to bring you up a full level. Whether intermediate, advanced, or expert, you will improve, enjoy life-changing experiences, and meet friends you’ll cherish in and out of your ski world. This clinic, like all our others, will be led by staff that are the absolute top in their field, compassionate coaches, with in-depth knowledge of what it takes to create defining moments in clients’ skiing progress. You’ll enjoy an intimate group setting, with a class ratio of no more than 6:1 (client : trainer), and the learning starts at morning stretch, thru breakfast, skiing all day 9-3PM with yummy lunch break, afternoon tech talks, right thru to dinner!

    Valle Corralco Hotel & Spa opened in 2013 at the base of the mountain. For the discerning guest, this experience will not disappoint, with 54 rooms, a restaurant, bar, SPA, gym, movie theater, convention hall and 5-star service.

    For those who crave the beautiful and unique landscape of southern Chile, deep powder, long runs, no crowds, the best instruction available, and a relaxing remote vacation, this is it. This is once in a lifetime, and we plan to offer it for a long time!

Endless, deep, light snow, cold temps, long runs, epic descents, traditional baths, incredible food, unmatched cultural experience in the mountains! Our group is finishing off their week with the Sapporo Snow Festival!

  • Private Ski Guiding

    Private Ski Guiding

    Private Ski Guiding (from $95-$495 full or half/private or group/customized/all levels):

    Design your own day! Our private ski guiding day allows you to design exactly the day you want or your group wants! Want to ski new lines all day? Or gain lots more education about backcountry skiing safety. The backcountry skiing is great this year! Your day can be based at the resort, and we’ll tour into the sidecountry, returning to the chairlifts after skiing long, untracked lines. Or your day can be 100% in the backcountry and we’ll tour up peaks like Castle, Donner, Anderson, or Judah Peaks on Donner Summit. This is a great way to get powder turns in well after the mountain is “skied out,” and to find new terrain if you feel you’ve skied everything at your home resort.

    During a side country or backcountry adventure with NASTC you can improve your turns also while out there. Your NASTC guide is not only a certified guide, but a ski instructor/coach who can give you pointers on your skiing technique as well if you like!

     

    Rent your AT skis/skins/boots at Granite Chief, Tahoe Mountain Sports, The Backcountry, or Sports Hub in Truckee. We recommend you call ahead & make a reso.

    Beacon, shovel and probe rental from us for $25/full or half day/person
    (or each item for $10/full or half day/person)

    You’ll meet your guide either at the NASTC office (10710 Donner Pass Rd), or at the designated trailhead.

    Prices range based on group size. Five person maximum per guide.

    Holiday Gift Ideas

    SkiA Sweetspot Trainer
    If you are not able to dedicate as much time as you would like to your dryland training, there is a tool that can help you ski better before you even click into your bindings. The SkiA sweetspot trainer is a balancing aid that will help you achieve better balance over your base of support (your feet). You clip the device onto your ski boots and forces you to find the optimum balance point as you stand, move around, tip and twist your feet. You find out very quickly what adjustments you have to make to not fall down and what muscles groups need to fire to assist in making and maintaining those adjustments. Check out the video link below “How to Use a SkiA Trainer” with Chris Fellows. http://youtu.be/wAVhaUyUJPA

    Powder and Sushi: Skiing in the Land of the Rising Sun

    Japan has been one of best kept secrets in the ski world. Largely because of it’s remote location it hasn’t made it onto the radar of the general skiing population. Niseko is for adventure seekers, for those that want an experience totally unlike anything you would find in North America or Europe. Niseko has one of the highest snowfall averages. It snows almost every day. This is a truly unique skiing experience and a great way to see and visit Japan. You will collect some unforgettable memories on this trip and make big strides in your skiing.

    Fall in Love with Austria

    Embark on a week long adventure in skiing’s heartland. Skiing in Austria is a must and truly a special experience.

  • The start of the World Cup is almost here!

    The first World Cup race of the season is fast approaching.  October 25th & 26th marks the start the world cup season with a giant slalom race on the Rettenbach glacier.  Both men and women will race on the same run, which also happens to be one of the steepest pitches on the circuit.  Athletes will be coming off their summer training regimens of physical conditioning and on-snow training.  Some teams had better on-snow summer training than others due to mixed snow conditions across South America.  There will be a number of athletes missing from this race due to injuries sustained over the summer during training and others that haven’t quite made a full recovery from their injuries the previous season.  The Soelden race is always exciting because it is the first race of the season and has so much momentum around it.  It is particularly an important event for the athletes and coaches as it illustrates the strengths and weaknesses in the off-season training programs.  It is always fun to see who is skiing strong right out of the gate.
