We have explored lodging options for you and reserve the BEST houses in the nearby town of Eden, along with private chef or catering.

    Aspen Snowmass doesn’t need much of an introduction to the serious skier. The four mountains of Aspen, Highlands, Buttermilk and Snowmass have just about every kind of terrain and excellent snow consistency.  NASTC will give you the insider look to these exciting mountains, you will ski the nooks and crannies that only locals know about. You will polish your technique, work on skill blending and tactics and log in lots of mileage skiing a variety of terrain. Your coach will oversee your progress during the whole week and provide you with individual feedback and coaching. We will be staying in one of Aspen’s many lovely hotels, near the mountains and town (call for details). Aspen is a charming town with lots of world class dining options but also has a thriving art scene and home to the Aspen Institute. Its heartbeat is defined by the collective love for the mountains and mountain lifestyle!

  • SILVERTON, CO 2028

    SILVERTON, CO 2028

    SILVERTON
    Silverton, CO is big mountain skiing at its best. This course is for serious powder skiers, no groomed terrain is available. You ski helicopter skiing type of terrain here in the Colorado backcountry without the expense and take your off-piste/side-country skiing skills to the next level as the terrain demands. Silverton is not your typical resort: you leave all the glitz and hustle of resort-skiing behind. What you get is fresh, untracked powder in a quiet and beautiful setting. While Silverton is a lift-accessed mountain (count it: one lift), there is some hiking involved, especially to get to the really good stashes.
    Do not be intimidated. Silverton Mountain is for advanced AND expert skiers. You must be comfortable on black diamond slopes, in variable snow conditions and hiking 5-20 minutes along ridgelines. All guests need an avalanche beacon, shovel, and probe. No avalanche training is required. If you’ve skied some powder before, are in fairly good shape, and are excited to learn, you will enjoy Silverton. Its an amazing experience.
    We stay in downtown Silverton, a 15 minute drive from the mountain (did we mention the “resort” is at the end of a dirt road, after a curvy mt drive up to it?) You will enjoy lovely accommodations and gourmet meals after a full day of shredding around the huge expanse that is Silverton Mountain. We may rent a house and bring/hire a private chef (which do you prefer?)
    You’ll be in a skill/fitness-appropriate group, no more than 5 in your group with your personal trainer and guide. You will get top-notch guiding and personal instruction. On this NASTC course – perhaps more than any other – the terrain AND the staff both teach you. You will improve, its an amazing experience.
    Details:
    -Ski 4 days in private groups with Silverton guide and NASTC instructor
    -Fly into Durango 
    -Option to stay in hotel or private home 
    -Lunch included on the mountain, dinner ala carte together at local restaurants
    (chance we will have a chef along preparing breakfast and dinner TBA )
