We founded NASTC in 1994. At the time, a private, traveling ski school was a novel idea. The idea was along the lines of the great Austrian and French Academies where students immersed themselves for multiple days. Chris had spent two seasons at the Austrian “Bundessportheim” (Austria’s National Ski Instructor Training Academy). Our goal was always to give students more than a quick-fix approach, and a chance to work on technique and tactics day after day so that they could see true improvement. We planned our first clinic at Sugar Bowl and Donner Ski Ranch in Truckee. It quickly sold out, and NASTC was born.
Over the last 32 years we have brought groups to more than 30 different resorts around the globe from California to Chile, Montana to Vermont, Iceland to Switzerland, Japan to Argentina, and many places in between. The common thread at all destinations is our tried-and-true methodology including technique, tactics, equipment, and fitness. And taking a very personalized approach looking at the building blocks of your skiing that you come with, and how we can best help you bring those skills up a full level.
As we enter our 32nd season in 2026-2027 we are extremely grateful to our thousands of students and our devoted, best-in-class Staff. With an almost 85% return rate, we love seeing many of the same faces return year after year.
Thank you!
Chris & Jenny
