    As the Mercury Rises, So Does The Anticipation of Skiing in Portillo, Chile

    As it gets hotter, the thought of cooling off on the slopes in Portillo gets better and better. Skiing under the brilliant Andean sun, with fresh white snow underneath you and enjoying traditional Chilean barbecue and a pisco sour while overlooking the Inca Lake sounds like paradise as the haze of the heat grows more intense. The NASTC-Portillo ski week is the ideal escape. A week of skiing and relaxing in this beautiful ski in/out resort is just what the doctor recommended right?! Join NASTC August 15-24 for fun, relaxation, great skiing and coaching.

    Dryland Training Starts Now

    Most national teams are wrapping up their on-snow spring training and heading to warmer climates to kick their dryland training programs. Off-season training includes cycling for improved cardiovascular fitness and endurance as well as sessions in the weight room. Other activities such as paddling, kayaking, climbing are included but typically as active rest activities and as a way to break the routine up and keep things fun. How will your off-season improve your skiing? If you need help or ideas grab a copy of Total Skiing, it lays out a dryland program that is tailored to your skier type.

  • Lance Armstrong accused of doping

    http://outside-blog.away.com/blog/2011/05/tyler-hamilton-accues-lance-armstrong-of-doping.html

    If Lance Armstrong is one of your heroes, this article and soon to follow discussion and investigation might make you think twice about this mighty cyclist.  Lance is often held as a fitness and athletic role model for sports enthusiasts and athletes all over the world.  If this news is actually proven true, it would be devastating to many people across the globe.  We just have to hope that these accusations are false and Lance remains one of the best athletes of all time.

  • AMGEN Tour of California

    We were so excited to get front row seats to one of the most spectacular and prestigious cycling races – The AMGEN Tour of California.  It is considered cycling’s most important and successful stage race in the United States, and one of the most anticipated professional cycling races in the world.  This was the first time the tour has come to Lake Tahoe, the course changes every year and Lake Tahoe was added to this year’s event to increase the degree of difficulty and is to date the most challenging course that the tour has had. 

    The first stage of the tour included a start in South Shore followed by 1.5 laps around the lake and ending in Northstar.  Stage 2 was to start at Squaw Valley and end in Sacramento.  The Lake Tahoe community pulled out all the stops to welcome the tour, its athletes and spectators.  Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate.  After a week of balmy temperatures and lots of sunshine, there was a sudden spike in the temperatures and snowfall prevented the race from starting at either of its two Lake Tahoe locations.  There was much debate amongst officials of the tour as to whether the race should be cancelled, but the unpredictable weather this weekend posed a great risk to the riders’ safety.  AMGEN Tour of California officials said that Lake Tahoe would be considered again as one of the cities of the tour.  Let’s hope next time Mother Nature or Father Winter (whichever one is responsible ) doesn’t decide to rain (snow) on our parade.
