One of the best parts of leading ski trips for the New Hampshire AMC is the training they offer to leaders. Here are trip reports from annual training.
Telemark Technique
Every year we start the season with a Telemark Technique class for any leader who is interested. Almost every year, Jim Tasse has taught it. So it has come to be known as the Tasse Clinic.
