Eastern Sierra Region Women’s Program
By Tammie Hoedeman, Eastern Sierra Women’s Program Advisor
What an outstanding ski season this year! March 6, 2016 marked the 19th annual Heavenly Women’s ski and toboggan clinic. Dear Mother Nature kept us guessing with regard to the weather conditions right up to the day of the clinic. As you know from past years, it takes quite a storm to silence this group of vibrant, ski patrol ladies!
Weather cooperating, we began our morning warming up with some basic sled handling drills followed by several sled runs down one of our black diamond runs. The newly fallen snow allowed us to sharpen our techniques in the handles, tail rope, and learning to laugh at oneself as the passenger being the mummy buried with snow by the time we reached the bottom! In the afternoon session we divided into two groups with the ski instructors. The skiing conditions could not have been more perfect.
As you will notice from the smiles in the photos, we all had a fantastic time, made new friends, were challenged, and most certainly learned techniques and skills to put in our tool box. Next year will be the 20th year for the Heavenly Women’s clinic and we are beginning the planning process NOW! Make sure to mark your calendar for the last Sunday in February of 2017 and join us for the celebration!
