This is run by the famous X-Team, stars of many Warren Miller & Egan Entertainment films. The team is comprised of pro skiers John & Dan Egan, Rob & Eric DesLauriers and Dean Decas (with other invited guest instructors). Now in their 18th season, the Xteam Advanced Ski Clinics will give you the kind of skills you've only dreamed about. These clinics are intended for strong intermediates and expert skiers who would like to improve their techniques in advanced slopes and conditions such as powder, steeps, trees, couloirs, air, bumps, etc. These guys are some of the best extreme skiers and instructors on the planet and fortunately they pay as much attention to safety as to enjoyment. As Dan Egan says: "An extreme skiing clinic should be fun, not frightening. At the Xteam Advanced Ski Clinics, you won't develop a single gray hair, just skills you never imagined you could attain, and memories you'll hold onto for a lifetime".

Ski to Live combines two personal passions, personal growth and skiing, into a four day experience that refreshes your body, focuses your mind, and turns you into the skier (snowboarder or telemarker) you always dreamed of being. Ski to Live is a four day, four night workshop for men, women, boys and girls of all skiing abilities (as mentioned, telemarkers and snowboarders are also welcome). Kristen says: "The reason I started Ski to Live is simple: There are thousands of "learn to ski better" clinics and ski schools in the world, and thousands of personal growth workshops, but none combine an experience of learning both with your body and mind. We do it in a very straightforward way - by joining days of world-class skiing and instruction (lead by yours truly) with yoga, good food, a comfortable environment, like-minded people, self-discovery through our Spiritual Teacher (Genpo Roshi- info on website) and the sport of skiing (and at Snowbird- Snowboarding). Until now, this style of learning has essentially been left alone within the ski or sport clinic arena."

Kim is a two time world extreme skiing champion, so she can really ski. She also likes to make skiing enjoyable for others and understands the needs of gal skiers. Kim says that she is passionate about getting more women out skiing and having a good time. For many women, it isn't about skill. It's about confidence. Her four-day clinics have the positive learning environment and fun atmosphere that are crucial for women to experience breakthroughs in their skiing.
As Laurie Vest, a satisfied clinic participant says:
"The Ya Ya Sisterhood of women's ski clinics...Kim Reichhelm recognizes that the 'divine secret' to most women's confidence on the slopes is camaraderie and the atmosphere in which instruction takes place…A fabulous experience, and one I will do again and again."

Lito Tejada-Flores no longer teaches the clinics but he has trained a small, hand-picked group of top Aspen ski pros in his non-traditional approach to mastering expert skiing. The courses are based at Snowmass, the largest of Aspen's four mountains, but also takes advantage of skiing and enjoying the vast four-mountain ski region. To book a custom Breakthrough-On-Skis week with one of these pros, call the Aspen Skiing Company, toll free, at: 1 800 525 6200 and ask to talk to Marci at the Snowmass Ski School Private Lesson Reservations Lounge (extension 4735).
