Lookout to offer ski school

Skiers and riders who want to venture off the groomers in style can learn the secrets at the Lookout Pass Snowsports School. Lookout's new Next Level program introduces advanced intermediates to the techniques required for safely exploring steeps, bumps, powder and trees.

Two free assessment clinics will be offered at Lookout Pass Ski Area on Sunday, Dec. 18 and Sunday, Jan. 1 at 10:30 a.m. Next Level Assessment Clinics offer skiers and riders a chance to preview the program, have their skills evaluated and receive technical advice.

"We have a group of very talented instructors looking forward to helping people discover the excitement of off-piste terrain," said Ric Clarke, director of the Lookout Pass Snowsports School. "The program reinforces basic fundamentals and shows skiers and riders how to apply those key skills to a variety of terrain and more challenging snow conditions."
