Peak Performance Academy at Heavenly
New this season, the best of the best in snow sports education will share their knowledge in exclusive clinics at Heavenly Mountain Resort. Members of the Professional Ski Instructors of America (PSIA) and American Association of Snowboard Instructors (AASI) National Demo Teams will work with skiers and
snowboarders in an all-mountain clinic that will improve their powder technique and unlock the hidden stashes across the mountain, increasing their enjoyment of powder skiing and riding.
Sessions will feature video analysis, high-end riding and off-piste tactics, as well as addressing personal goals. The Peak Performance Academy is offered as two three-day clinics (Jan. 25-27 and Feb. 8-10) and one five-day clinic (March 4-8).
In addition to the Peak Performance Academy, Heavenly is offering two Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month specials. Beginners have the option of taking two days of lessons and receiving the third lesson free, or taking one day of lessons and receiving a second day at 50 percent off. Heavenly is also incentivizing skiers and riders who introduce a friend or family member to the sport during the month of January. As part of the “Bring a Friend Challenge,” anyone who brings a friend or family member to the Ski and Ride School to participate in one of the resort’s Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month specials will be entered for a chance to win a two-night vacation package to Heavenly.
