The Powder Fest of The YEAR is fast approaching!

The concept for the festival is incredibly inclusive - there are comps and clinics for all abilities and lots of social opportunities. It's an event to celebrate the energy, culture and camaraderie that keeps us all excited and passionate about winter sports. Don't be intimidated, it's not ALL off-piste; many of the clinics are designed to help you build on existing skills, while staying within resort boundaries. There is a novice clinic offered each day to ensure that the weekend remains inclusive to everyone. There are clinics for both skiers and snowboarders, and some are half days, so you'll still have time to ski with your kids, unless of course you'd rather go shred with your pals until apr?s ski. Need a new perspective on your already-almost-perfect style? It's a proven fact that women and men think differently, you may even agree that we ski differently??The Mens White Room is a male specific clinic with two female coaches to give you a new perspective on your ski style. Choose one or more of the clinics that are specifically designed to help you step up your game and polish your techniques like Playing with Terrain, A Walk With Greg Hill (Greg Hill Two Mill!!!), Keeping Up, Route-Finding and Reading Terrain, Telemark for Off-Piste Skiing and More!Just for the ladies??.try a ladies-only ski tour on Sunday with Lila Jansma, or tackle your fears in a welcoming environment of other "ripper chicks" with Alison Gannett. Or have you already perfected one of these disciplines? Try a new one! Basic Telemark Skiing and Intro to Touring clinics are available. ROAM is even offering complimentary ski touring gear rental with your clinic reservation!All these amazing clinics, and I haven't even mentioned the comps or socials yet!
