Dreaming About Summer Skiing

Truckee, CA - The North American Ski Training Center (NASTC) will head down for the 16th year in a row to the famed slopes of Portillo, Chile, August 14-21. NASTC brings skiers from all over the world who haven't had enough of winter and skiing to this beautiful South American resort for a week long ski camp.
Portillo has been known to have record snowfalls and weather similar to that of the Sierra Nevada mountains in California which is only one of the many reasons of why skiers flock to this resort every year. The atmosphere at Portillo is often described as magical; it also the chosen summer training spot for the U.S. and Austrian National Ski Teams. It is not uncommon to find yourself eating dinner at a table next to these top World Cup athletes.

If you are not an Olympic hopeful, no need to worry as NASTC camps are designed for skiing mortals and not national champions. Their camps are for intermediate and advanced skiers who aspire to bring their skiing skills up a level and have a great vacation while doing it. As part of their program in Portillo, NASTC offers six full days of coaching by members of the PSIA (Professional Ski Instructors of America) National Demonstration Team – put plainly, “the best of the best.” In addition to the time spent out on the hill, the NASTC group gathers indoors for personalized video reviews, tech talks, ping pong tournaments and basketball games.
