Dan C. says about our Clinics & Demos:
"I can't say enough good things about Davide's skimo clinic. From seasoned skimo racers to first timers in our group, Davide really went out of his way to make sure each person improved their skills, had a great time, and ultimately left the clinic a better skier than they were before. You will not be disappointed!"

“Then came the gadgeteer, otherwise known as the sporting-goods dealer. He has draped the American outdoorsman with an infinity of contraptions, all offered as aids to self-reliance, hardihood, woodcraft, or marksmanship, but too often functioning as substitutes for them. Gadgets fill the pockets, they dangle from neck and belt. The overflow fills the auto-trunk and also the trailer. Each item of outdoor equipment grows lighter and often better, but the aggregate poundage becomes tonnage.”
