On this weekend there will be two intermediate level ski lessons given by Paddy Pallin, organized in conjunction with the Canberra Cross Country Ski Club. On Saturday there is the 'Intermediate/Advanced Skills' and on Sunday the 'Beginning Telemarking'. Each lesson costs $59.95 (discounted price, the normal price is $124), and I believe they take place in the Perisher area. I will be going to at least the 'Beginning Telemarking' lesson. Depending on the available interest and numbers we might go to one of the lessons in one day, and go for a small ski tour in the other day. Or go to both lessons.

If you're interested you have to book (and pay) the lesson directly with Paddy Pallin, not with me. This is done by calling (02) 6456 2922. But please sign up for this trip so I can organize the transportation.

IMPORTANT: These lessons have a maximum number of 10 participants. Due to the discounted price and the fact that they are also advertised in the Canberra Cross Country Ski Club, they will fill up very quickly. Please to book as early as possible, otherwise you'll miss out! (Last year the CCCSC trips were fully booked one month in advance.)

We will camp at the new camp site close to Island Bend, and leave Canberra in the Saturday morning (leaving on Friday afternoon possible if there is enough interest). It is possible that other people will have another intermediate ski trip for this weekend. If so, we can join them on Saturday if not going to the lesson.

UPDATE (22/5/2008): I got more information from Paddy Pallin. The lessons will take all day and start at 9:30 in Smiggins. Hence we will have to leave Canberra no later than 6:00am sharp.
