Former Minnesota Olympians Kristina Koznick and Tasha Nelson Return to the Midwest to Coach Adult Ski Racers

Minneapolis, MN, December 13, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Minnesota-native and two time Olympian Tasha Nelson McCrank will be coaching a slalom ski camp at Buck Hill on December 14th from 7am to 5pm in conjunction with Midwest Masters adult ski racing organization. The camp is geared towards adult skiers looking to improve their technical and racing skills as well as individuals who are interested in getting into slalom racing for the first time. "Shaped skis have made a huge difference in the sport," said Ryan Fuller, Board President of Midwest Masters. "We want to get people excited about ski racing and provide an option for adults to be active and healthy in the wintertime. Ski racing is a great way to remain active in the winter months and to meet new people."

As a participant in the camp, racers will receive a full day of coaching along with video analysis led by Tasha and a DVD of their training that day. Pierce Skate & Ski of Bloomington and the Roseville Area High School Alpine Ski Team will provide participants with the gear needed to participate at no cost, including racing skis. The full day camp is $60/person and registration can be done online at www.midwestmasters.org but register early as space is very limited.

In addition to this, three time Olympian, Minnesota-native, and former World Cup superstar Kristina Koznick Landa (better known as "Koz") will be coaching a similar camp also hosted by Midwest Masters at Boyne Mountain Resort in Boyne, Michigan on Saturday, Dec 21. This will be Kristina's second time working with Midwest Masters on an adult camp.

Midwest Masters is the Midwest's only USSA Masters Alpine Club, and provides the highest level of Alpine Ski Racing in the region. All races are sanctioned by the United States Ski & Snowboard Association (USSA) which is the governing body for ski racing in the United States and the parent organization of the US Ski Team.
