“AIM†Master XC Ski Retreat
Dec 7-10, 2006
Tamarack Resort, Idaho
There may be no shortcuts to training but there are to learning!
A.I.M. – or the Athletic Imaging Method came to life as a new state-of-the-art improvement tool for master skiers. Technique, balance, rhythm, force application and power are captured through professional videography and computer imaging with Dartfish software and analyzed by leading experts in master’s cross-country skiing. Jim Fredericks and Jon Engen are introducing this improvement opportunity to the public with a 4 day Retreat at Idaho's Tamarack Resort in early December.
Athletic Imagery Method
 will provide the master athlete with the most accelerated learning system available for analyzing technique, balance, and force application. Each participant will immediately see the benefit of this unique learning device via Dartfish computerized feedback and professional video sessions. America’s foremost master skiing coaches will guide you through a step by step approach to making the necessary changes in technique and training. Each participant will view themselves on a projected screen format along with an athlete of ideal technique. This allows a direct comparison of each individual’s body position and timing through split screen analysis, multi-image body stromotion, and image overlaying. Skiers will immediately see differences in technique and even more important, be given the tools to correct their individual problem areas. This technique imagery program is currently being utilized by many of the world’s best athletes.<br />
Who Is The Retreat For? The retreat is for any individual who has a passion for improving classic and skate techniques for racing and training or for anyone looking to enjoy more efficient skiing. </p>
