(Free Press Release) Kirkwood, CA, - March 24, 2011- Kirkwood has traditionally been known for gnarly terrain - steeps, chutes, cornices and bowls - and powder hounds flock there in droves to get a piece of The Mountain's notorious terrain. Meanwhile, Kirkwood's Tahoe Learning Center has been quietly developing into one of the regions premier learning facilities and a go-to location for Tahoe ski lessons, snowboard lessons, women‘s ski programs and, as a certified Burton Learn to Ride Center, specialized women's snowboarding programs. The most important difference with the Tahoe Learning Center as opposed to other Tahoe ski schools is that the learning terrain is separate from the rest of the mountain providing a safer and less intimidating learning environment. The terrain is gentle and evenly sloped and is the perfect outdoor classroom for the Tahoe Learning Center's ski and snowboard lessons and women‘s ski programs and snowboard clinics. The Tahoe Learning Center is a top choice for those searching for Tahoe ski lessons or snowboard lessons. Their staff is made up of patient and qualified instructors, many of which are PSIA (Professional Ski Instructors of America or AASI (American Association of Snowboard Instructors) certified. These instructors are dedicated to getting you on the hill! Once skiers and riders are ready to leave the comfort zone of the Tahoe Learning Center and spread their wings, it's time to move on to Expedition: Kirkwood. Expedition: Kirkwood's offering is unique and diverse and encourages skiers and riders to explore the whole mountain with higher level ski and snowboard lessons and specialty clinics. In addition, Expedition: Kirkwood offers a range of women's ski programs and women‘s snowboard clinics. The 3 Day Women‘s Weekend is an annual favorite and is open to all levels from beginner through advanced with ladies coming from as far as New York to participate year after year. This season Expedition: Kirkwood also held women's specific one day clinics in December, January and February for intermediate to advanced skiers and riders. However, no matter what the ability of the participants, the focus is always on building solid skills and exploring the mountain with confidence. For locals and travelers looking for Tahoe ski lessons or snowboard lessons and ladies seeking out women's ski programs or women's specific snowboard clinics, Kirkwood should be at the top of the list. Kirkwood's Tahoe Learning Center and Expedition: Kirkwood offer complimentary programs that take skiers and riders from day one through to advanced, all mountain rippers realizing that these sports are not just a weekend activity but a way of life.
