Previous camp testimonial:
Roddy provided an excellent Master’s ski camp. I particularly appreciated the low coach to student ratio which allowed for individual feedback during each session. I found the technique sessions informative, and the individual video and review very useful! All in all, an excellent three days of classic and skate ski improvement. I would definitely participate again- many thanks! - Kathleen Davies.
