NASTC is a high-performance ski school for intermediate, advanced, and expert skiers based in the Tahoe. This is the ultimate ski vacation: great resorts, fun-loving people, delicious food, fine wine and beautiful hotels. We offer multi-day total immersion clinics led by PSIA Demonstration Team members and AMGA guides at the premier mountains in the world. The Professional Ski Instructors of America's elite Demonstration Team is comprised of the nation's top 15 ski instructors, selected every 4 years. Our Ski Guides - certified by the American Mountain Guides Association - have the skills and expertise to lead you safely out of bounds.

Since 1994 NASTC has been helping skiers improve on whatever conditions and terrain challenge them most: powder, bumps, chutes, trees, groomers, crud, etc. Our students return because they imporve; 80% said they met their skiing goals with NASTC! The total immersion teaching technique is not a quick fix or band-aid approach. It is a multi-layered process that incorporates the body, mind, and spirit. NASTC has broken new ground by providing such a high-end ski training experience for anyone who can at least make a basic parallel turn. We coined the phrase "all-conditions/all terrain adventure skiing," and that what we do! The NASTC program allows each student to participate in a dynamic and effective learning process, answering the question "What's next?"

For every one of our students the goal started out very similar: to become a better skier. Little did they know that what they were truly embarking on was a quest to open future doors to the exciting world of performance skiing. With our highly trained, friendly, and fun-loving staff, our students found new life in their skiing and new freedom in their journey in the mountains. Welcome to NASTC! And we want you to know that if none of these dates fit your groups' schedule, NASTC is happy to put together a special course for you! It could be for your friends, family, business, or private coaching just for you.

Come to NASTC, and make your adventure skiing vacation dreams come true…now!
