Friday, 27 November 2009Free Nordic walking lessons and free Nordic walking pole rentals will be hosted in celebration of Winter Trails Day on January 9, 2010, in Glen Arbor, Michigan. Winter Trails Day is a national snowsports day. The free Nordic Walking Lessons and pole rentals will be provided by Glen Arbor’s www.skiwalking.com and the American Nordic Walking System.
The focus in Glen Arbor will be on Nor dic Walking, while other supporting locations across the country will be promoting other Nordic Sports – including Nordic Skiing (cross country) and Nordic Snowshoeing. Nordic Walking, Nordic Skiing and Nordic snowshoeing (snowshoeing with poles) are all wonderful ways for children and adults to discover the many healthy fitness and social benefits of enjoying winter.
Nordic Walking is unique in that walking with specialized Nordic Walking Poles can be done in any climate and any time of year. Currently over 8 million Europeans are walking with poles – in the cities, out in the country and up in the mountains. Nordic Walking poles are equipped with durable metal tips for off-road use – grass, trails, the beach snow and ice. Nordic Walking poles are also designed to accept rubber tips/paws for use on pavement and other hard surfaces.
Walking with poles has been proven to burn up to 40% more calories than walking without poles. When using the perfect length poles and the correct technique the stress to the shins, knees, hips and back are radically reduced. Balance, stability and gait are also hugely improved.
Edwards has been teaching Nordic Walking classes all across the country and has received positive feedback from thousands of individuals of all ages and all fitness levels. Many participants in his classes refer to his user-friendly one-piece poles as "miracle sticks", but in reality, the success is all about biomechanics. Hosting Nordic Walking classes is extremely enjoyable for Edwards and he especially enjoys hosting Nordic Walking clinics for MS, Parkinson’s and Diabetes support groups, plus Wounded Warrior Programs. Edwards has proven that Nordic Walking is no longer just for expert skiers deprived of snow during the summer.

Almost daily Edwards hears stories about the many shortcomings of twist-lock and flip-lock poles. According to Nick Mahood, SWIX USA Nordic Walking Director, "Pete Edwards, The American Nordic Walking System and skiwalking.com's owner/founder/coach, has single handedly introduced thousands of Americans to Nordic Walking through his enthusiastic Nordic Walking clinics! I have no doubt that Edwards is the #1 retailer of Nordic Walking Poles in the USA! You can quote me on that!" The free Nordic Walking lessons and pole rentals will be available from 10am –2pm on Saturday, January 9th. The home office of skiwalking.com and the American Nordic Walking System is located at 5873 South Lake Street in Glen Arbor. Advance reservations are not required, but appreciated.

Tuesday, 24 November 2009The online auction of the former Elk Meadows Ski Resort in Beaver County, Utah, has drawn significant attention from potential investors across the globe, according to the LFC Group of Companies, the online auction marketing company in charge of the sale. After receiving nearly 9,000 visits to the property webpage, LFC has moved the auction to an online bidding format, allowing registered bidders to compete for this property in a fair and transparent online auction.
“The property is unique and represents an incredible development opportunity for a buyer with vision,” said LFC’s Director of Sales Shawn Miller. “Still, the positive response is not unexpected. Take a special project like Elk Meadows, add our industry-leading online platform and auction strategy, and you’ll get a global event, replete with significant interest and widespread media attention.”

Monday, 23 November 2009With heavy snow already falling in the Alps, price comparison site Carrentals.co.uk is advising skiers to book their car hire early to avoid disappointment, with the summer season seeing many destinations suffering from a shortage in the number of hire cars available.
Destinations where Carrentals.co.uk has seen the strongest demand include Switzerland, France and Italy, with the booki ng period peaking between 19th and 26th December.
Gareth Robinson, managing director of www.carrentals.co.uk, says: "So far this year we have seen many incidents where there has been a shortage in the number of cars available for hire and with the early snow fall we are seeing this year in the Alps, we would advise anyone planning a ski trip to book their car hire as soon as possible to guarantee availability."
With many of the budget airlines offering affordable flights to some of the top ski resorts, good skiing conditions are likely to tempt skiers to take to the slopes on more than one occasion this season, with pistes having already opened to the public in Austria.
Gareth adds: "With a choice of low-cost airlines offering deals on flights to some of the top ski destinations, we are seeing increasing numbers of people booking their holidays independently, meaning that car hire is in high demand. Booking early can avoid any disappointment and also allows customers to reserve important accessories such as snow chains and child seats - all of which are limited in supply."
Carrentals.co.uk compares car hire deals from up to 35 rental companies, including Alamo, Budget, EasyCar, Holiday Autos and Sixt, in over 9,000 locations worldwide. Current ski deals include rental from GBP17 per day at Bergamo Airport; from GBP15 per day at Denver Airport; from GBP27 per day at Banff Airport; and from GBP22 per day at Geneva Airport.
To compare the best ski deals visit www.carrentals.co.uk. *Prices are based on seven-day rental from 16 November 2009 and are subject to change.
