New Training Opportunities for young athletes

New this season we have put together training opportunities for young athletes in alpine ski racing, freestyle moguls and snowboarding.

The first is available to young athletes during the Christmas break. Whether you are an athlete on your school's team, apart of another program or just looking for quality training, this is for you. Please review the information below.

Junior Holiday Training Camp

Dec 26 – 31 - 6-day on-snow camp

Ages: J1-5 (9 – 18yrs.) - Alpine Ski Racing, Freestyle Mogul Skiing and Snowboard

It is proven that athletic success is a product of consistency, hard work, proper technique, repetition and good coaching. Our Holiday Training Camp is the place to make this happen. Our staff of dedicated coaches and alumni athletes will help snowsport athletes find a path to meet their goals. The Holiday Training Camp, based on a six-day camp model will use current USSA/USST teaching methods of building and stressing solid fundamental skills and movements, such as body position, stance, carving and transitions. All athletes will be placed in age appropriate groups and must have strong intermediate skiing and riding skills. They must have the stamina and independence to be on snow all day.
Hours: 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. with a lunch break
Training fee: $40.00 per person per day. Lift Ticket not included, sold separately. Reservations Required.
