The Competition Team is for skiers aged 14 and older who are dedicated to improving their technical and competitive skiing skills and travel to races. The program encourages skiers to set goals and embrace the training process.
Training is enjoyable and includes outdoor activities with friends, mountain climbing, skiing on beautiful trails, and playing games. The curriculum features a block training program to build endurance, strength, and peak performance, with the right mix of volume and interval training throughout the winter.
To maximize practice efficiency, team members should bring their own kick wax for classic skis and arrive with waxed skis. A small kit (Swix cork, V45, V55, V65 kick waxes) can be purchased online or at Gallatin Alpine Sports or Bangtail.
Please note that entry fees, coaching fees, travel, and accommodations for competitions are not included in the program fee.
This option is for Development, Development Plus and Competition athletes and incorporates strength training, intervals, and games. Training is three times per week during November. Click here to learn more.
No. There are a number of local races and travel races. You should just come to whichever you want. If you don’t want to do any competition but still come to all the trainings that is more than ok!
The travel races are in cool places, and a great way to bond with the team. It is a great way to have a fun weekend, even if you don’t want to raise the competitive level. That being said, if you are trying to race at a higher level, coming to the races is the best option.
