The Competition Team is designed for skiers who are traveling to races who are committed to training and improving their skiing on technical and competitive levels. The goal of the program is encourage each skier to commit to a goal and embrace the process.
The process is fun and involves being outside with your friends, climbing mountains, skiing beautiful trails, and playing games. The curriculum incorporates a block training program to ensure endurance capacity, strength training, peaking, volume, and interval training at the proper time periods throughout the winter.
Entry fees, coaching fees, travel, and accommodations related to competitions are not covered by 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.
