Programs
Competition Team: Our Comp Team is for individuals who are 14 and older as of January 1st 2010. This program is designed to build confidence in ones skiing ability, whether for competition or recreation. Those skiers who are looking to be strong junior racers should consider this program. Athletes will compete regionally, as well as nationally throughout the ski season. Training for this program is done year-round, with focus on technique, strength, endurance, speed and mental toughness. We strive to create an autonomous well rounded athlete, and our goal is to develop top Nordic athletes.
Comp Team training is from June 7th, 2010 to March 12, 2011
Dryland Summer is 5 days/week, Mon-Fri. 8:30am-11:00am( with some travel on weekends and for camps)
Dryland Fall and on snow is 5 days/week. Tues-Fri 3:45- 6:00pm

Competition- Development : Our Comp-Devo Team is for skiers who are serious, or just curious, about Nordic skiing. As the name implies, we are trying to bridge the gap between the Development Team and the Comp Team. Your child must be 12 or older as of January 1st 2010. If your child is too old to be a Devo Skier, but not ready to compete at the competition level, this is the right team. Or, if your child has been on the Devo Team for two or three years and has mastered the “basics” this is the right team.
This team is a 3 or 4 day a week commitment,depending on the skier’s program. There is a 3 day summer program, a 3 day winter program, and a year round 3 day dryland 4 day snow program. The Comp/Devo Team has great racing opportunities and we encourage entering races at this level. At the Comp Devo level, the focus will be on improving balance, cardiovascular fitness, technique, rhythm, power, and strength. The travel team is based on age and ability.
