What We Do
Whether at Mount Hood, Austria, or Copper Mountain, Colorado,
our training day begins early. In order to take advantage of special
lane space, our Mount Hood training will typically begin at 7:00AM.
The world class resort at Timberline is serviced by
state-of-the-art lifts. On an average day, a racer can expect to
achieve 15-20 quality gate-training runs. This translates to more
gates, more practice and more learning. We divide our enrollment
into groups based on ability. We aim to achieve a ratio of 8-10
skiers per coach. Each group develops from fundamentally based
exercises with directed free skiing and gate drills and rapidly
progresses into full-on gate training. You can expect to have
training mates of your caliber and/or often ones who challenge
you to set your sights higher than your present level. We are
expecting to have racers attending our camps form all over the
United States, Canada, and Europe.

| Typical Daily Schedule |
Dryland Training
We will have a variety of Dryland training
activities; among them include: running,
swimming, sport games (such as soccer)
and a variety of calisthenics and exercise
(such as circuit training). We are, however,
primarily concerned with getting down to
the intricacies of technical skiing and skill
acquisition. Therefore,our activities
regarding dryland training will be dictated
by our needs on the ski hill, i.e., after a long
day on the slopes.

What to Bring
 | • Ski Equipment including: slalom and giant slalom skis, slalom and giant slalom poles if you | |
| have both and ski boots. Helmets-both SL and GS-are required for training. | ||
| • Goggles (required for gate training), sunglasses, sun-block (SPF 15 minimum), lip-block | |
| (SPF 15 minimum) | ||
| • Racing gear–helmets are required for GS training, mouth and/or face-protecting head-gear | |
| is required for slalom training. Shin-guards and hand-guard protection are also required for
slalom training. | ||
| • Regular clothing: temperature and weather can vary dramatically in the mountains. Be | |
| prepared for quite cool nights (sweaters, long pants, jackets), warm days could demand
shorts and t-shirts and occasional rain gear. Historic dining at nearby Silverthorne, Colorado, or at the Timberline Lodge, OR, as well as Tyrolian SommerFest nights requires a nice set of casual attire. | ||
| • Other Stuff that you might not have thought of: Small back-pack for extra clothing, snacks, | |
| water while on the mountain. Soft-sided lunch box if you want to pack snacks for the mountain, water bottle (double size or liter works best), extra set of gloves, running shoes and work-out clothes for dryland/physical training, alarm clock (each room has a radio/alarm clock and wake-up calls ––but some may need the extra alarm as a backup!). |
