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 & core
strength 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: slalom/giant slalom skis and poles (if you have both) and ski boots. Helmets-both SL
and GS-required for training and freeskiing.
• Goggles (required for gate training), sunglasses, sun-block, lip-block.
• 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 days/nights especially in Colorado (sweaters, long pants, jackets), warm days could demand

shorts and t-shirts and occasional rain gear (especially in Oregon).
• 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, swimsuit, alarm clock (each room has a radio/alarm clock and wake-up calls
––but some may need the extra alarm as a backup!).

How It Works
Arrival days: Nov 19 or Nov 23.
Depart day: Nov. 30 (or evening Nov. 29 -
special arrangements are made for this early
departure following training)
Our new schedule offers a number of benefits
(one of the most obvious: you can take that
pesky mid-term test before the Thanksgiving
break!) along with premium training space and
fewer crowds at Copper. With the addition of our
Vail program, you will gain huge strides of
confidence and practice, with our:
3 days ON - 1 day OFF - 6 days ON format.
The Vail segment is demanding; snow
conditions are aggressive (injected snow
means "ice" or hard-hard snow) and our
training partners can frequently include World
Cup racers tuning up for early season World
Cup races. If you are thinking about including
Vail in your training plans, please call us to
discuss.
Going the whole route will be challenging, but
we think our skiers will benefit from this
intensive session. We will provide a detailed
schedule and confirmation letter upon receiving
your registration.  Join us at our primary camp at
Copper, or expand your training by skiing with
Olin/Lacasse at two World Class Ski Areas--Vail
and Copper Mountain.  If you would like more
detailed information on our program, please
don't hesitate to call us at: TonyO 612-819-0186
What We Do
Whether at Mount Hood, Vail or
Copper Mountain, Colorado, our
training day begins early. In order
to take advantage of special lane
space, our training day will
typically begin at 8:00AM. The
world class resorts of Vail and
Copper Mtn. are 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. Typically, we have racers
attending our camps form all over
the United States, Canada, and
Europe.
