Clarification on training schedule

The base program meets on Sat and Sun only. This training is essential and is where we run with a full coaching staff and do necessary drills, skills, progressions and direct and specific coaching at the athlete’s skill level. 

Weekday add-on training is an additional advanced gate training meant to complement the base program work. Weeknights have a limited coaching staff on limited terrain and aimed at more advanced and more committed racers. 

There is no combi / build your own race program offered. The base program is not a pick-any-two-days program. It is Saturdays and Sundays as weather and conditions permits. 

It would be a disservice to the developing athlete to skip the full weekend program. Furthermore, we do not have the coaching coverage to handle lower end racers on weeknights as far as providing the specialized training required. 

While all who register are welcome, weeknights require a bit more autonomy and maturity as we use more difficult course sets on more difficult terrain. We advise parents of smaller/younger lesser skilled skiers to be in the general area out on the hill. These kids should take less runs in the course and more time free skiing to the side. Directed free skiing is just as important as repetitive course running.
