ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The U19/21 program is aimed at providing athletes between 16 and 20 years old with programming based on the ACA Train to Race and Train to Win phases. At this level, athlete performance becomes a strong focus of the competition, while development of strong skiing skills remains a crucial element of the program. Athletes will ski SL and GS events and may be introduced to Speed events.

Our program starts with optional dryland training in the fall, which is included with registration and plays a part in preparing athletes for ski season. Dryland training happens once a week for 4 weeks with activities relating to general fitness (core strength, endurance, agility, and balance). You will be notified of the dates and location in advance, and will be asked to sign up for each date that you wish to attend. 

On-snow activities start with a 4-day Christmas camp from December 27th – 30th 2022, where skiers get reacquainted with snow training, working both on and off the course. Christmas camp runs from 9am to 3pm, with a one-hour lunch break. Please note that camp dates and hours may be reduced should weather and snow conditions create an unsafe environment or limit terrain availability.
