Cross Country
Comp Team: This is a year round program
that helps skiers in the J2, J1 and OJ classes (ages 14-18 – high
school) develop racing skills and fitness. Participants receive year
round coaching with regular training beginning in May and including
frequent summer training camps. Team members are expected to compete in
Junior National Qualifier events and have many opportunities to travel
with the team in vans to competitions throughout the West and to compete
at the highest national events. On-snow training sessions are held 5-6
days per week starting when the snow arrives. Locker and waxing
facilities provided at the Lake Creek Hut.
Prep Team: This program is designed to introduce
younger skiers in the J3-J4 classes (ages 10-13) to racing and training,
while continuing to improve ski technique and general on-ski skills. In
addition to track skiing, skiers on Prep Team can look forward to
telemark skiing, backcountry skiing and overnight yurt trips. There are
also opportunities to compete in local events and to travel with
parents to some competitions. Fall dryland begins in October, with
practices running on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays through mid March.
Locker and waxing facilities provided at the Lake Creek Hut.
Devo Team: This is a fun youth program for children 2nd - 5th
grade at the Lake Creek and Quigley training facilities. We focus on
creating a fun team dynamic and learning atmosphere through games,
off-trail adventures, big-air contests, challenging workouts, optional
yurt trips and the occasional ski burning/marshmallow roasting ritual!
Skiers learn the basics of cross -country skiing, both classic and skate
with an emphasis on developing good technique. We provide the
opportunity for children to learn the benefits of long-term commitment
to a challenging set of skills that involve self-dicipline, outdoor
preparedness, a love of the outdoors and plain old hard work.
Fall dryland begins the first week of November and runs two days per
week. On snow training, two days per week December through early
March and locker storage provided at Lake Creek or Quigley. Lake Creek Team meets Mondays and Wednesdays, Quigley Team meets Tuesdays and Thursdays 3:00 - 4:30pm
