Alpine Updates – November 16th, 2020 Dear Team Summit Alpine Community: We remain blessed by both the snow conditions and the extraordinary support of Copper Mountain Resort to be able to provide great training opportunities to our Ability Class and Age Class teams. With many athletes notching 15 days or more, there are few athletes in the country who have been able to ski as much.  The US 2020-21 Ski Race season began today with the 2020 US Women's National Championship GS at Copper. Congratulations to Team Summit's Olyvia Snyder who finished 25th in her first National...

Bar Patterns: Catch, Snatch in a Full Squat

Written by Team Summit on . Posted in Archive 2020, strength training.

Snatch, Catch In A Full Squat So you’ve reached the point where you have mastered all of the bar patterns we use to warm up prior to every strength training session. Now it’s time to start adding some load slowly, then some speed to the Olympic Lifts. Let’s dive right into the Olympic Lift, the snatch. When you receive (or catch) the snatch in an upright, standing position, it’s called a power snatch. This is fine, but let’s try to be more athletic and catch the lift in a full squat. The best way to learn to do this is to start the lift at the crease. Once you...

Written by Team Summit on . Posted in Admin Message, Archive 2020.

Updates from the Executive Director October 28th, 2020 It is an exciting time of year as the cold and natural snow have us poised to begin our on-snow training.  This is what we work for and we are ready. Keep in mind as you read this that we are moving as fast as possible to finalize our operations, but delays in the creation of state and county health guidelines delay our resort partners ability to create their COVID related operating plans, which delays the ability of our governing bodies to schedule competitions, which delays some of our planning. I can tell you that at least...

Alpine Updates – October 23rd, 2020 Dear Team Summit Alpine Athletes, Parent, Coaches, and Interested Parties: The Alpine Coaching staff spent today on the mountain helping the dedicated Copper Mountain Race Department prepare the venue for training.   The width of the trail on the bottom half of Copperopolis does not allow training lanes to be designated. The available training lanes are less than one half of what will be available in the coming days. As a result of fewer lanes and COVID limitations on capacity, we will not be able to accommodate all of those who have expressed...
