Nordic

This introductory program is for athletes ages 7-11 who want to learn both skate and classic techniques while having fun. ITS 1 athletes focus on fun while learning the basic gears in both disciplines. ITS Level 2 is for young athletes with experience in both skate and classic techniques. ITS Level 2 has an emphasis on developing both skills and fitness, while still having fun and advancing skills. For ITS 2 the minimum age is 8 and athletes must have a season of ITS level 1 before advancing to level 2. At this level racing is optional and the emphasis on learning to race more than being competitive.

The Devo program offers a couple of different tracks. One track is for competitively driven, experienced skiers (U12 and older) seeking individualized training and competition opportunities. Devo serves as a competitive bridge program from the Prep team to the Comp team for those looking to have a competitive program. There is also a Devo flex program for those who want to continue to increase their skills but aren’t looking to be highly competitive – they want to pursue skiing for the love of a life-long sport. The flex program is 2 days a week. The Devo team meets 3 sessions per week with increased days on race weeks. Training includes summer dryland team sessions and individualized (on-your-own) training, in addition to fall dryland and winter on-snow sessions. The RMN races are optional, and devo skiers are encouraged to participate in their school nordic team.

Our Comp program offers multiple options. Our year-round program is designed for highly competitive athletes: Nordic skiing is their passion! This program offers high and post-high-school skiers year-round training and race opportunities. Comp team athletes have both dryland and on-snow training opportunities, with the additional option of 3-4 training camps per year. Training opportunities include individualized goal setting, monthly training plan analysis, customized team and on-your-own technical training, mental coaching, strength and plyometric training, and race strategy. Other options at the comp level are:

• Comp winter-only: ideal for those who do other sports or travel in the summer and fall (October – March).
• Comp summer: ideal for those who want to train in the summer but do a fall sport  (June – August).
