Camps & Training The goal of the U12 camps is to build the foundation for good skiing and to develop ski fundamentals through free skiing, drills and drill courses as well as some gate training and video analysis. Dry-land education and physical activities are a part of every day, as well as some mental training, goal setting, and ski tuning. During the school year, all racers are expected to complete their homework assignments while attending camp and time is set aside every afternoon for this purpose. Time management skills are critical to success. All U12 athletes are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity.

The U14 Program promotes development of the fundamental skills of ski racing both in a team environment and in an Individual series. Alpine Canada and the Canadian Ski Coaches’Federation feel it is imperative for U14 athletes to continue to learn and develop fundamental skills so technical emphasis will focus primarily on Giant Slalom and Slalom radius with good movement. Exploration and exposure to speed and ski cross elements are included. All U14 athletes, especially those wishing to compete at the Division 1 level, are invited to attend the Copper Mountain Fall Camp. This resort is known for great early season conditions and caters to the needs of ski racers both on and off hill. Take this opportunity to train with Alpine’s Elite athletes and other top athletes from the Escarpment! Similar to last season, U14 athletes have two available programs, the regular 10-Week Program and an All-Inclusive Program that supplements the 10-Week Program with an extended training component. Athletes hoping to qualify as part of Alpine’s quota for Division 1 Races must be registered in the All-Inclusive option. The goal of the U14 camps is to build the foundation for good skiing and to develop ski fundamentals through free skiing, drills and drill courses as well as some gate training and video analysis. Dry-land education and physical activities are apart of every day, as well as some mental training, goal setting and ski tuning. During the school year, all racers are expected to complete their homework assignments while attending camp and time is set aside every afternoon for this purpose. Time management skills are critical to success. We encourage all U14s to take advantage of this opportunity.

A L P I N E S K I C L U B 28 U16 Programs Camps & Training U18 & U20 Program U16 athletes are 14 and 15 years old. Training at this level is a minimum 3-day per week season commitment. For most second year U16s this extends to 4 days per week. U16 athletes begin their high performance training through the Individual Program, offered in two variations that continue to develop strong technical and racing skills, but that differ by commitment and competitive intensity: the 10-Week Program (Division 2/moderate) and the All-Inclusive (Division 1/high). Fall Camps and Season Camps are a component of the U16 Program. Copper Mountain Pre-Season Camp U18 athletes are 16 and 17 years old. Alpine will be offering three programs for these athletes: Weekend, Extended, and the SOD Team. The proven elements of every successful ski racer are effective coordination with their academic endeavours, time on snow, and physical and mental training. Collingwood has a high concentration of ski racers and the shortest number of ski days of any skiing place in the world. Consequently, it becomes imperative to spend time away skiing in order to stay competitive with other Provinces. Away training provides exposure to a variety of terrain and increases the number of days on snow. The Mid December camp is the only mandatory camp; the rest are optional however attending one of the camps at Mt. Hood in July and/or August and Copper Mountain in November is strongly recommended. Weekend/Division 2 Program - 10 Weeks Racing will continue in much the same way as the experience in the U14 Program. Christmas and New Year’s Camps are both included. Team selection will take place during Christmas Camp. Time on snow is crucial at this level and attending preseason camps will help athletes prepare for the season. Saturdays: 9:00 am - 3:30 pm, 1-hour lunch (11 am - 12 pm), Sundays: 9:00 am - 3:00 pm Price: $1,422.00, After Nov. 15th: $1,706.00, After Dec. 15th: $1,852.00 Individual/Division 1 Program This program offers the individual athletes high performance training. For most second year U16s a 4 day per week on-hill commitment is strongly recommended. The mid December Camp is included in the Program price. This Program requires not only an on snow commitment to race training, but also to a dry-land program that will help ensure the fitness level and strength required to be successful. The athlete should commit to off season dry-land training as well as both on and off snow training from November to the end of April. In an effort to provide the highest possible level of program for our U16 Individual athletes we are happy to have Wayne Howard returning as the Head Coach of the U16 Division 1 Program. We will continue to work with other clubs to provide the best possible training environments for our athletes. The goal of this program is to produce the most successful U16 athletes on and off the hill in Canada.

NSA - National FIS Racing & Academic Program This program provided by the National Ski Academy in Collingwood is an allinclusive package that includes camps, race fees, travel and accommodation, transportation, coaching, fitness, ski suit and private school education. At this commitment level the student athlete will receive up to 130 days on snow and up to 35 FIS race starts following the AIM guidelines defined by Alpine Canada (ACA). The program begins August 15th when the student athlete travels to Switzerland for an 8-week camp that includes approximately 35 training days on the glaciers in Saas Fe and Zermatt and a 4-day educational excursion in Europe (past trips have included Paris,Rome and Geneva). During the time in Switzerland, NSA teachers begin delivering the first semester curriculum and a heavy emphasis is placed on physical conditioning and injury prevention. After returning from Europe and prior to the competitive season, athletes will continue their on-snow training in Quebec, Alberta and locally in Collingwood. With a heavy emphasis on academics during this period, most students will complete their first semester courses prior to Christmas. From January through March a typical weekday (when not travelling for a race series) involves a high intensity on-snow training session from 8:30-noon, lunch, afternoon classes, dryland training, dinner and evening classes until 9:00 pm. Many NSA student athletes chooseto return to their home school for the second semester. In these cases, the NSA academic staff can liaise with the home school to deliver curriculum until the transition point at the end of the race season. Full-time boarding is available at additional cost. The NSA is a non-profit ski academy and fully accredited private school located at 200 Oak Street in Collingwood.
