ADULT TRAINING GROUP

Enjoy summer or fall dryland and/or winter coached workouts with a great community of skiers. 

SUMMER & FALL: Dryland training includes ski imitation, running, strength and agility to get you ready for ski season. At BSF & local trails.

WINTER: Winter sessions include a mix of classic and skate techniques, but we can accommodate for both during workouts if you prefer one over the other. Perfect for getting (or staying) in shape and/or for tackling cross-country ski races. At Sunset Hills trails in town.

Recommended for: intermediate & advanced skiers.

Technique and Intensity: We will offer technique-focused training and intensity-focused training options. You can identify this focus after you register, and it can be flexible week by week based on your goals, training calendar, and events. We understand that goals and training changes for adults year to year, based on many factors. We feel this will give everyone the best possible combination of training. Depending on interest, we have planned race trips to events such as the American Birkie, and the Boulder Mountain Tour. These trips will have additional costs for coaching, waxing, lodging etc.
