Internal Gear Night (Used Gear) - September 14

The Alpine Program will be hosting our annual internal gear swap in the Snow King Lodge Room on Thursday September 14th, from 5-7pm! The internal swap is for families that would like to buy and sell used or new gear to/from other members of the JHSC Alpine! This is a great opportunity to get ready for the season without paying full price for new equipment! We will have coaches present to help with sizing and help answer any questions you may have! Please join us and help the next generation by selling your unwanted gear! JHSC will provide a space for families to sell and buy and coaches but we will not facilitate any piece of the transactions! Bring your gear to sell and/or come to see what JHSC families have to offer!

Ski Rep Equipment Night (New Gear) - September 18

On Monday September 18th from 4-7pm we will have our regional ski rep night in the Snow King Lodge Room! This event is for athletes of all ages who are looking for new gear for the season! Athletes will be able to see the new products, get sized up and place their order! Coaches will be present to help make the process easier and answer any sizing questions you may have! We will have reps from most brands: POC, Head, Fischer, Dynastar/Lange, Rossignol, Volkl, Marker, Dalbello, Nordica and Atomic!

The FIS team just returned home from 2 weeks in El Colorado, Chile for a productive on snow training camp! This was the first time that JHSC alpine has taken a team to South America during the summer months! Seems like it will not be the last!

U16 Alpine dryland athletes continue working hard in preparation for snow to fly!

Summer dryland is slowly coming to an end with the start of the school year. Our athletes have been working incredibly hard 5 days a week since the spring to get their bodies and minds ready for the season ahead! With school starting, we will be moving from early morning workout sessions to after school!
