Alpine Program Updates
The Alpine Team had a very productive fall of dryland workouts and international camps. We have a great staff of coaches ready to foster an even more amazing group of athletes into the season.
Coaching opportunities
We are seeking to hire Alpine race coaches who are committed to student-athlete development and will support them on their way to success in ski racing, academics, and life. Applicants should have race/coaching experience, along with a USSA or PSIA certification. Benefits include passes to Snow King and JHMR.

Austria Camp
We had 11 athletes and 3 coaches go to Europe for a pre-season training trip! Conditions made for excellent Fall on-snow training, and athletes were able to freeski, work on drills, and train both SL & GS. Along with the great training, they got to experience the culture and food of Austria and even traveled over to Sölden for the GS World Cup Race!
Colorado Camp
We have 42 athletes (FIS, U16, and U14) and 6 coaches in Copper Mountain, Colorado from Nov 4-13. Athletes will be free skiing, doing drills, and skiing GS and SL courses at Loveland and Copper. This is a very important camp for working on fundamentals and getting yourself on the right track before the season begins!

Race Day Volunteers
As many of you know, depending on what program your athlete is in, families have a certain amount of work deposit hours to complete. Working as a volunteer at the races we host at our home mountains is an excellent way to do that! There are a variety of volunteer positions we need filled to run a race efficiently. Honestly, without you amazing volunteers, we would not be able to host successful events!
Below I have listed all the races we will be hosting at Snow King and Jackson Hole Mountain Resort that we will need volunteers for this season! I will send out a way to sign up for these volunteer positions shortly but wanted to put these on everyone's radar!
