Mt Hood Summer Camps
Late June and early July JHSC Alpine program organized two camps at Mt Hood in Oregon. We had total of 22 JHSC athletes joining us and we also had 3 girls from Far West division with us. First group (U10-U14) spend 5 days on snow (we had to cancel one day due to wind), second group (U16 and FIS) spend 6 days on snow. On snow we mostly worked on fundamentals off and on course, we did mountain biking, played soccer, Ping Pong and had a lots of fun.

On skis we spend hours and hours focusing on proper athletic stance (ankle and knee flexion, hips up and forward, wide stance, etc), use of all four edges, being on down hill ski, quiet upper body, pole plant, etc. We did drills while free skiing, with stubbies and brushes and in gates.
