Mt Bachelor/Bend, Oregon
Designed For Master Skiers & Racers (but juniors welcome with chaperone)

The Oregon Spring Camp offers citizen skiers a very unique chance to take part in a world-class ski education experience in the late spring. Mt Bachelor typically holds sufficient snow on the Nordic Center trails to allow grooming into June. Our camp dates are set up to take advantage of the most reliable window concurrent with U.S. and Canadian National Ski Team camps. So you’ll literally be able to tell your friends you are out ski training in the spring with Olympians & World Cup stars!

Firm “Session A” dates of Weds, May 23 to Sun, May 27, 2012. Taking names for a “Session B” from June 15-17, 2012 (send interest asap): Morning on-snow, groomed ski sessions, optional afternoon dryland clinics, training plan/video review, optional world-class physiology lab testing … and much more! 2012 Camp Info & Registration.

Tahoe City Summer Junior Nordic Training

The team will train 3 times a week, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays mornings from June 19th til August 25th. Please note – a minimum of 15 sign ups by May 15th is required for this training group to happen – so sign up now & tell your friends! (full refunds will be issued if the program doesn’t run – or you can choose to join the Truckee based program.)

Truckee based Summer Training
Devo Team: A fun approach to ski training. Workouts combine fun activities in the outdoors with ski specific training
and technique improvement. Sessions include hiking, running, strength, rollerskiing and other fun
activities in the outdoors. The Devo program is well known for its focus on fitness, fun, technique, and
team adventures. The team trains Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday mornings

Comp Team: A serious approach to ski training. Expectation is that members of the Competition Team have their sights set on placing well at Junior Olympics, not just qualifying for the Far West Junior National Team. Workouts can be long and hard – building up through the summer to 3hrs+ runs (such as Sugar Bowl to Squaw) and roller-ski workouts (such as Cisco Grove to Donner Summit). The team trains Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday mornings
