Why you should attend? Who is this camp for?

Over the years, we’ve been running dry-land training camps to help skimo athletes – from beginners to elite – to improve their endurance and share our knowledge of this beautiful sport.
Based on feedback and our own experience, we as skimo athletes have plenty of opportunities to develop our engines but are heavily lacking in opportunities to improve our technical and downhill skills, especially before January as many locations struggle for good snow coverage until about then.
Here’s why our ski camp will be a great season opener for you:

  • Group training camp atmosphere
  • Focus on downhill skiing (skimo race gear and regular touring gear)
  • Skimo specific skills development (skinning technique, transitions, kick-turns, sprint technique, and more)
  • Video technique analysis
  • Whistler Blackcomb is part of the EPIC Pass System (Vail Resorts) so there is no added cost for EPIC Pass holders
  • Perfect timing to prepare for US and Canadian World Championships Team Trials
  • Free copy of our Skimo Manual book and a training plan of your choice
  • Presentation with focus on skimo specific topics and training
  • Lots of fun skiing with like minded people!

If you are interested in more details and to reserve your spot, please fill out the form on the left. We will  be in touch shortly.

What others are saying about our projects:

Rob Krar – Endurance athlete and 2014 Western States 100 Champion:
“…The Manual for Ski Mountaineering Racing was my most valuable resource when I dove head first into training and racing over the winter of 13/14. I’ve been fortunate to represent Canada at the World Championships in 2017 and… I can’t recommend this manual enough to those who are just beginning to dip their toes into this incredible sport, or those looking to improve upon their foundation. Big thanks to Stano and Eric for helping me chase my dreams on the mountain!”
Cam Smith – US National Skimo Team member
“Thank you for putting all of you effort into this! The skimo team at Western State Colorado University recently purchased a copy of the manual. We’re very impressed…”
Michael Hagen – US distributor for Hagan Skis:
“I am very happy to have sponsored your Manual for Ski Mountaineering Racing!…It is excellent. I am very impressed by the thoroughness of the contents and the professionalism of the design and layout….Highly recommended!”
