Coaches’ Corner

Hello Ski Racing Fans,

We have now enjoyed a few weeks of fantastic skiing and training at Alpine and most of our teams have started into their completion phase of the season.

Please check our hillspace linked above to see where your team is training or racing this coming weekend. Please also review the Results section at the bottom of the page for all the latest achievements.

Now that we are into the competition phase of the season here are some notes that might help our young racers:

  • Always use positive self-talk in the start gate.
  • Use a positive motivating phrase in your head while performing. E.g. Outside ski, or “you can do it”, etc.
  • Ask your coach for support on race day. There are no bad questions. Your coaches are there to help you and they understand your anxiety.
  • Try to thank the host club’s race crew. They are volunteers and without them there would be no races.
  • Don’t forget to thank your parents for supporting you in your ski racing journey!

Thank you, athletes, parents and coaches, and best of luck at all your races this weekend!


Friday Training

Be sure to look at the hillspace linked at the top of the page for your age group’s Friday Training discipline.

Friday trainings are optional. We ask that you please use the sign up form below to let us know if your racer will attend a Friday Training by no later than the Wednesday prior each week. Even if you purchased a package of trainings we still ask that you sign up each week so we can account for attendance.

Friday training runs from 9:15-3:15 with lunch from 11:30-12:30. Lunch is subject to change due to conditions and hillspace.
