Interested in adding one day of Skimo to another winter program or only have time for one day/week? Join the Skimo team on Mondays throughout the winter to learn Skimo fundamentals, develop fitness, or prepare for the Ski Ascent Series. Senior Team Skimo introduces athletes to the fundamentals of ski mountaineering, racing, and training, and is geared both toward athletes interested in pursuing this challenging sport and those looking to develop their overall fitness throughout the winter season. For more information, check out the Senior Team Skimo program description HERE (link).
On-Snow Training: November 30 – April 1
Monday, 4-6 p.m. at Howelsen Hill
Skill Requirement
Downhill ski experience, a base level of fitness, and a desire for physical and mental challenges. Uphill (backcountry or resort skinning) ski experience would be very beneficial.
Equipment
Lightweight AT ski gear: boots, skis, bindings, skins, etc. (typical heavy backcountry gear will not allow you to get the benefits of this program – We will be sourcing product deals and discounts with vendors to help with this). Athletes will also need a pack, helmet, beacon, shovel, probe, and proper apparel. (Think more cross country skiing than alpine for apparel.) A heart rate monitor would also be a beneficial piece of equipment. Gear discounts are available on certain brands until Thursday, November 2!
