  • Alpine's 2021 Thanksgiving Camp

    The Stratton Mountain School Alpine Program is proud to offer a variety of ski racing camps around the world. At SMS ski racing camps, athletes can train on snow and improve their strength and conditioning. 

    Our Thanksgiving camp provides an excellent opportunity to establish an early foundation and get a head start on the competition for the upcoming season.  We have daily lane space for gate training, and we will be setting a variety of slalom and GS drill courses and progress to full training courses.  Technical free skiing and drills on the fundamentals round out the curriculum.  

    With a racer to coach ratio of no more than 7:1, the SMS Thanksgiving camp assures extensive individual attention, and the abundant snowmaking at Copper Mountain guarantees plenty of available terrain. Our on-hill training is supplemented by daily video analysis and tech talks by SMS coaches with guest appearances by US Team members who are training at Copper.
