DEVO TRAINING SEASON

Training for the race season actually begins in the fall with dryland conditioning two evenings per week to physically strengthen the skiers for the upcoming on-snow training. Once there is sufficient snow, dryland training ends and on-snow training begins at Snowbasin Ski Resort to develop racing techniques which will allow for competition in USSA (United States Ski and Snowboard Association) sanctioned events against racers from various ski resorts.

On-snow training begins with one or two days during the Christmas holidays and after January 1st, every Saturday. The racers participate in three or four Youth Ski League (YSL) races, which are also held on Saturdays. The Championship Race, open to all Developmental Team members, is a two-day event in late March.
