Core Program – 2025/26 Season

Our Core Program is the premier choice for new and experienced athletes committed to excelling in alpine ski racing. Designed for those seeking a high-performance training environment, the program includes a minimum of two sessions per week, optional third-day and 1:1 training, and opportunities to compete in races throughout the season.

Sundays (9:00 AM – 2:30 PM)

Each Sunday alternates between gate training at Calabogie Peaks and technical development sessions at a variety of ski areas across the National Capital and Outaouais regions. These rotating destinations provide athletes with diverse terrain challenges, helping to build adaptable, technically strong skiers.

Gate days focus on race tactics, rhythm, and execution, while technical days emphasize all-mountain skills—carved turns, terrain adaptability, and movement efficiency. Each session includes a 45–60 minute lunch break and individual rest periods as needed.

Wednesday Nights (5:00 PM – 9:00 PM)

Held weekly at Mount Pakenham, Wednesday evenings are dedicated to Slalom gate training. Sessions feature a structured gate environment with full gates, stubbies, and brushes, supported by video analysis to refine technique, timing, and line. A 30-minute break is included, along with flexibility for individual needs.

Friday Nights (Optional Frequent Add-On, 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM)

Fridays at Mont Cascades offer a valuable third day of training. These sessions alternate weekly between gate training and technical free-skiing, aligned with the weekend schedule to ensure a complete skill development cycle. A 30-minute break is provided, with additional flexibility built in.

Tuesdays & Thursdays (Optional 1:1 Training by Request)

Athletes looking for individualized support can book private 1:1 training sessions on Tuesdays or Thursdays. These customized sessions allow for focused work on specific technical skills, race strategy, mental prep, or other athlete-driven goals.

Why Choose the Core Program?

With its combination of structured gate training, technical versatility, and flexible options like Friday sessions and 1:1 coaching, the Core Program offers a comprehensive pathway for athletes looking to elevate their race performance. Whether you're aiming to build confidence or climb the podium, this program is built for you.

Train Smart. Train Hard. Train Together. Be the Exception.

Age Requirements: Athletes must be 6 years old by December 31st, 2025 and cannot exceed 12 years old by December 31st, 2025. If you are under 6 but feel this program would be a good fit, we are always happy to consider young, ambitious skiers. We may ask for a video of them skiing as a prerequisite.

Three-Part Session: Each evening is divided into three focused training blocks:

• 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm: Training in brushies and stubbies set by our coaches, helping athletes get a feel for racing and understanding the dynamics of gate skiing. Towards the end of the season, they may have the chance to ski in mini gates.

• 8:00 pm to 9:00 pm: The evening concludes with further ski development, focusing on skills that need improvement based on the previous gate training session, ensuring well-rounded and proficient skiers.
