General informations
Training
Our main training venue is Pozza di Fassa which is a 5-minute drive from the athlete’s apartments. But in the past 2 years, we trained a lot on other slopes, as slope in Pozza di Fassa is getting busy for WC, EC athletes. Our other training slopes are: Buffaure - for SL, Passo San Pellegrino - for SG, Carezza - for GS&SL, Pampeago - for GS, SL&SG and Nova Ponente - for GS&SL, all within a 30-minute drive. It’s important to train on as many different training venues as possible to prevent stagnant skiing. The Dolomites offer a wide variety of free skiing and training venues. Having the ability to choose a venue based on the snow, slope, and how it’s going to affect our desired goals for the day is a luxury that most academies and teams do not have.
Racing
We race primarily in Italy, but also travel to nearby countries such as Austria, Germany, Slovenia and France.
Dryland
Coaches will organize daily workouts, recovery or games on ski camps. For the offseason, athletes will be given individualized conditioning programs designed by Alex Bunt. The past several years, Alex Bunt was Lindsey Vonn’s conditioning coach and currently works for Red bull North America. Additionally coaches can also help with dryland program based on their experiences and sending videos of certain exercises.
Beside dryland, we also advise regarding nutrition - a few basic things to stay enough hydrated and eat good during training and racing period.
Tuning
Coaches will tune athlete’s skis on a daily basis. Athletes are responsible for waxing and scraping. The tuning room is located in one of the athlete apartment buildings.
​
Any problems with equipment; skis & ski boots, there is 10min drive to a ski shop where they have professional tools to repair or set it - Bosin sport in Predazzo.
