Doug Lewis SPEED CAMPS:

There will be 2, two-day Speed Camps featuring Olympic Downhiller Doug Lewis to be held on the same hill as the DH Race.

                        Feb 5-6                        Super-G Focus

                        Feb 7-8                        Downhill Focus

            These Speed Camps, lead by Olympian Doug Lewis, are for Ski Racers (15+), Masters and/or Juniors, who are looking to improve their speed technique & tactics. These Super-G and Downhill speed camps will focus both on quality and quantity. The coaches will teach a speed progression that will help both the rookie Speedster as well as the seasoned Vet lower their times in both SG and DH. The schedule will also provide ample time “on-course” for those just wanting run after run.

 

COACHING:            1984 & 1988 Olympic Downhiller Doug Lewis headlines this Speed Camp that will also feature Doug Tucker, a very experienced Master’s coach and racer. There will be three additional coaches so that the racer/coach ratio remains 8:1. Camp is limited to 40 racers.

 

TRAINING:  Training will be held on the Legends Cup Downhill/SG course at Lincoln Peak and will take place on Upper Snowball and Springfling with safe, but challenging terrain. Training days will start with a tech talk followed by a free-skiing session and warm-up. Then the racers will practice inspection skills with their coaches. Section runs and full length training runs will make up the majority of the day. Each day will include at least one video analysis session. The tentative camp schedule is below.

 

COST:            $150.00*          2-Day Speed Camp (Feb 5-6 or 7-8)

                        $275.00*          4-Day Speed Camp (Feb 5-8)

                       * Lift Ticket add-on is $35.00/day                                                                

                      **for those who participate in two days of speed training, the cost of the DH race drops to $50.00
