Dryland Training
Dryland training will begin on Tuesday September 5th from 5pm until 6:30 pm. Dryland will continue every Tuesday thereafter until October 17th and will be held at Antzak Park in Cottonwood Heights. Dryland allows our athletes to build the strength, cardio endurance, and balance that are crucial to ski racing. Athletes of all ages may participate in dryland training, and activities will be modified for each athlete depending on their age and level of experience. Examples of dryland activities include (but are not limited to): dynamic warm-ups, core strengthening, bodyweight exercises, agility work, competition simulation, and group games like soccer or ultimate frisbee.
On-Snow Training
Training will begin Saturday December 2, 2023 at Brighton Resort. Saturday training sessions begin at 9:00 sharp. We meet at the Ski Patrol a-frame (directly across from the Alpine Rose Lodge) ready to ski at 8:40 am. Athletes are responsible for bringing their own bag lunch to each training session. Evening training sessions (at Brighton Resort and Utah Olympic Park) will start the first week in January, conditions permitting.

Final Training Days, Ski School Races, Family Ski Day
All athletes’ final training days will be the session prior to their final race. Families will receive updates from their athlete’s coach/es as these dates approach.
BST will host Ski School Races for the Brighton Ski School (Little Rippers) in February and March. This is a super fun event and one of the ways we introduce young skiers to alpine racing (and, by extension, invite them to join our team)! These races need lots of hands to set up, run, and take down - so keep an eye out for volunteer signups.
The BST Family Ski Day and Barbeque takes place at Brighton in late March (date TBA). All athletes, family members, and friends are welcome! We will set up a dual panel slalom course (two courses side-by-side) and tailgate on the hill. Fun (and ski-safe) costumes are always highly encouraged!
