Scottish Ski Club Race Training
Summer Camp
Introduction
It’s back to Tignes for Summer training! Tignes is a great venue with good training pistes and fitness training facilities. Last Summer we had a great camp so the plan is the same for this year (if you weren’t there you may have seen the movie shown at the prize-giving of some of the plastic races). Like last year there will be a two or three week option.
Ski Program
Glacier training in the Summer is the perfect time to work on your core technique. Snowsport GB has identified core technique as a weakness in British skiers so this is your chance to get back to basics, and become a better skier. Those on the three week option will have the opportunity to ski some steeper terrain as we move higher up the glacier in week three.
Fitness Program
Kirsty Gardner will be coming out again as fitness coach and houseparent. Kirsty is a sports scientist and will be running a very professional dry land program every day after skiing.
Other Activities
We will also try and squeeze in a bit of fun along with the hard work - last year we went tree top adventuring, mountain biking, hiking and water jumping….
Coaches
The core coaches will be Tom Hutchison (SSC) and Ronnie Naismith (ASC). Plus a few more of the usual suspects depending on final numbers.
Transport and Accommodation
We will fly to Geneva and transfer to Tignes. We will likely stay in the UCPA again which has great facilities and is walking distance from the lifts. Kirsty Gardner will be the houseparent.
Ages
The camp is open to those in SSC, ASC, GDN or CSC in the Children’s age group (those born 1991-1994). If you are in the juniors age group, the Scottish Juniors will be running their Summer camp alongside us like last year – contact Rosie Macfee at info@scottishjuniors.co.uk
