Training camps
Training camps on bigger hills.
Hyland is close to home, with quick laps and high volume. Camps take racers where the terrain is longer, steeper and more varied, for full days of skiing, video, tuning and team building.
Why we offer camps
Why racers go to camp.
Hyland is the right place to work on and solidify fundamentals. Its terrain is limited in length, pitch and variety, and that is where camps come in.
- Terrain Hyland can't offer. Racers who want to compete at the Rocky/Central level need longer courses and harder hills.
- Full days on snow. More hours of skiing, plus video sessions, ski tuning and team building.
- Focus. Training without the distractions of school and home.
Team travel camps are for U16 and older athletes, traveling without parents. On-snow-only camps are open to any age, with a parent along. Each camp is optional, registered separately, and budgeted to break even.
