Thanksgiving on snow camp

The Maine Team Camp skiers kicked off their first on snow ski camp at Big Rock ski area on Thanksgiving weekend. They arrived to the on snow camp to refresh their classic and skate technique. They skied around a 1 K loop while working on ski technique and specific strength with the Junior Team and Post Graduate Biathletes. The Maine team campers welcomed the video analysis in each discipline before the season started.
Sugarloaf October 1-2, 2011
This past weekend Maine Team Camp athletes from around the state of Maine joined the junior team and post-graduates from Maine Winter Sports Center for a weekend camp at Sugarloaf. This training camp consisted of a Canadian strength test, two running tests, a skate technique session, and concluded with a ski walk through the rain and fog to the top of Sugarloaf.
Ft. Kent, July 6-10, 2011
The Maine Team camp skiers were eager to start dry land training at the 10th Mountain this past week. Skiers at this camp refreshed their skating technique, tested their uphill running abilities, and completed general and ski specific strength workouts. Athletes worked with Maine Winter sports coaches, college coaches, and high school coaches at this camp. Skiers also attended daily classroom sessions. Classroom sessions focused goal setting, training principles and guidelines, and racing experiences and opportunities from the Maine Winter Sports Olympic development athletes. They also were able to receive valuable advice and training philosophy from guest speaker and former US Olympic coach Richard Taylor.
