2025 Okemo Mountain school alpine on-snow mini camps!
Okemo Mountain School is hosting On-Snow Mini Camps again this Fall at Big Snow American Dream in New Jersey for alpine ski racing athletes, U10- U21. Athletes from any ski racing program are welcome!
These three fundamental focused camps are offered with the intent to get early season miles on snow concentrating on drill progressions and skill development. Training will be conducted on open trails with no gates. Athletes have the potential to get 9 sessions of on-snow time at a minimal cost and time commitment. Each Mini Camp consists of three, 2-hour sessions. Athletes can choose to attend one (or more!) of the full mini camps or drop in for single sessions. Video will be taken during each session. At the end of each session video review and chalk talk will take place in the lobby discussing the fundamentals of fast skiing and skill competencies, and how they relate to our work on-snow. Video will be posted online for parents and athletes to review later as well.
