A snapshot of Ted Ligety’s workout in the off-season.  This is when preparation is most important.  WC athletes do not have as much time during the season to continue working out due to travel and race schedules.  Their gym time during the season is focused on soft tissue recovery and flushing the legs out on the bike.  All the work to build up strength, power, stability and mobility must be done in the off-season.  You don’t have to be a…

Some places just have all the luck!  Check out the snow report for the past few days from Grand Targhee.  Good thing NASTC is not tied to any single one resort and can go where the skiing is good.  Our Grand Targhee ski training camp includes 2 days of cat-skiing, and will be happening January 12-16.  There is still room to jump on board and shred some untracked powder. http://unofficialnetworks.com/grand-targhee-112016/

http://www.teamusa.org/News/2012/November/07/A-Cool-School.aspx  Like many young elite-level skiers and snowboarders, Jess Breda has been doing a balancing act all through high school. The rising freeskiing star from Massachusetts had been trying to keep up with her studies while homeschooling and, at the same time, trying to train, travel and maintain a competition schedule across the United States. Sometimes the juggling act seemed impossible. “It was just really hard to balance it all on your own,” she said. This year, however, Breda, a…

Both Julia Mancuso and Lindsey Vonn are choosing to opt out of the Levi Slalom.  Their reasoning is that it is just too far to go for one race.  After the less than optimal performance in Soelden, they think the smarter decision is to remain in the U.S and continue training at Copper and Vail which have been said to have the best training conditions in the world at this time.  Conditions on the glaciers in Europe are not as…

With this storm system, ski season may be at our front door rather than just around the corner!  Even though this has been one of the most beautiful autumn season in the Sierras.  We’re pumped as this will make conditions just right for our Early Season Jumpstart ski improvement camp.  Many years we’ve ran this camp with the barest minimum of snow, but it doesn’t look like it this year.  At least we’re hoping after seeing this forecast.http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Truckee&state=CA&site=STO&lat=39.3079&lon=-120.316
