Local Community
The local community is the backbone of our program. By running ski
clinics and hiking groups, working on the local trail systems, and
training with young skiers on a regular basis, we’d like to inspire as
much community interaction as possible. Every one of our athletes
understands that they would not be where they are today without positive
role models who promoted a healthy lifestyle and they too hope to be
role models, inspiring the athletes of tomorrow. Thus, we integrate as
much of our training as possible with the local youth groups and
additionally, we are active in the general community with a message that
promotes fitness and exercise.
Our efforts include:
-Hosting and running
free clinics for local and regional skiers of all ages
-YMCA camp in
New York City to introduce local youth to the sport of Nordic skiing and
encourage healthy and active lifestyles
-Clearing and
building new mountain bike trails in Dorset, VT
-Clearing and
excavating trails for hiking and skiing in Stratton, VT
-Weekly training
with the Stratton Mountain School junior skiers, Bill Koch League youth skiers,
and other athletes in the area
-Volunteering
with the Fast and Female events, which empower young women to stick with sports
and go after their athletic dreams
