What does a typical training day look like?
The focus is always on fun and progression; whether we are training gates, freeskiing or focused drill work.

What if my athlete wants to participate in race training but isn’t ready to compete yet?
The North Series Race Team is a competition-focused team.  Athletes are welcome on the North Series Team if they are ready for the higher level of training; even if not participating in all IMD races.  However, the Devo-Race Team may be a better fit if that is the case.
