Alpine Ski Club works closely with Alpine Canada Alpin and shares the goal of ensuring that any child entering the alpine ski racing system is provided every opportunity to experience the necessary building blocks in order to reach the desired highest levels of the sport. Alpine Canada has produced a document entitled Alpine Integration Model or AIM. As AIM is a well- known term in the ski racing community, the Long-Term Skier Development (LTSD) guide for Alpine Ski racing will be addressed as AIM2WIN. Although the primary objective of AIM2WIN is to produce greater numbers of ski racers capable of achieving at the highest level, it also provides a platform for clubs and coaches to encourage and support participants at every level to fulfill their potential and maintain a lifelong involvement in the sport of alpine skiing.

The focus of Alpine’s Racing program is on skill development and technical excellence. Racing requires a commitment from each athlete to work hard and attend races. Training Groups/Teams will be selected based on age, skiing skills, and Coaches’ discretion. Please note that because there are no formal time trials, participation in holiday camps are included for team placement and covered in the program price. • Early registration assures a quality program so please register by the associated date. • Downhill, GS and slalom suits are not permitted in U8 and U10 races.

REGISTRATION POLICY Enrolment is guaranteed when registrations are received by the Club prior to the regular deadline date. After the deadline, registrations will be placed on a waiting list and processed subject to program availability. All Division 2/SOD Cup Series season registrations are processed on a first-come-first-served basis.

U14

U14 is for athletes aged 12 and 13 (as of December 31). The U14 program promotes development of the fundamental skills of ski racing both in a team environment and in an Individual series. Alpine Canada and the Canadian Ski Coaches’ Federation feel it is imperative for U14 athletes to continue to learn and develop fundamental skills so technical emphasis will focus primarily on giant slalom and slalom radius with good movement. Exploration and exposure to speed and ski cross elements are included. All U14 athletes, especially those wishing to compete at the Division 1 level, are invited to attend the Copper Mountain fall camp. This resort is known for great early season conditions and caters to the needs of ski racers both on and off hill. Take this opportunity to train with Alpine’s elite athletes and other top athletes from the Escarpment!

DIVISION 1/ALL-INCLUSIVE/O-CUP PROGRAM There is a Division 1/O-Cup series through which athletes may qualify for O-Cup finals, formerly the provincials, CanAm, and Whistler Cup races. The O-Cup is a province-wide race series consisting of events specific to U14-U21 (& up) that align with the train-to-race ratio in the AIM2WIN and LTAD documents for each age group. These individual races are a great opportunity for the athletes to test their skills against the region’s top athletes, a good idea for those aspiring to race U16 Division 1. In an effort to provide the highest possible level of program for these athletes we are happy to have Yoshi Watanabe returning as the program’s head coach. The price includes all coaching, Sun Peaks camp, holiday training camp (Dec. 27 to Jan. 5, excluding Jan. 1), March Break camp and all Thursday/Friday training, but not AOA or race entry fees or travel costs after the Sun Peaks camp.

Junior Programs

U16

U16 is for athletes aged 14 and 15 (as of December 31). U16 athletes begin their high- performance training through the individual program, offered in two variations that continue to develop strong technical and racing skills, but that differ by commitment and competitive intensity: Division 2/weekend and Division 1 (high). Fall camps and season camps are a component of the U16 program.

The proven elements of every successful ski racer are effective coordination with their academic endeavors, time on snow, and physical and mental training. Collingwood has a high concentration of ski racers and the lowest number of ski days of any skiing centre in the world. Consequently, it becomes imperative to spend time away skiing in order to stay competitive with other provinces. Away training provides exposure to a variety of terrain and increases the number of days on snow. The mid-December camp is mandatory for the Division 1/all-inclusive program; otherwise camps are optional, however attending one of the camps offered in July/August and Copper Mountain in November is strongly recommended.

WEEKEND/DIVISION 2/SOD CUP PROGRAM 10 weeks The SOD Cup is the Southern Ontario Division race series formerly known as “Division 2.” As in past seasons it consists of 4-5 race starts (specific to U12-U21) that align with the needs for each age group. Racing will continue in much the same way as the experience in the U14 Program. Holiday training camp (Dec. 27-Jan 5, excluding Jan. 1) is included, where team selection will take place. Time on snow is always recommended and attending pre-season camps will help athletes prepare for the season. Sat. 9:00 AM-3:30 PM; Sun. 9:00 AM-3:00 PM • Lunch 11:00-noon

Price: $1,570.00; after Nov. 15: $1,884.00; after Dec. 15: $2,041.50 Please pay AOA fees online directly to AOA.

DIVISION 1/ALL-INCLUSIVE/O-CUP PROGRAM This program offers the individual athletes high-performance training with the goal of producing the most successful U16 athletes on and off the hill in Canada. Training at this level is a season commitment of a minimum of 3 days/week, extending to 4 for most second-year U16s. This program requires a commitment to not only race training on snow, but also to a dry-land program that will help ensure the fitness level and strength required to be successful. The athlete should commit to off-season dry-land training as well as both on- and off-snow training from November to the end of April. In an effort to provide the highest possible level of program for our U16 individual athletes we are happy to have Wayne Howard returning as the program’s head coach. We will continue to work with other clubs to provide the best possible training environments.

Fall fitness testing as outlined by AOA is mandatory.

The program includes:  Coaching  Fall dry-land training  Fitness testing, spring and fall  Sun Peaks (mid-December) camp

Junior Programs

 Holiday training  Friday training  March Break camp

NSA – NATIONAL FIS RACING & ACADEMIC PROGRAM

This program provided by the National Ski Academy in Collingwood is an all-inclusive package that includes camps, race fees, travel and accommodation, transportation, coaching, fitness, ski suit and private school education. At this commitment level the student athlete will receive up to 130 days on snow and up to 35 FIS race starts following the AIM guidelines defined by Alpine Canada (ACA).

The program begins August 15 when the student athlete travels to Switzerland for an 8-week Camp that includes approximately 35 training days on the glaciers in Saas Fee and Zermatt and a 4-day educational excursion in Europe (past trips have included Paris, Rome and Geneva). During the time in Switzerland, NSA teachers begin delivering the first semester curriculum and a heavy emphasis is placed on physical conditioning and injury prevention.

After returning from Europe and prior to the competitive season, athletes will continue their on- snow training in Quebec, Alberta and locally in Collingwood. With a heavy emphasis on academics during this period, most students will complete their first semester courses prior to Christmas. From January through March a typical weekday (when not travelling for a race series) involves a high intensity on-snow training session from 8:30-noon, lunch, afternoon classes, dry-land training, dinner and evening classes until 9:00 p.m. Many NSA student athletes choose to return to their home school for the second semester. In these cases, the NSA academic staff can liaise with the home school to deliver curriculum until the transition point at the end of the race season. Full-time boarding is available at additional cost. 31 The NSA is a not-for-profit ski academy and fully accredited private school located at 200 Oak Street in Collingwood. For more information please visit www.nsa.on.ca or call the NSA at 705- 444-1617.

Adult INTERCLUB RACING In an effort to support the changing demographics and to reinvigorate our Interclub Adult Racing team we will continue with the pay-as-you-play Interclub Adult Racing program. This format is intended to encourage Fun and Glory participants to join in when they can and have some fun on the Ridge. It’s a great way to meet fellow teammates and hang out with other Interclub adult racers.

The per-start price covers morning gate training at Alpine, two race-day runs (at different Clubs on the Ridge, including lift tickets), an après with Druxys sandwiches and beer/wine, hanging out with a great fun team, discounts on merchandise at local ski shops, and a rocking end-of- season party.

There are 4 regular season races and 1 finals race. The schedule is currently being determined but will typically start in mid-January and conclude at the end of February.

Adult Programs

There will be 7 Escarpment clubs participating and you will be racing against others in your age and gender category (similar to our Club Championships). Bib numbers are also based on age and gender (i.e., the older you are, the lower your start number). The winning team of the race is determined by adding up each racer's points based on how they finished in their category -- you get points for just completing the run.

The Interclub Adult Race program is a great and inexpensive way to get additional gate training and racing on the Ridge, as well as enjoying the camaraderie and experience of meeting like- minded colleagues from other clubs.

To participate, please sign up online through which we can track interest. Participants will be billed at the end of the season based on the number of starts.
