ALPINE RACING
HART provides the framework across all domains: conditioning, off-season ski training, in-season ski training, equipment preparation, physical and mental education, and race season athlete management for our athletes to achieve their goals. In recognition of multiple individual entry points into our system, we match the workload and content of athletes programs to their gender, age, and athletic milestones athletes hit along the way.
Our approach is progressive, leans toward heavy volume of on-snow ski training to habituate technical and tactical skill building, values athleticism as the most significant form of conditioning and places accountability for behavior and effort on the athlete.
Conditioning is geared toward developing athleticism, emphasizes proper movement patterns, and respects biological age. Year-round on-snow training emphasizes high volume and quality skill building in concert with appropriate race season management. Physical education programming teaches students basic physiology, nutrition, and mental
training skills.
Most importantly, we strive to foster a lifelong passion for skiing and active lifestyles.
