The 1-Day Nordic Team is an entry-level program designed to get kids interested in cross-country skiing, all while immersed in a fun and enjoyable atmosphere. Our goal is to develop the proper technique at a young age, to have fun, and to learn a great winter sport. If interested, athletes will also have the option to attend local and regional races through Rocky Mountain Nordic during the season. This program is a great progression into the full weekend or academy team as an athlete’s skill and desire builds. For more information, email [email protected].

Nordic Fulltime Academy Athletes: This year-round program is dedicated to athletes ages U16 and up that want to develop their skiing to the highest caliber within a supportive and fun team environment. The team will train regularly from September- April. In the summer, athletes will have the opportunity to attend numerous on and off-snow camps, and have access to dryland training. Additionally, athletes will have access to full-time coaches, a comprehensive training plan with emphasis on sports physiology and proper training zones, nutrition advice, strength training, sports psychology, and technique work. This team will travel to most Rocky Mountain Nordic events and races throughout Colorado and Utah, as well as other regional and national races when possible.
