Ascent Ski Racing prepares athletes by introducing the technical and tactical fundamentals of alpine ski racing. Ascent training includes directed free skiing and skills acquisition through drills, both in and out of gates. This program follows developmentally appropriate training based on US Ski guidelines and methodology, and prepares racers for the Pinnacle Alpine Racing teams. No prior race experience is needed.
