Snowmellow Race Clinics

Swain is pleased to re-introduce the new Snowmellow race clinics for the 2024-25 season.

The purpose of all single and two-days camps is to focus on skiing. This is not exclusively about racing, although 2nd year U14s and U16s will discuss race tactics (night before a race, day of race, pre-race routines, visualization, post race processing). The goals of every camp is to improve our skiing at speed, and this will happen with off hill training and on hill training. After all, who doesn’t like to go fast? Every age group will be pushed to their limits in an environment that celebrates the learning process.

  • 1:3 Coach to athlete goal discussion
