Program adaptation to suit athlete needs
If possible and desired, groups of athletes can be split in order to provide coaching focussed on one discipline. For example, one group focuses on Giant Slalom training, and another group focuses on moguls training. Also, groups can be split by skill level to create better homogeneity within the group, and consequently an improved learning environment. Please remember, there must be a sufficient number of athletes to do so, and will be discussed on the first day of the camp.
