Dear Whitefish Mountain Resort Race Team Families,
It’s hard to imagine that it’s been over a month since we enjoyed our last weekend of skiing at the Mountain. Hopefully everyone is now enjoying spring!
Thanks to all the Race Team athletes and families for a great season! Having just spent our second year out from under the Whitefish Mountain Resort “umbrella”, we are more than surviving – we are prospering!
The FVSEF Board of Directors is currently working on plans for the 2013-14 season including program descriptions, schedules and prices. These will all be finalized around mid-June after the Northern Division race schedule has been announced.
Also, we are pleased to announce that we have been working on some exciting new projects that we will be ready to present in June as well.
We would like to invite everyone to an informational meeting at the Saddle Club on Friday, June 21st at 6:00 PM. Following the meeting we will be having a social gathering, outdoor games and a Bar-B-Q/potluck dinner. (The Saddle Club is the log building on Wisconsin Avenue adjacent to Alpine Market and the Stumptown Ice Den. Potluck details will be coming out in the next few weeks.)
*** IMPORTANT NEWS *** Prior to the June meeting we will be kicking off the new “Full Year Conditioning Program”, an optional dryland conditioning program for U14 and older athletes. Please see the enclosed program description for details.
Thanks again and we look forward to seeing you on June 21.

Full Year Conditioning Program -NEW!
Full Year Conditioning Program (Available U14 and older) – The Full Year Conditioning Program is a physical and mental training program for those maturing athletes preparing to ski race at the highest level they can achieve. This program is designed specifically for alpine ski racers.
• The first goal of the program is to improve strength, power, balance, agility and flexibility necessary to both raise the level of performance and help to avoid injuries.
• The second goal of the program is to learn to set goals and take the responsibility to meet and exceed those goals.
The program starts on June 1 and lasts through the last race in April. The program begins with baseline physical testing and personal goal establishment. Each athlete will be handed a very specific daily training schedule and training log to complete on their own through the summer months. The program is more aerobic base and strength at the beginning and anaerobic, speed and power as we get closer to the season. Weight training is a high priority in this program. Periodic consultation, as needed based on progress and experience, with coaching staff will be part of the program. At the end of summer, physical testing will be performed to track progress.
Fall will consist of rigorous, organized dryland training team sessions specific to the upcoming ski season. Physical Testing will occur again in late fall to track progress. During the competition season, athletes will have workouts to maintain the conditioning level achieved. Throughout the year the program is self-driven with guidance and consultation on training goals, technique and progress. The program is designed to supplement and work alongside the athlete’s seasonal sport schedule and not require excessive travel. The program is designed to allow the athlete time to choose when he/she wants to work out and when to do other things but ultimately be responsible for their own personal progress.
The cost of the program is $250 and includes the handbook, testing sessions (3), consultations and scheduled dryland sessions (+/-12). It does not include fitness center costs or physical trainers which may be necessary to achieve the goals established.
Please note that our traditional dryland program in October and November will still exist for younger athletes and those not ready for this level of commitment.
