Comp Nordic

About

The ASC Training Center Competition Ski Team is a part of Far West Nordic’s racing division and is open to athletes ages 14 to 19 who are interested in high-level cross-country skiing. This program is designed to turn proficient skiers into competitive racers. Our many focuses include fitness and training, technique development, and participation in local, regional, and national level racing. (We have lots of fun as well!) We aim to prepare athletes for competition at the Junior National level and foster a lifelong interest in the sport. We believe that training is fundamental to success in winter racing, and tailor our programs to help athletes reach their goals. 

Activities include skate and classic skiing, running, ski imitation, classic and skate roller skiing, and strength. Training will be balanced between intervals, distance, speed, technique, and strength.

See Nordic Training Camps page for info about domestic and international trips. 

ALL WINTER PROGRAM REGISTRATIONS open in August.
