About
(Formerly Devo)
Athletes participate in activities that lead to successful skiing and racing as the winter approaches. We will hike to the summits of mountains, roller ski, mountain bike, and Nordic bound to build ski-specific strength. Once the snow falls, training sessions switch to on-snow workouts designed to maximize each athlete’s potential. Coaches provide race day waxing and pre-race advice to the athlete to help them to perform at the highest level. We’ll have the opportunity to train with other regional ski clubs and build friendships and good-natured rivalries with fellow skiers. Experienced coaches educate the athletes in physiology relevant to skiing, give technique instruction for efficient movement on snow, and help athletes achieve their personal skiing goals.
ALPINE PROGRAM ATHLETES WELCOME! Come get some dryland training in a fun and challenging atmosphere. We have summer-only options to keep you fit and ready for ski season! The training program will skew toward Nordic skills, but the skills and fitness will transfer over nicely to downhill skills too.
We even have a skimeister add-on option in the winter for kids to do both alpine and Nordic. Sign up for the appropriate NORDIC age group (1 day/week option) and choose “Skimeister add-on” for two alpine and two Nordic sessions per week.
ALL WINTER PROGRAM REGISTRATIONS open August.

Our athletes rise to the top of the Far West Division and do extremely well regionally and nationally at the highest competition levels. We consistently qualify more athletes for the Far West Junior National team than any other regional program.
Our mission as a non-profit training facility is to keep costs affordable for our athletes. In 2018, we celebrated our 90th year of winter sports excellence. We’ve been raising champions at Auburn Ski Club since 1928!
ASC Training Center hosts four of the major Far West Nordic qualifying races each season on the Comp/Devo Team’s home trails: Tahoe Mtn. Sports Holiday Sprints, Paco’s Fun Freestyle, Snowshoe Thompson Classic, and the President’s Cup Freestyle, as well as several major Biathlon competitions. Our 25+ km trail system features FIS-homologated 5km, 2.5km, and 1.2km courses.
As the top training and racing venue in the western U.S., we have hosted the XC Junior Nationals four times, the USSA Supertour twice, the NCAA Nationals, and the US Biathlon Nationals. Our location on Donner Summit also means our teams are the first ones on the snow at the beginning of the season and the last ones off in the Spring!
