Transportation
Midweek transportation will be determined prior to the start of the winter. The MWV Ski Team works in conjunction with Fryeburg Academy to provide transportation for our skiers.
Winter Schedule
Weekend training and race schedules go out to club members on Wednesday or Thursday each week. Due to changing conditions, several adjustments to the schedule may take place so it is important to frequently monitor all team communication.
Coaches will occasionally utilize two mountains in the same day for free skiing or training. This happens infrequently, but our coaches push for the highest quality sessions possible, and this may warrant a dynamic weekend schedule from time to time.
All weekend program skiers’ respective home schools that recognize New Hampshire’s vacation week as February break will work in with the full-time program during their vacation. We typically schedule an additional training block on top of the afternoon training schedule for these skiers.
Most weekend training days will run from 9 a.m–3 p.m. Sometimes an early morning session will be scheduled, which will begin by 7:30 a.m. Early morning days usually conclude around 1:30 p.m.
Ages: U16, U18, U21
Serving the majority of our Mount Washington Valley Ski Team athletes, our weekend program offers an all-encompassing approach for committed skiers looking to compete at the state or regional level. In addition to the weekend programming, MWVST weekend skiers take advantage of the two school breaks each season (the holiday break in December, and the week-long break in February).
The MWV Ski Team offers high-quality coaching and training opportunities to our weekend program athletes. We provide productive slope selection and difficulty when available, along with challenging course sets to prepare our athletes to compete at their best. Our coaching staff recognizes the special advantages we have here in Mount Washington Valley. We are able to pool the mountains’ resources, and leverage the best free skiing and training possible each weekend.
Weekend program skiers compete in USSS races as U16 athletes, including all of the Tecnica Cup qualification events for regional championship series. U18/21 athletes continue to race USSS competitions in-state and decide whether they would like to pursue the regional FIS circuit. Our coaching staff provides each weekend program athlete with a recommended race schedule. Every schedule is tailored toward goal achievement for that given season.
Weekend program skiers are always free to add midweek training whenever they wish. We are able to accommodate most additional training requests as long as they work within our midweek schedule.
