Our coaches and staff have extensive experience across all continents and are the best to advise you on how to best achieve your goals, be it the Olympics or NCAA D1 College.
We have two teams to make sure we best respond to athlete's needs and our training venues rotates to maximize quality and improvements.
We are also at the forefront of research and innovation in Alpine skiing. Several of our coaches and staff are at the lead of the ESKI project a EU-funded project devoted to the empowerment of women coaches and racers.
In the summer and fall, we typically train on Alpine glaciers as well indoor domes in Northern Europe. During the winter, we train in Alta Badia, Cortina, Fassa, Aprica, Livigno, Dobbiaco, etc.
Training on snow alternates with dry training. We are small by choice to ensure high-quality as we believe in the power of individual attention. Admission is therefore competitive. Though skiing is an individual sport, our values are teamwork, camaraderie, and caring for teammates. There are a few scholarship available for deserving athletes.
Thanks to our experienced international and national coaches, and to our strong academic background, we are able to help FIS athletes achieve their goals, be it going to the Olympics or to a D1 College. We offer three different option: summer, fall and winter.
We often train alongside World Cup and Europe Cup racers. Among our coaches' alumni: 2023 World Junior Champ’s Silver medalist Vicky Bernardi, World Cup racer Matteo Canins and Hannes Zingerle, Europa Cup racers Manuel Ploner and Ilaria Ghisalberti and Olympic ski racers and World Champs Ricardo Brancal and Adrian Yung and many others
The Alps are the most competitive area globally for ski racing, so if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. Yet, prospective athletes need to be ready for the challenge. It is often tougher than one may initially expect. In the off season, we alternate intensive dry-training with skiing on glaciers and ski domes and cultural visit to enjoy the beauty of Italy.
