This past June, thirteen dedicated U14 and U16 athletes from the Cypress Ski Club took part in an elite training experience in the heart of the French Alps at Les 2 Alpes. Although the trip was fully booked, we wanted to share a look behind the scenes to inspire future participation and highlight the club’s commitment to high-performance alpine racing.
For two weeks, athletes followed a rigorous training schedule at one of Europe’s premier summer ski destinations. Les 2 Alpes delivered world-class glacier skiing, a new high-speed gondola, and reliable conditions ideal for both technical free skiing and gate training.
The daily program showed the discipline and passion of high-level alpine racers. Athletes were up early and on snow from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., then moved into afternoon recovery, dryland workouts, ski tuning, and video review sessions. They stayed at the Chamois Lodge, conveniently located within a short walk of the lifts.
During downtime the athletes enjoyed mini putt, roller coaster, tubing and hicking. Vola also gave a private lesson on how to sharpen skis.
Given the Chamois loge is also where professional ski racers stay to train, CSC athletes had first hand glimpses into their world. Some of them even came to speak about their experiences, answer questions, show the group their equipment and talk about the logistics of it all. Very inspiring! The experience offered more than skill development. It built independence, teamwork, and a broader global outlook.
This summer initiative reflects Cypress Ski Club’s growing presence on the international stage and our commitment to providing exceptional opportunities for young athletes.
