Participation upon selection by the TCRA Coaching staff

TCRA Lift Pass

TCRA Lift Pass provides lift access at Treble Cone and Snow Park. Each athlete must purchase a lift pass. The age of the athlete as of July 1, 2009 will determine which pass he/she falls under.

Training:

On-snow training will be held for a minimum of 20 Days at Treble Cone and neighboring Snow Park, with a minimum of 4 hours on snow each day. Dryland training, ski tuning, and video analysis with the TCRA coaches will be conducted at the Academy Lodge after on-snow training. During the camp each eligible athlete will have the chance to participate in four races at the K-Cup event at Mt. Hutt, which is a 4 race National Points event including Slalom, Giant Slalom, Super G, and Super Combined.

Program outline:

This camp was created to give our young athletes a chance to train alongside some older and more experienced Elite athletes and World Cup athletes from around the world. This camp will coincide with our FIS Elite Camp, giving the kids a chance to learn everything from on-hill techniques to ski-tuning tricks from their older peers. They will also have a chance to participate in 4 National Point events, giving them a taste of what it’s like to compete at a national level. Our professional coaching staff will be sure to get the athletes excited about their future in ski racing.

Because of the intensity of this program, we insist that all athletes are present during the entire duration of the camp. All athletes must arrive in Queenstown, New Zealand on the 10th of August. We will arrange pick-up at the airport as long as your athlete arrives on one of these days only. The departure date for all athletes will be the 31st of August, flying out of Queenstown. We will not be responsible for athletes who choose to extend their stay beyond this date. We will not be able to provide accommodation beyond this departure date.

Accommodation:

Athletes will be placed in one of two Academy Lodges, the Te Awa Lodge or the Lookout Lodge. TCRA will provide Half Board, which is breakfast and dinner. Athletes will be responsible for packing or purchasing their own lunch. Fresh and delicious dinners will be prepared by local chefs and served daily at the Lookout Lodge.

Transport:

TCRA Vans from the Lodge to the Training venue (TC and SnowPark) and back, and to all Academy activities. Pick up from and drop off to the Queenstown airport will be provided.

Uniform:

Upon arrival each athlete will receive a TCRA-branded uniform package that he or she will be able to keep when the camp is over.

Lift Passes:

A TCRA Lift Pass will enable athletes to access Treble Cone and Snowpark.

Recreational Activities:

On days off, the athletes will have the opportunity to join in on recreational activities; however the costs of Recreational Activities are not included in the cost of the camp.
