Norwegian national development team coach Morten Aa Djupvik “put the breaks†on his skiers during their first high altitude camp with the elite team.
 as Stelvio. At other places like Val Senales you can live at 2000 meter and in Ramsau at about 1200 meters.</p>
<p>– It’s extreme, it was hard to walk up the stairs says Djupvik</p>
<p>He was for that reason concerned that the skiers would be sucked into the pace of the experienced older national team skiers.</p>
<p>– We followed the same basic plan, but held back. We also trained shorter workouts than the elite team.</p>
<p>Djupvik believes that taking it easy is an absolute must.</p>
<p>– Many on the elite team have 10-years experience with high altitude training and they adjust faster. We have to start somewhere as well, but we realize that training only a little bit too fast can ruin the first part of the season. I believe that we avoided that trap.</p>
