GMVS is once again offering it’s two popular summer ski camps and opening group training throughout the summer. Based in Waitsfield, Vermont, the camps kick off the summer training season for GMVS athletes, which meet for 3 day “mini-camps” every other week through the summer. These unique camps focus on quality training practices, adventuring in our amazing Green Mountain backyard and eating healthy and local food.

There are two camp sessions. The first is appropriate for strong J3s through J2 skiers. The second is a high level training camp for strong J2 through OJ. Both sessions conclude with an App Gap Challenge that draws top level skiers. The official App Gap Challenge, with current record holders (David Sinclair and Heidi Halvorsen) is held on July 3 – this is an open event with prize money for breaking records (details forthcoming).
Kick off your summer with a super fun camp devoted to learning about dry land ski training and having fun adventures in the Green Mountains. If you like tasty local food, cool swimming holes after workouts, and want to improve your understanding of Summer Ski Training — come to Waitsfield and see what it’s all about.
