Team Calendar:
Practice starts opening day (usually the 2nd weekend in December) through the 2nd weekend in March.
Check the LMRT Team Calendar but bring equipment for both GS and SL. (Registered members must be signed in to view the "TeamCalendar" section of the website.)
Practices will follow the calendar as much as possible.
Conditions and other factors may change however, and athletes are encouraged to bring both GS and SL equipment to each practice.
Coaches will post the final details for the session (e.g. the training trail, etc.) on the LMRT bulletin board (located on your right when exiting the locker room).
Meeting Places:
Development Team participants meet coaches on-snow in front of the main lodge five minutes before the start of morning practice (7:55AM)
J1-5s athletes meet coaches for morning practice in the main locker room 10 minutes before practice starts ready to hit the snow. J1-3s will be expected to help coaches with course setting.
Practice details, including the trail where the course will be set, will be posted on the LMRT bulletin board (on your right when entering the main locker room).
All LMRT athletes meet their coaches after lunch on the snow in front of the lodge at 11:45AM.
Course Inspection & Tear Down:
All athletes must inspect courses before running them for safety and training purposes.
They are also expected to assist with side-slipping afterwards.
Weather:
We practice snow, rain or shine. As long as the Mountain opens, we will train.
A forecast for rain or poor weather usually turns away skiers and leaves the entire mountain for those who show up (and great training for us).
Dress for the weather and maximize your opportunities (i.e. second pair of gloves, etc.)
In the event of severe storms, call the resort’s information line to check on delayed openings (717-642-8282).
In the event of significant snowfall, it is usually not possible to set courses for gate training.
On major powder days (12” or more snow), formal Development Team practice starts at 11:45AM, but come ski as early as you can get to the Mountain safely.
Development Team Participation is not required on severe weather days (e.g. major powder, ice storms, etc.). Please do not risk your safety in order to attend practice.
