“This is the most comprehensive camp we have in the region. Over 40 top athletes and coaches in the region attended this camp last year. Evidence of the quality of the camp and the hard work of coaches is obvious in the outstanding results of the athletes during this past winter. Kyle Fredrickson won Junior National Titles. Laura Valaas joined the USST at the World Ski Championships and skied on to the podium at the U23 World Championships last March. Laura has been named to the US Continental Cup Ski Team (USST B squad) for this year.
This year we already have top athletes and coaches in the region and in the country committed to the camp, including CXC Ski Team members, CXC Junior Development Program members, U-23 World Championships Team members, Junior Olympics medalists, US Ski Team head coach Pete Vordenberg, US Ski Team development coach Matt Whitcomb, CXC Ski Team head coach Bryan Fish and CXC Junior Development Program coach Bill Pierce”, commented Yuriy Gusev (CXC Skiing Chief Executive Officer)
