Team Welch

Post High School Training

An exclusive opportunity for local high school alpine athletes to keep training after their high school season ends, by joining TEAM WELCH USSA training sessions for the remainder of the season. The program typically runs into March, as long as weather and snow allow.

Who Can Join

Athletes must be an active member of one of Welch Village’s home high school programs: Hastings Alpine, Northfield Coop Alpine, or Rochester Alpine.

What You Train

Most of the training focuses on slalom, with giant slalom included, especially for Scored and FIS athletes who still have GS races on the calendar. Post High School athletes get exclusive access to our high-speed rope tow lift and the Sweeny race training hill for certain sessions, which significantly increases training laps and repetitions. Recent snowmaking capacity improvements on that hill mean we expect to extend race training deeper into spring than most ski areas in the region.
