Check back in June for 2024-25 for detailed Training and Race dates!

See sections below for general program calendar & schedule information.

Dryland Training

[FALL 2024 DATES TBA]

Dryland training takes place every Tuesday from 5pm until 6:30 pm at at Antzak Park in Cottonwood Heights. Dryland training allows our athletes to build strength, cardio endurance, and balance that are crucial to ski racing. Athletes of all ages may participate in dryland training, and activities will be modified for each athlete depending on their age and level of experience. Examples of dryland activities include (but are not limited to): dynamic warm-ups, core strengthening, bodyweight exercises, agility work, competition simulation, and group games like soccer or ultimate frisbee.

On-Snow Training

[2024-25 DATES TBA]

All Brighton Ski Team athletes participate in Saturday training sessions at Brighton Resort. Athletes meet their coaches at the Ski Patrol a-frame (directly across from the Alpine Rose Lodge) ready to ski at 8:40 am. Athletes are responsible for bringing their own bag lunch to each training session. Training concludes at 3:00 pm.

Evening training sessions will start the first week in January, conditions permitting. Tuesday evenings at Brighton are for YSL athletes. Athletes will train in “stubby” gates under the Snake Creek lights from 5-8pm. These training sessions allow for more free-skiing time, which is developmentally appropriate for younger athletes. Tuesday and Thursday evenings at Utah Olympic Park (UOP) are for South Series athletes. Athletes will train in full gates on from 6:30-8:00pm. These training sessions allow for a many rapid laps through a training environment more similar to a competition environment, which is developmentally appropriate for older athletes.

Holiday Race Camp Schedule

[2024-25 DATES TBA]

Holiday Race Camp takes place between Christmas and New Years and it is open to YSL and South Series athletes. Please note that if the Race Camp schedule overlaps with a typical Saturday training session, Devo athletes should come to training as usual. 

2024-25 Race Schedule TBA

The full 2023-24 race schedule for Intermountain Division (IMD) can be found here. That link will be updated when the 2024-25 calendar is published, and race dates specific to BST athletes will be added to this section. Here are some general notes for what you can anticipate for a race schedule based on what has historically been true:

  • YSL athletes can expect 3 races. All three races are coed. The first two of those races will be one-day events, and the third race will be a two-day event.

  • South Series athletes can expect 4 races. The first three races are one-day per gender events. In other words, they are two day events where the girls race one day and the boys race the other. The fourth race (Championships for qualifying athletes and Finals for everyone else) is a two-day coed event.

  • BST will not be attending U14/U16 Qualifier or IMD Open events in the 2024-25 season.

Final Training Days, Ski School Races, Family Ski Day

All athletes’ final training days will be the session prior to their final race. Families will receive updates from their athlete’s coach/es as these dates approach. For the 2024-25 season, we are exploring the possibility of adding spring training camp dates at Brighton and/or Snowbird. These would be available for an additional fee and dependent on coach & athlete availability.

BST will host Ski School Races for the Brighton Ski School (Little Rippers) in February and March. This is a super fun event and one of the ways we introduce young skiers to alpine racing (and, by extension, invite them to join our team)! These races need lots of hands to set up, run, and take down - so keep an eye out for volunteer signups.

The BST Family Ski Day & Awards Cookout takes place at Brighton in late March (date TBA). All athletes, family members, and friends are welcome! We will set up a dual panel slalom course (two courses side-by-side) and tailgate on the hill. Fun (and ski-safe) costumes are always highly encouraged! All athletes are recognized for their achievements and receive a personalized award from their coaches based on their accomplishments throughout the year, so we hope to see everyone there.
