The alpine team will concen
trate on ‘‘coordinating speed
and technique” as they practice
maneuvering downhill through
the race gates during training,
says Scott Ware, new head
coach of the nordic and alpine
teams.
Ware is a certified ski techni
cian and has had several years
of racing and coaching ex
perience. He also will be a racer
oh the alpine team and a stu
dent at the University starting
next fall.
Ware is hoping for a large
turnout at the organizational
meeting. "We want to get peo
ple to come to the meeting so
they will be on the ball to know
ing that a ski club exists and
what kind of training we have to
offer," he says.
Skiers who are not interested
in competitive racing but would
like the opportunity to train and
improve their techniques also
are welcome to come to the
meeting and join the club, Ware
adds.
Most club sports teams do not
offer non-competitive athletes
this opportunity, Rogers says.
“We’re unique as a club sport in
this respect because we give
everyone a chance to
participate."

techniques, as well as bad, Sim
mons says. In addition, prac
tices will be videotaped to allow
the skiers to observe their own
strengths and weaknesses.
Conditioning exercises such
as running, bicycling and
“mountain-type” trail work,
like jogging up and down
wilderness trails, also will be
part of the training program,
Simmons adds.
A new addition to the “dry
land” program this summer
will be a race-training camp at
Mt. Hood’s Palmer Snowfield,
which is also the training area
for the U.S. Ski Team, Rogers
says.
The camp will be three days
of “intense training, eight
hours a day,” Simmons says,
adding that there will be a lot of
“mental work” in addition to
the the physical training.
“It’s a matter of good condi
tioning at the outset (and) a
dedicated effort to improve,”
Simmons says.
