"We provide the opportunity for any hard-working and passionate alpine racer to achieve personal athletic greatness"

It goes without saying that our ski racing athletes are immersed in an environment that translates their efforts into athletic success.  What makes GMVS unique in the world of ski academies is that we offer first rate ski racing opportunities in a community with theater and arts, extracurricular sports and unmatched success in academic achievement.

We offer a diverse and experienced coaching staff with many training venues.   Take a look at our weekly training schedule.  You will see that what we offer are multiple simultaneous and staggered training options on a variety of sites. Our large coaching staff and multiple training venues can address the individual needs of each racer and provide staffing for races and training without compromising the effectiveness and safety of either.

Training is available year round.  In the summer, the most competitive ski racers participate in intense strength and condition training and at least one on-snow camp.  In the fall and spring, students have two rigorous dry land training blocks daily which focus on strength, balance and conditioning. Students electing to play soccer and/or lacrosse, practice their team sport during one of the training blocks. Many athletes also attend on-snow training camps abroad in the Fall.
