TRAINING SCHEDULE

Fall and winter schedules are provided to members following registration. 

Dryland Training:

Runs mid October to the first of December and is usually between 2 & 4 days per week in 1 1/2 – 2 hour sessions. Training is usually a mix of work done in a diving pool, a gym, and the Gymnastics Centre. Exact startup date is determined by when the water ramp closes. The end of this training usually is dependant on snow and temperatures. See separate schedules provided for exact times, dates, and venues. 

Winter Snow Training:

Our main snow training is at Canyon Ski Area, and starts as soon as the hill is open in late November. It runs to the middle of March when Canyon typically closes. The team also trains some weekday evenings in the superpipe at C.O.P., averaging about one trip to Calgary every week. A Canyon ski pass is suggested. Training at Canyon usually runs from 5:30 PM to 9 PM on the weekdays and from 9:30 AM to 3 or 3:30 PM on weekends. Early season training may be organized on weekends, if reasonable. These weekends are primarily for athletes moving inverted tricks from the water ramps to snow, so that the time between water and snow is as short as possible. The team has also organized other mountain training weekends, at places such as Kicking Horse, Sunshine, Apex, and Lake Louise. See separate on-snow schedules provided for exact times, dates, and venues. 

Christmas Training Camp:

Usually a three/four day camp during the Christmas break held with the goal of intensified training to get a good start on the competition season, and for team building.
