Both AIS and NSWIS athletes benefited from training on a world class course / facility throughout the domestic season. The camp was identified to replicate World Cup speeds and features, so athletes could refine their skills and technique in preparation for World Cup and Olympic competition.
Teams from the USA, Switzerland, Germany, France and Norway were all in attendance.
Dual World Champion and AIS athlete Alex Pullin, togther with NSWIS athletes Belle Brockhoff, Cam Bolton, Daniel Morrissy and Jarryd Hughes also took full advantage of the great training facilities in New Zealand. NSWIS coach Lu Prem said "the athletes made a huge progression over the two week camp, and are in pretty good shape to start the World Cup season."
After a successful domestic season on snow, AIS & NSWIS athletes are now back in the Gym with OWIA Strength and Conditioning coaches John Marsden and Mike Talic, focusing on a six week block of training in Narrabeen, NSW, before the international season starts.
The next on snow camp will be in Austria before the opening World Cup in Montafon, also in Austria.
