Squaw becomes training site of U.S. ski-snowboard teams
U.S. Ski & Snowboard and Squaw Valley entered a five-year agreement designating the resort as an official training site of the U.S. ski and snowboard team.
Squaw Valley joins Mammoth Mountain, Deer Valley in Utah, Copper Mountain in Colorado and Timberline Lodge in Oregon as one of only five official training sites across the country. In addition to being an official training site, Squaw Valley is a high performance center and development site for the team.
Squaw Valley will host U.S. team athletes for elite training sessions at the resort at key times during the season. Additionally, the high performance center and development center designations connect Squaw Valley staff with the Park City-based Center of Excellence and other high performance centers across the country to share best practices in strength and conditioning, sport science and sports medicine while also acting as a central training and education site for U.S. Ski & Snowboard clubs in the region.
