FISRace Methodology
5–30Day Blocks
1 hrDaily Dryland
Engineered for competitive athletes and masters racers.
These elite camps are built to lower your FIS points and sharpen your kinematic efficiency. Training on the world's premier summer and autumn glaciers, including Saas-Fee, Hintertux, Sölden, Stubai, Pitztal, Kühtai and Kaunertal, this is a full time athletic development program combining gate tactics, biomechanical analysis and targeted dryland conditioning, not just time on snow.
Advanced camp or race camp, which one is for you?
If you already carve confidently on red and black pistes but have never
skied a gate, the advanced camp is the right entry: same terrain, same speed
work, without the timing pressure. If you compete, or coach athletes who do,
the race format adds gate setting, line choice and tactical work against
the clock. Both run from the same technical base. The difference is what
we measure at the end of the day.
Where Races Are Actually Won or Lost
At competitive level, technique is rarely the limiting factor, timing is. Hundredths of a second come from micro movements you cannot feel yourself, a slightly late edge change, an inefficient line through a gate combination, a pole plant that costs momentum. Daily kinematic video analysis exists to expose exactly these details, the same detail level national teams use to prepare athletes for FIS venues.
Premium Venues

Camp Logistics and FAQ
Click a question to see the answer.
Are training lanes pre-booked?
Yes, we coordinate directly with glacier management, at Saas-Fee, Hintertux and others, to secure dedicated SL and GS lanes. Lane availability dictates our daily morning schedule.
Will I get copies of the video analysis?
Absolutely. All daily kinematic footage and frame by frame mechanical breakdowns are shared with athletes for their personal records and ongoing off season review.
What if my level is not quite competitive or elite yet?
Be honest with yourself before applying: this program assumes a strong racing foundation and a high fitness level already in place. If you are building towards that, our Private Ski Lessons are the better starting point, and this program will be here once you are ready for it.
How does payment work and what is the cancellation policy?
A deposit secures your block, and the balance is settled before the camp begins. Cancellation is free of charge up to 30 days beforehand, given the length and lane reservations involved in these camps.
Do I need my own race equipment?
Yes, for a race camp at this level you should bring your own race skis and boots. We provide equipment tuning advice on edge angles, boot alignment and setup, but the equipment itself is not supplied.
What about accommodation and travel?
These are arranged independently by athletes. We are happy to recommend accommodation options near the training venues, but lodging, meals, flights and ground transport are not included in the camp fee.
How are lane fees split among participants?
The dedicated glacier training lanes are booked for the group and the cost is split evenly among the athletes confirmed for that camp block.
Important Exclusions
Lane fees for dedicated glacier training lanes are split among camp participants. Ski passes, flights and ground transportation are not included. Accommodation and board are arranged independently by athletes, though we can recommend options near the training venues.
