Our dedicated training space and competition opportunities bring teams together, inspire greatness, and get those race points on the board. After all, winning isn’t everything, but it sure is nice.
01
Alpine training
Mt. Sima offers early season training on 300 vertical meters of varied terrain serviced by a fixed grip quad chair with a 10 minute ride to the top.
- Dan’s Descent, a FIS homologated course for Alpine Slalom and Giant Slalom
- Gold Rush for Slalom and Giant Slalom
- Snow will be prepared to the hardest “race ready” surface and lined with a single layer of B-Net
02
Freestyle and slopestyle training
The terrain park is set up so that you can train on everything in one run, from top to bottom, as the features get progressively bigger. The Big Air can be hit after the Upper and Lower Park. We offer sled access to Big Air and Triple Jump Lines. This lets athletes get more laps in each day and builds a quicker progression. Sleds are limited to 3 per site to maximize quality and minimize congestion. Sled bookings are on a first-come first-serve basis and must be booked in advance.

Upper Park
- A series of small and medium jumps 10 to 20 ft

Lower Park
- 2 to 3 large rails leading to triple jump line

Ready when you are
November has arrived and while other hills anxiously wait for their first snowflake, our snow-building experts are pitching the posts and smoothing down the tracks. Your team can be warmed up and racing laps before most have even pulled out their gear.
And with our guaranteed snow year after year, we’ve got the pre-season routine down to a tee. So you can arrive with nothing but team talks and training plans on your mind.
