Australia/NZ Summer Race Camp

Athletes attending our Australian training camp will
have access to superb Southern Hemisphere training facilities perfect for
developing and refining skill for the upcoming winter
Ideal preparation for the Northern Winter
No Matter if you are a FIS or college racer now is the opportunity for you to experience amazing training and
competitive racing in the Southern Hemisphere. Enjoy summer race training at
Falls Creek Ski Resort one of Australia’s premier alpine training
facilities.
At Falls Creek athletes can look forward to consistent pitches, winter snow
conditions and exclusive training lanes ideal for summer skill development.
Enjoy 8 FIS starts with low penalties
Take advantage of the opportunity to test your skills by
racing in as many as 8 FIS races with the potential to lower your points
prior to the up coming winter.
Like many first year FIS athletes before you athletes
born 1994 can take advantage of the summer FIS series in order to
dramatically improve starting position for the start of their respective
domestic season.
Thanks to amazing race hills, small fields, and
penalties as low as 15 to 25 points on both the men's and women's side FIS
races over the past number of years have been fantastic.
In 2010, we are offering an optional training/race extention in New Zealand to allow racers to maximise their summer training as well as gain more starts with quality fields.
This is a full service camp.
Now accepting Expressions of Interest
for the 2010 Season.

five week program that covers all the possible FIS race starts.
We expect to run the program between the
following dates. July 18th to August 21st 2010. This will be followed by an optional extention to ski the New zealand races.

Professional Programs
International racer has been operating junior
and FIS level alpine camps for many years. Our camps run in
Australia, Canada and Europe. Athletes in our programs have made
excellent personal improvements.
Our Australia camp is designed for the ski racer who wants to keep
training momentum during summer and dedicate off season snow time to
improve their technique, fitness, skills and tactics.
Scheduled weekly training will involve GS and Slalom training
followed by afternoon dry land training and video to support their
on snow program.
We manage all the logistics to enable our athletes to maximize their
training and access all regional FIS level races.
Training Focus
The focus of the Australian camps is on the development, patterning,
and mastering of the technical skills.
Once mastered our goal is to
then sequence technical skills from outside the course along with
tactical sequencing to within markers, stubbies, gate corridors and
finally a rhythmical sets.
Athletes on the Australian camp will have
the opportunity to sequence into full length courses with rhythm
changes
FIS Racing
In 2009, 12 different nations were represented
at the Australian FIS Nationals and Continental Cup Series,
including racers who compete at World Cup and World Champs levels.

First, I have to thank you
for the super good ski camp in Australia. I will
recommend anyone to join your program! As you
know, it was the best time ever to join
International Racer. It didn't only give me good
skiing, but also friends for life! IR's
understanding of ski racing and attention to
detail is excellent.

Dear Luc,
I can not thank you enough.
Brad spoke so highly of you, and he has
experienced a lot of coaching over the years. I
must tell you that his little brother who also
ski's for St Michael's was already saying next
year ! Thanks again, your camp was the best
thing Brad could have done for himself Cheers,

Thanks Luc.
You guys are the best.
Everyone that asks us about the camp and your
organization we tell them they are crazy to send
them anywhere else. Over the years Stephen has
attended several camps outside his schools.
Although these organizations ran good camps they
run a distant second to yours both in terms of
quality of training and responsiveness to
inquiries. Both Ellen and I felt very secure
sending Stephen half way around the world
without knowing anyone else because of your
responsiveness and the efforts that were taken
to make sure the kids would have a great time.
If any parent in the US wants a reference they
can contact us.

Dear Luc and Justin,
On behalf of my husband and
son, Veli and Boian, I wanted to say "Thank You"
for the camp experience you have created for
them. Both of them are thrilled about the time
spent at the camp, and are already talking about
wanting to attend again! Thanks for the guidance
and coaching for my son, who I hear made a lot
of progress! I am looking forward to receiving
the recorded runs, so I can see that too! All in
all, thanks - it has been a great experience.

Just a quick note to say
thank you for providing such a fantastic
training camp at Sun Peaks and for the coaching
and assistance during the Whistler Cup. Also
please extend my thanks to Luc for his
assistance during the Whistler Cup. Djoeke’s
time spend in Sun Peaks was awesome!! The time
at Whistler went extremely fast and has made a
lasting impression on us both!! Djoeke has
learned a lot in a short period of time and has
enjoyed racing against the international
competitors. We are looking forward to our
winter in Australia and hope to be able to make
it back to Canada and ‘International Racer’
soon!!!! Once again thank you both and will see
you soon. Oh nearly forgot!!! Jeff and Luc you
are the BEST!!! Kind regards

Enrolment Policies
The summer camp has a limited number of openings and fill up quickly, so first come, first served.
We suggest you contact us ASAP to nominate your interest. We have
developed over time the following necessary policies for camp enrolment.
[1]
Mandatory. A signed enrolment form and a deposit of $1000.00 CAD is required to request a place in our camps. We cannot register your place until these are received.
[2] The balance of the camp payment must be paid
at a minimum 30 days prior to camp starting to secure your place.
[3] First paid first secured, however, full 6 week participants get place preference over shorter term athletes.
[4] If the camp has already filled you may request entry
onto the programs waiting list. A place will come available if an
athlete cancels their place or we get sufficient numbers to create a new
group.
[5] International Racer,
reserves the right to cancel a training camp based on insufficient numbers for participation. Booked participants will be notified of cancellation 30 days prior to the start of the affected block. International Racer, reserves the right to vary group numbers when necessary,
though maintains a policy to keep numbers at (LE 8:1) in most conditions.
[6] Airport pickup and delivery are set days only, if is
not possible for you to get a flight arriving in the morning on set days, you should arrive on the day before. We are not always able to
accommodate non-standard pickups, athletes with this dilemma may be directed to a bus service. Non-standard pickup/delivery requests will be costed and scheduled
separate to the advertised camp fee.
