Who We Are
The legacy continues! Erich Sailer pioneered summer ski racing camps at Mt. Hood in 1956. His formula still works today: High-volume, high-quality slalom and giant slalom training with motivated coaches, including top pacesetter coaches that can demonstrate and explain how to be faster, including former and current Olympians, National Team members, World Pro Ski Tour racers, and NCAA athletes.
This year, Erich’s daughter, Martina, and 6x Olympian Sarah Schleper are teaming up to run camp! They have decades of experience racing, training, coaching, and running camps designed for aspiring ski racers! The days are packed with on-snow gate training and drills, video sessions, dryland workouts, motivational talks, tuning clinics, and, of course, a lot of fun!
We offer intense training for serious racers of all ages, including slalom and giant slalom sessions on Lane 1 against the stunning backdrop of Mt. Hood, Oregon, in June (known for its optimal summer conditions). Our dynamic pacesetter coaches demonstrate cutting-edge techniques to elevate your ski racing prowess.
Camp dates are June 8-13 and 14-19 – check out www.skicamps.com for more details.
