TEAM NEWS - September 15th 2026
Sweden 2026 - Open for athlete enrollments
Our Sweden project for 2026 is open for enrollments. This will be a busy and quickly filling camp, so to avoid going on the waiting list, interested athletes should get in touch as soon as possible. First step is an interview with out head coach and a discussion of your training goals.
Sweden is a conducted on a World Cup level prepared surface.
New Zealand 2026 Project was Productive
Our 2026 New Zealand program was a very productive camp with 5 groups enjoying five weeks of very good training conditions at Round Hill and SL races at Treble Cone. A number of our attending racers, had podium results and there were also several who made points, including a number of first year FIS who made impressive results and point jumps.
The extention group who stayed for the late season races (beyond the core 5 week camp) unfortunately had rough weather, but the group was able to participate in the races that did proceed. These races had many World Cup, Olympic and Europa Cup level athletes attending.

Additionally, we train at Pozza di Fassa stadium and attend the races there.
IR is an independent alpine ski racing organization that supports the ambition of alpine athletes who want to develop robust skills.
Skill level primarily drives successful outcomes and increased confidence, in alpine athletes. That is our focus.
Skill level also drives sustainable performance, we want to build alpine athletes who can reproduce performance in any race in any country, because their skill level, confidence, and physical state support that.
We created "IR" to bridge the gap between race clubs and the elite national teams. Clubs can only offer so much to an individual athlete and cannot provide the depth of skill development and training location opportunity that IR was set up to deliver. IR is not anchored by club or association politics, which can hold athletes back. IR was created by coaches who only want to focus on the skills athletes need to generate success in the course.
Join our upcoming camp in Sweden, focused on prepared surface training, that will test your skills and immediately give feedback on your level. It is humbling, BUT, after 5 weeks, you will have a significant edge on your peers and walk away with a new confidence in any race condition, that your skills will hold up.
WHO WE ARE
PROFESSIONAL BELIEFS
1. Developing robust Skills, (foundational and technically accurate skiing skills) is the primary key to performance, ability to execute, and confidence.
2. The best platform for performance is an athletic frame with elite strength and high aerobic capability.
3. The most successful alpine athletes, regardless of the course, the conditions, or the difficulty, embrace the opportunity to train/compete and would not wish to be anywhere else. That is the mindset that generates opportunities to perform well.
4. An elite alpine athlete, has a mastery of all technical skills both inside and outside of a course.
5. Work effort, grit, persistence, experience, and knowledge, always create opportunities to win, over time.
6. Anything worth achieving in life, is difficult. REPEAT. Anything worth achieving in life, is difficult.
7. Your competition is working harder than you think.
8. Athletes do not rise to the occasion under stressful situations, they fall to their lowest level of base skill. So we focus on raising that base.
9. We do not train athletes to get it right once, we train them to get it right every time.
10. Hope is NOT a strategy.
