The Best Pre-Season Training

It's SO Good!

Copper, Colorado is North America’s premier fall training site and home of the country's best November snow. The U.S. Ski Team trains alongside U.S. Elite daily. The Copper Mountain base area sits at an elevation of 9712'. Early season snow isn't a problem this high up!

Time To Get Ready

The Copper Thanksgiving Camp will prepare you for the race season with six intense days of skiing and training. The competitive atmosphere, daily training, video, and private training lanes create the perfect early season training camp.

Elite Pass

If needed, U.S. Elite athletes may receive the privilege of using a special ‘line cutting’ pass on the busy days that allows for more skiing and more time training. This all-inclusive training camp is set up for athletes who want to get the most out of their camp and leave fired up & ready to race. Another cool thing we do!

More Cool Stuff

We pay attention to the small details. We have training lanes that are age-specific. We have our own private lunch room at the base of Copper. We bring a house mom/nurse to help our campers feel more at home. We have a private coach-bus to get everyone up to Copper from Denver. We have cool U.S. Ski Team guest speakers. We are all-inclusive! We have fun every day!

The Details

Spaces are limited and registration closes when camp is full. Copper Thanksgiving Camp is another all-inclusive U.S. Elite Camp! Camp includes all skiing, coaching, daily training, daily fitness/recovery program, breakfast, lunch, dinner (the day-camper option does not include breakfast or dinner), video analysis, private bus transportation from Denver Airport to Copper Resort, and back* on designated travel days, in-depth coaches evaluation and fun!

*Denver bus transportation is included for Boarding Athletes. Day Camper families may join the U.S. Elite private bus for an additional fee. If traveling separate from the group flight (within approved 'window'), please confirm itinerary with camp office before booking any Unaccompanied Minor travel. Thanks!

Travel With A Chaperone

The team at U.S. Elite Camps have coach-chaperoned group flights from the Boston/Hartford area and the New York City area (depending on demand) to Denver so campers travel with coaches door to door! It's a great way to meet other kids at camp and it makes the trip a bit easier on the parents!

Team Turkey/Tofurkey!

U.S. Elite's traditional Thanksgiving Dinner and Awards Banquet is a fun highlight of the week. Day camper families, athletes, coaches, and guests all gather for this annual festive holiday dinner. We meet all special dietary needs!
