Thomas P. Barbeau Ski Enterprises Summer Ski Camp-Hintertux, Austria

CAMP DATES:          JI, JII, JIII, JIV, JV - June 23 - July 4

 Parents are invited

CAMP LOCATION:  Zillertal Glacier, Hintertux, Austria

The Thomas P. Barbeau Summer Ski Camp is an alpine ski camp conducted on the Zillertal glacier located in the Tyrol Alps in Austria, 1.5 hours southeast of Innsbruck.  Glacier skiing guarantees that there will be good snow year round. The lift system includes three gondolas, two chairlifts, and four T-bars. The number of lifts insure little or no lift lines, which equates to more time on the snow (more information on the facilities)!

Hintertux is the summer training site for the Austrian, Slovenian, German, Canadian, and U.S. ski teams. The 4-Star Alpenhof Hotel is our home during our stay.

Modern Ski Racing Techniques:  The program is designed to introduce the latest in World Cup technique and ingrain the correct fundamentals and basics of ski racing to improve the athlete both as a racer and a skier. Summer skiing is the perfect time to learn, practice new skills and build a winning foundation. The coaching staff uses daily video taping, giving athletes instant feedback on their progress.

Age Levels and Philosophy:  All levels of JI, JII, JIII, JIV and JV racers are welcome.  The camp’s philosophy is to develop each individual athlete at his or her own pace and instill a hard work ethic both technically on the slopes and athletically through daily conditioning.

Off-Snow Activities Off-Snow activities include mountain runs, hiking, tennis, football, soccer, swimming, mountain biking and sight-seeing along with visits to Innsbruck and the legendary Kitzbuhel.
