The Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club has announced three new programs. First, a Summer Residency Program, which will run from July 3^rd to Aug. 6^th. This program is open to athletes who will be J1 or older during the 2007-2008 season. Athletes in the Summer Rez Program will live with local families and train once or twice per day with the SSWSC Cross Country Crew.

The second program is a year-long Post Grad Program for athletes who have completed high-school and are interested in training and competing for one or two years without losing any college eligibility.  This give skiers a chance to increase their training volume and improve their abilities so that they are prepared to compete successfully in an NCAA Div. 1 program.

Finally, the SSWSC is offering a full-time, September to May program for high school age skier who are interested in joining a top-tier team in order to further their development as cross country athletes. Student-athletes in this program will either attend the Lowell Whiteman School (www.lws.edu), living in the dorms or attend Steamboat High School and live with a local family.
