OG!! - Older Development Team

Stronger Technique. Bigger Goals. More Time on Snow.

Ages 14–19 | December 4–February 28 | 2–3 Days per Week*

The Silver Run OG Team is for teenage Nordic skiers ready to take their skills further through more focused training, technique development, and racing opportunities.

Athletes develop both Skate and Classic skiing through focused drills, games, conditioning, and time on the trails—all within a fun, supportive team environment.

Whether an athlete wants to race, improve their technique, or simply become a stronger Nordic skier, OG gives them the coaching and community to keep progressing.

Younger Powder Seekers may join with coach approval.

Develop as a Nordic Athlete

OG athletes take greater ownership of their skiing while continuing to build strong technical skills.

Throughout the season, athletes will:

  • Develop Skate and Classic technique
  • Train through focused drills, games, and skiing
  • Set individual goals and work toward them
  • Learn to wax and maintain their own equipment
  • Participate in gym training as needed
  • Prepare for and participate in Nordic races
  • Receive race-day coaching and support

The goal is to help athletes become stronger, more independent Nordic skiers while continuing to enjoy the sport with their teammates.

Training & Race Support

Athletes train three days per week before race season and transition to two training days per week during the racing season.

Before Race Season:
Monday, Tuesday & Thursday

During Race Season:
Monday & Tuesday

Season: December 4–February 28

For athletes who choose to compete, Silver Run provides race support, including race-morning assistance with kick wax and ski structure.

Is OG the Right Program?

OG is designed for Nordic athletes ages 14–19 who want to continue developing their technique, fitness, independence, and racing skills.

Current Powder Seekers who are ready for more focused technique development may also move into OG with coach approval.
