Thanksgiving Training Trip (TTT)
What is the TTT?
The Thanksgiving Training Trip (fingers crossed for snow!) will take place this year on November 28th - November 30th, 2025. This is an OPTIONAL trip intended for Varsity skiers and skiers with experience and fitness to ski 20 km.
This year's trip destination is Ironwood, MI where skiers will ski at ABR. Boys and girls skiers will stay at separate Airbnb houses along with the coaches and chaperones.
All food will be provided by skiers' families, who will have the opportunity to sign up for food donations ahead of the trip. The sign-up for food donations is below. The cost per skier will be approximately $200.
It is crucial that parents check their skier's health before the trip and keep the skier home if they are unwell.
