Winter Training Trip (WTT)

What is the Winter Training Trip?

The annual Winter Training Trip will take place this year on Monday, December 29th - Wednesday, December 31st, 2025. This is an OPTIONAL trip for all skiers on the team. This year's trip destination will be at Giant's Ridge in one of Minnesota's very popular hotspots... Biwabik.

The skiers will stay at YMCA's Camp Esquagama >>. Skiers will stay in heated bunk houses that sleep fourteen.  The camp has a main lodge to hang out, wax skis, eat meals, play games, etc.  

Skiers will have the opportunity to ski several times over the three-day trip. All skiers on the team are all welcome. If you have a new skier, be sure that your skier can ski fast enough to keep themselves warm for a couple hours of training.

The cost per skier is approximately $300. This costs includes food (parent provided), lodging accommodations (except for meals to and from Giant's Ridge on bus), travel, and ski passes.

Your main point of contact for the trip is Andrea Poppinga. Email her at andreamnewman@yahoo.com.
