Pre-Season Ski Conditioning: 6 week Hybrid In-person and Online Training Series

Wednesday at 6:30PM. 

Vasta – Waterbury & ATP

Series Starts: October 14, 2026

Led by Courtney Kaup, DPT and Avery Finelli, DPT

Build Dynamic Power, Reduce Knee Injuries, and Prepare for Winter with Dryland Training.

Preparing the human body for the physical demands of winter sports requires more than generic fitness routines. The Alpine Training Project in Waterbury, VT delivers an evidence-based, 6-week pre-season ski conditioning series engineered to build strength, endurance, enhance dynamic stability, and reduce the risk of common alpine injuries.

Led by physical therapist Courtney Kaup and Avery Finelli, this hybrid training program combines weekly, high-energy, in-person, group circuit style HIIT workouts at Vasta with video-led workouts that you complete at home or in your gym on your own time. This program builds week over week preparing you to tackle your goals for this winter season. The workouts are scalable to your current fitness level and aspirations for your time in the mountains.

Your registration for the hybrid program includes 6 months of access to ATPs online training content that carries you through the season with in-season training and tune up workouts. Whether charging deep resort powder, carving steep groomed terrain, or setting skin tracks in the backcountry, this program provides the physiological base needed to ski harder, recover faster, and stay out longer.

Instructor Profile:

Courtney Kaup, DPT:

Biography:  I am an avid outdoor enthusiast, telemark skier, and volunteer ski patroller with a strong passion for skiing, snowboarding, movement, and the mountain environment. I enjoy helping others develop confidence and competence on the slopes while creating a positive, supportive, and safe learning experience. My background in physical therapy provides me with a strong understanding of movement, biomechanics, balance, and skill development, which I incorporate into my approach to instruction. As a volunteer ski patroller, I also value safety, situational awareness, and sound decision-making in the mountain environment. I look forward to preparing participants for the upcoming ski/ snowboard season.
