Alpine skiing has a long history of training and competition at Holderness. The varsity alpine team is best suited for individuals with prior skiing experience, who can link parallel turns and who have an interest in racing. We also have skiers every year who begin with little experience and progress quickly to the competitive level.
The season starts when students return from Thanksgiving break. Monday through Friday students train at Loon Mountain on 61 trails and 322 acres of terrain. The team's primary focus is slalom and giant salmon, and they compete on Wednesdays against other prep schools in the Lakes Region.
Following the basic pedagogy of the USSA’s alpine race training system, daily on-snow workouts consist of free skiing, drill-based free skiing, and gate training sessions. There are also occasional dryland training sessions on campus that take place under the supervision of the school’s physical trainer. Video review and ski tuning are a regular part of our routine as well.
It may be cold outside, but Holderness School’s athletics teams have enjoyed a white-hot start to the winter sports season, with the boys and girls varsity basketball teams going undefeated in tournament play and boys varsity hockey going undefeated in their early-season games.
Two Holderness student-athletes recently competed in the International Indoor Junior Lacrosse World U15 and U17 Championships, taking home silver and bronze medals for Team USA.
Ten Holderness School student-athletes committed to play competitive college athletics on Wednesday, November 10. These students represent some of the top athletic talent in New Hampshire and New England and are testaments to Holderness School’s culture of academic and athletic excellence.
Nine Holderness School student-athletes committed to play competitive college athletics on Tuesday, April 20. These students represent some of the top athletic talent in New Hampshire and New England and are testaments to Holderness School’s culture of academic and athletic excellence.
Just as Holderness School nears completion on its new 35,000 square-foot math and science building this spring, the school is set to embark on a series of transformative upgrades to its Nordic trails and athletic fields.
Spring may have already sprung in the foothills of the White Mountains, but winter is still going strong for the Holderness School ski program with skiers competing in national championships and elite training camps across the country.
