Backcountry skiers and splitboarders preparing for guided trips, avalanche courses, hut and yurt trips, or regular tours with friends. The workouts scale to your starting fitness, whether you’re new to structured training or returning after time away.

You should already have the skiing or riding skills appropriate for your planned trip or course.

Your purchase includes the full 12-week training plan, workout instructions, weekly guidance, and initial schedule setup based on your intake form.

TrainingPeaks Premium, email support, periodic check-ins, and monthly group Zoom sessions are included for 12 weeks. Your training plan is yours to keep and repeat.

You pay $119 once. There is no recurring subscription.

The full weekly schedule includes two strength workouts, two aerobic sessions, one uphill-conditioning session, and one longer endurance outing. Some sessions can share a day, and suitable ski or splitboard tours can count toward your endurance training.

If you have only 2–3 days available, let me know on your intake form. At the start of the program, I’ll help you prioritize workouts and arrange your schedule around your availability. Training builds progressively over the 12 weeks.

Yes. As conditions allow, touring can replace aerobic, uphill-conditioning, or long endurance sessions. The program supports your days outside rather than competing with them.

No. Hills, stairs, incline treadmills, stair machines, and box-step workouts can provide uphill training. You will need basic free weights (dumbbells or kettle bells, etc) or resistance bands, and a sturdy box or step, plus a way to complete aerobic training (hiking, jogging, walking, cycling, etc).

Yes. Enrollment is open September through December. Early training can use strength work, hiking, running, cycling, and indoor uphill conditioning. Touring can become a larger part of the program as snow arrives.

Check your email for your welcome package. Follow the instructions to sign your waiver, complete a brief intake, and create or sign in to TrainingPeaks and connect with Dane. Once those steps are complete, Dane will confirm your start date and add your program to your calendar.

This is a structured training program with coach support. It includes initial schedule setup, email support, periodic check-ins, and monthly group Zoom sessions during your 12 weeks.

Individual coaching is a separate service for athletes who want personalized programming, ongoing training adjustments, regular individual reviews, and private calls.

Before starting, you can postpone your start date or apply your payment as credit toward another Casaval program or future enrollment. If illness, injury, or other circumstances interrupt training, email dane@casavalpt.com so your remaining schedule can be shifted forward. You may request one schedule shift per calendar month. Changes must be arranged by email; missed workouts do not automatically pause or extend the program.

Payments are nonrefundable, except where required by law. Flexible starts, program credit before starting, and schedule shifts during training help you complete your 12 weeks when circumstances change.

This is a fitness and conditioning program. It does not replace avalanche education, technical instruction, professional guiding, or the skills and judgment appropriate for your terrain.
