Project Lillehammer
Project Lillehammer is a home nations performance programme available to our Performance Squad and their counterparts in the rest of Great Britain. The project is run by our Performance Coach for Cross-country Skiing, Alex Standen. Starting in 2019, the project aims to provide an alternative route for athletes looking to transition from youth through to senior cross-country ski racing. The project provides a winter base in Lillehammer, Norway to extend and optimise time on snow and to provide access to high quality, frequent, local racing in preparation for major events.
