I received my invitation to Skeleton School today! The email included info on when, where, what and how much.

The cost is $1,100 plus gear (including: mouthguard, elbow and knee pads, sweatsuit, gloves, running gear for sprinting in the gym, general cold weather clothing) and travel. The school fee includes housing at the OTC, meals, track fees and t-shirt.

Instruction includes: how to train for skeleton, how to conduct a start, how to drive a sled, how to do a track walk, skeleton maintenance and runner care.

Itinenary highlights include: skeleton training, watching international training, sprint training, 4-item test and push training.
