Getting a lift on strength and conditioning at Park City’s Center of Excellence
Ernie Rimer is a dedicated and passionate strength and conditioning coach for the U.S. Ski
Team — he oversees all the testing, program design, implementation and follow-through for all
levels of the women’s alpine program. Additionally, Rimer does double duty with the coaching
education department, helping ski coaches to stay current. Originally from Bisbee, Ariz., Rimer
earned his bachelors and masters degrees from Northern Arizona University and is currently a
PhD candidate at the University of Utah. His focus is very clearly on making the U.S. women’s
team the most physically prepared group of ladies out there.
