Butch Hoffman 2026 Dryland Scholarship
Thanks to the Butch Hoffman Scholarship Fund athletes get to participate in ice skating/dryland training free of charge! Thank you to Coach Scotty and all of the individual donors that make our scholarship opportunities happen!
Dryland training is twice weekly on Mondays and Wednesdays. Ice-skating is once weekly on Sundays. Early season training starts in September will continue until Thanksgiving. Our focus is on building strength, endurance, and mobility through plyometrics, ladder drills, hill climbs, body weight exercises, and other fun drills. Skiing is all about legs and core, so we are paying special attention to building and stabilizing these muscles. Dryland training is important to build strength, stamina, and power, but is also so essential for injury prevention once we begin training on snow. Please read specific program descriptions to know if the program you are participating in includes dryland training.

The Callantine Family Legacy
The Callantine family’s impact on the Snowbasin Ski Team spans more than three decades and three generations—an enduring story of passion, commitment, and service that helped shape the program into what it is today.
Their journey began in 1990, when 13-year-old Troy joined the team. The family already loved skiing, but Troy’s entry into the program ignited a lifelong passion for ski racing. From the very beginning, his father, Ed, dove in wholeheartedly: hauling gates, taking action photos, volunteering at races, and driving to events across the West. By the following year, he had joined the Board of Directors—just as Troy’s younger brother, Tate, began his own racing career.
Troy spent four years with the team, earning numerous accolades before moving on to race for Weber State University. Tate followed a similar path, competing for seven years, qualifying for the Junior Olympics in 1997, and later racing for Weber State as well. Throughout this entire era, Ed served the program tirelessly. Over his 10 years on the Board of Directors, he filled multiple roles—including Treasurer and President—and rarely missed a race. Whether he was filming in freezing temperatures, waxing skis, carrying gear, or volunteering as Chief of Course, Ed was always there, doing whatever was needed.
The Callantine legacy also grew through coaching. Oldest brother Tyler spent 15 years coaching athletes of all ages—beginning with the youngest DEVO skiers and eventually working with FIS-level athletes. His dedication and ability to connect with athletes left a lasting mark on the program. Tate later followed in his footsteps, returning to coach athletes ages 6 to 14 over a decade of service.
Jerri, though not a skier herself, was equally devoted. She attended as many races as she could, cheering on all the athletes, volunteering at home events, and supporting the team during travel by preparing meals. Ed and Jerri were pillars of the community for many years and continue to support the program through ongoing contributions.
The Callantine love for skiing didn’t stop with Troy, Tyler, and Tate. It carried on to the next generation. McCall skied with the team for seven years, Miles for five, Bode for two, and Alise for one. Today, McCall is in her third year as a coach with the freeride team, while Miles is in his first year as an assistant within the Events Department. Their presence brought Troy back into leadership as well—he served nine years on the Board of Directors, including time as Board President, and now continues as an Ex-Officio member. In true family spirit, Tate once again followed his brother’s example by joining the Board in 2025 to continue giving back.
