The current Jamaican bobsled team mainly trains on the ice track at Mt. Van Hoevenberg in Lake Placid, New York , and often stays in nearby Saranac Lake , which is being developed as a home training base during winter.

Main training base

  • The team spends winters practicing “sliding” (actual bobsled runs) at Mt. Van Hoevenberg, just outside Lake Placid, NY.
  • Local authorities in Franklin County, New York have supported a plan for the team to use Hotel Saranac in Saranac Lake as their home base while they train on the Lake Placid track.

Other training spots and methods

  • Over the years, the Jamaican team has also used Lake Placid as a training venue in earlier Olympic cycles, making it a long‑standing hub for them.
  • They have occasionally trained in other locations with facilities like push-start tracks and gyms (for example, a pre‑Beijing 2022 camp at the University of Bath in the UK to work on sprint starts and strength).
  • When they lack ice access or during disruptions, they’ve become known for creative dry‑land training methods, such as pushing vehicles on roads to simulate sled starts.

In short, if you’re wondering “where does the Jamaican bobsled team train” today, think Lake Placid/Mt. Van Hoevenberg for ice and Saranac Lake as their seasonal home base , with occasional camps and creative off‑ice training elsewhere.
