Want your child to develop all-around skiing skills that will provide the foundation for competitive skiing? The Development Program is the first step for skiers joining the Competition Center for the first time. The program is a 9-week ski program geared toward skiers ages 6 to 12 who are of intermediate ability or higher. Skiers in this program move on to our competitive teams specializing in specific disciplines in alpine ski racing. Our focus is to create lifelong skiers while learning to ski the whole mountain in all conditions. Skiers will be exposed to racing and all-mountain skill sets. Groups of roughly 10-12 children of similar age and ability will work closely with an expert Competition Center coach toward skill improvement. Internal competition opportunities will be provided, but are not required. If new to the team please click here to sign up and enter your information.
ABILITY EXPECTATIONS:
Younger skiers must, at minimum, be able to get on and off the lift unassisted (this is a non- negotiable) and be able to stop and make wedge turns on blue terrain, be able to manage their gear, and be able to get up unassisted. Most groups accommodating athletes 8 years old and above will start the season skiing at an advanced level. Skiers who do not meet these requirements should consider our Ski & Ride Academy.
