Our program goals include the development of sound skiing fundamentals for lifelong enjoyment of our sport, a sound competitive experience that supports the athlete at all levels of competition and personal development through a healthy sporting environment.
To provide the correct training and competitive environment, our Race Team program trains and competes in what is essentially two racing series. Our primary considerations in choosing one or the other, are age and experience. 13 and 14 year olds may train and compete in either of the programs.
A new proposal for this year is our JUNIOR RACE TEAM: The Jr. Race Team is a program intended for 8-12 year old skiers with limited race experience.
The Jr. Race Team is designed for those who want to take a step further towards the competitive path. Our coaches will blend all-mountain skiing, gate-training, drills, the terrain park and other options in a curriculum designed to develop a strong skiing foundation. Our emphasis will be on fun, participation and learning. Participants will be encouraged to participate in the local Tommy Moe Competition Series.
The Jr. Race Team begins Dec 27th 2009 with 5 continuous day of training in the Holiday Camp and continues each Saturday through March 20, 2010. Hours are 9:00 am – 3:00 pm with a 1 hour unsupervised lunch break 11:00-12:00.
The Jr. Race Team is priced at $550 until Sept 30, 2009. Pricing from October on is $630.
The Jr. Race Team requires a minimum number of participants to activate the program. Season Pass, equipment, competition and travel costs are not included in program fees.
At the next level, the
Youth Ski League Group maintains a strong developmental mission and enters competitions that offer appropriate competition levels whether introductory or more elite. Following that, the
Scored Racing series offers more intensive racing and training and usually is best suited for racers with some racing experience.
1) Youth Ski League (ages 8-14) These
programs are geared toward gaining skiing fundamental skills and competitive experience through a curriculum of free-skiing and gate training progressions and racing. In addition to our regular training sessions participants have competition opportunities based on the Youth Ski League of the Northern Division of USSA and the Tommy Moe Series at our home resort. Participants can find an easy introduction to racing or train and compete at the elite levels of USSA competition.
2)
USSA/FIS Scored Racing. (ages 13-19) These
programs continue skill and fundamental development with free-skiing and gate training progressions. Athletes in this program have competition opportunities in the Northern Division of USSA, Western Region FIS events and potentially beyond depending on qualifications. Participants in these programs often use their experience to compete in the national, international or collegiate system, or to enjoy a lifetime of skiing with finely tuned skiing skills.
