Best For All Around Athletes
Skier Development Program (Ages 5-10)
Lesson Type: Group
Lesson Description
FULL WEEKENDS OR SATURDAY/SUNDAY, AGES 5-10
For skiers aged 5-10 who are working on solidifying skills necessary for the level 4, 5 and 6 standard. The program will focus on developing the core fundamental skiing skills to create a solid foundation. This will help to create versatile and adaptable skiers who can choose any direction they wish to take their skiing. Skiers will be challenged in a varied terrain such as gladed runs, moguls, steeps, park, and in the gates so as to consolidate technique that will allow them to dictate line and turn shape in a variety of terrain. This is a season long program for athletes who are committed to develop their skiing to the highest level.

Getting your child prepared
