ABOUT THE PROGRAM

This is a development level program for 7 year old children. The emphasis is on having fun, team building, and skill development through alpine racing. Athletes are at a very important age to develop optimal motor skills. Whether your child aspires to become a competitive racer, or a great all round skier, this program focuses on fostering a love for the sport while developing the FUNdamental skills required to become a competitive skier. Our program incorporates Alpine Canada ACA Snow Stars, a 7-step program which guides children, parents, and coaches through appropriate skill progression.

Our program starts with optional dryland training in the fall, which is included with registration and plays a part in preparing athletes for ski season. Dryland training happens once a week for 4 weeks with activities relating to general fitness (core strength, endurance, agility, and balance). You will be notified of the dates and location in advance, and will be asked to sign up for each date separately the Wednesday prior.

On-snow activities start with a 4-day Christmas camp from December 27th – 30th 2022, where skiers get reacquainted with snow training, working both on and off the course. Christmas camp runs from 9am to 3pm, with a one-hour unsupervised lunch break. Please note that camp dates and hours may be reduced should weather and snow conditions create an unsafe environment or limit terrain availability. Parents and guardians are required to be on-site during training.
