Devo program: Want to improve basic ski skills in a small group setting? This is the program for you! Discover your inner ski bum while exploring the mountain with certified coaches based on the US Ski and Snowboard Freeski training system matrix. Kids will be pushed out of their comfort zone on varied terrain all over the mountain. This group will meet on Saturdays from Jan. 6 to Mar. 30 (13 weeks) from 9am to 3pm, with an unsupervised 45-minute lunch. This program is for kids who know how to ski at an intermediate level. Skiers should be comfortable on green and blue designated runs and be able to ride the chair unattended. Ski gear, a helmet, and a season pass are not included.

Skiers will be grouped by ability and explore the mountain while building skills on both groomed and ungroomed terrain. The devo program is open to ages 8 – 18. $736 Includes preseason dryland conditioning. There is an early bird discount through Oct. 31.

Competitive program: This group will meet on Saturdays from Dec. 2 to April 13 (20 weeks) from 9am to 3pm, with an unsupervised 45-minute lunch. This includes a week-long camp during the holiday break. New this year, the competitive program will meet 2 Sundays a month in addition to the regular Saturday sessions. Occasional “field trips” to other areas for training are expected (lift tickets will be an additional charge). This program is for strong skiers who like to push themselves by skiing steep, ungroomed terrain. Certified coaches will focus on preparing athletes for freeski and terrain park competition. Ski gear, a helmet, and season pass are required, and a back protector is strongly encouraged (and may be required for competition). Competition expenses are extra, and include travel, lodging, lift tickets, entry fees, and food. Oftentimes the team will travel and stay together to keep costs down. In addition to these expenses, the coach’s expenses will be divided among the athletes attending competitions. This includes mileage, perdiem, lodging, and lift tickets. The coach can travel and lodge with families attending if possible, to keep expenses down. This program is open to ages 10-18. $875 includes pre-season dryland conditioning. There is an early bird discount through Oct. 31.

Parent Volunteers: We rely heavily on parent volunteers! upon fulfilling the 15 hour requirement per family you will not be charged the $200 volunteer fee. Hours must be filled by the End of the Season.

Scholarship: If the tuition is a financial burden to your family, we encourage you to apply for a scholarship. Scholarships applications are due Sept. 30. Here is a link to the application: SCHOLARSHIPAPPLICATION[1]
