The Club Plus Team is for U10+ skiers ready to commit more time to developing their skiing and racing skills. Training focuses on strong free-skiing fundamentals, using varied terrain, conditions, and drills to build confident, efficient skiers.

Athletes benefit from expanded training, including night sessions (Jan–March) and optional fall camp and spring block, providing more time on snow and deeper coaching.  Younger athletes build all-mountain skills and race basics.  Older athletes prepare for the transition to the Competitive (COMP) Team through advanced training.
While podiums are a goal, we prioritize skill development and process-based growth—because great skiing leads to great results.

This is a 3 day/ week program with an option to add on our Ski X program.
