The Club Team is designed for skiers U10 and up who want to explore ski racing while keeping fun and free skiing at the heart of their experience.

Athletes start by building strong free-skiing fundamentals, using varied terrain, snow conditions, and progressive drills to develop efficient, confident skiing.  Younger athletes focus on skiing all conditions and are introduced to the basics of training and racing.  Older, more experienced athletes work on more advanced skills in preparation for a smooth transition into our Club Plus or Competitive (COMP) Team.

Our Club Flex Team is a variation on the Club program allowing the athlete to select any 2 days/week that work best for training.  This selection can be made during the registration process.
