Alpine Racing U12 [Ages: 10-12]
*Based on the age of your child on December 31st
This program is for kids who are interested in alpine racing and competing, or kids who want to work on their fundamental skiing skills using racing to teach those skills at a high level. In this program, the coaches help develop a technical base of knowledge and further the desire of the skiers to learn more about the sport of alpine ski racing. Training includes skiing bumps, powder, trees, jumps, gates and steeps, equipment preparation and more. The program is ideal for motivated skiers who want more training and competition opportunities. All skiers participate in the Steamboat Cup Series and U.S. Ski & Snowboard Rocky Mountain Division competitions. Athletes participating in fall sports do not need to attend dryland training that is in conflict with their practice schedule, but dryland is highly encouraged for all others. The U12 Ski Meisters and U12 Ski & Jump programs are options that include ski jumping and cross country skiing for a complete skiing skill set! Jumping and cross country training goes through March 13.
