Youth Programs, ages 3-10

Youth development programs serve as the entry point into SSWSC for skiers and riders ages 3-10. These programs focus on a fun and welcoming introduction to the disciplines of skiing and snowboarding with a goal of cultivating a lifelong passion for these snowsports while developing the fundamental skills for pursuing each athlete’s highest potential. As one of the only ski and snowboard clubs in the country with programs in all of the ski and snowboard disciplines, we encourage sampling across multiple disciplines and take a well-rounded approach to teaching fundamental skills for each sport. Participants learn the technical skills for their sport from passionate coaches through practice in a variety of activities on their skis or snowboard. These programs provide a strong foundation that children can build off of to move into a competitive program and develop the confidence and love of the sport that allows them to become lifelong skiers and riders. SSWSC’s innovative multiport programs allow young athletes to try multiple sports in the same season, combining alpine skiing, snowboarding, cross country skiing, and ski jumping to develop a broad base of skills and to find the sports each athlete enjoys the most.
