Winter Alpine Racing

U12 Alpine Racing and Ski Jumping

The U12 Alpine Racing and Ski Jump program is for kids who are interested in alpine racing and for kids who just want to work on their fundamental skiing skills using racing to teach those skills at a high level. Training includes gate training, skiing bumps, powder, trees, jumps, and steeps, equipment preparation and more. Skiers participate in the local Steamboat Cup Series and RMD Age Class races within the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Rocky Mountain Division. 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 Race & Jump programs adds ski jumping on Fridays through the winter for a more complete skillset and for the thrill of ski jumping. Jumping training continues through March 12.
