Grizzlies Plus

Picture
This 2-day weekend program is for our avid Grizzlies who love to ski. Athletes in this program are working towards consolidating foundational skills while on groomers, in gates, freeriding the backside, and in the terrain park. Athletes in this program will also be invited to participate in multiple race and freeride competitions outside of in house events throughout the season. Since our club uniquely offers both a race and freeride pathway for athletes, we encourage all athletes to try both race and freeride competitions at this age, while keeping a proper training to competition ratio as indicated by the LTAD for this age group.
 
This program is for athletes from 6 to 9 years of age who have a strong passion for skiing and are constantly looking for new challenges. Athletes age 6 must be comfortable on green and blue groomed runs on varying terrain and be able to load the chair with minimal assistance before joining this program. Athletes ages 7 and up must start the year comfortably skiing blue and black runs on varying terrain (moguls and groomers). All groups will aim to have a 6:1 athlete to coach ratio
 
Regular Dryland is not provided by the club. As a club we acknowledge and value the benefit of exposure to multiple sport environments in this phase of the athlete’s development. Please consider introducing your athlete to a new activity or sport in the fall before they are back on snow. Skill development in multiple sport environments is key to creating great all-around athletes. Let them play and have fun!
