Future Stars

Age Group: Minimum 7 years old

An introductory, weekend program emphasizes parallel carving, basic racing techniques, and having fun!

Program Information

Coaching and instruction is tailored to athletes ages up to 11, and takes place in small groups.
Primarily focuses on skiing and racing fundamentals through free skiing - both directed (targeting specific skills and terrain, and guided by the coach) and undirected (high mileage, all terrain, athlete selected runs, under supervision from the coach).
The emphasis is to put many "miles" under the skis in a variety of terrain to improve balance, coordination, edge control, and dynamic movements and overall confidence.
Participate in age appropriate terrain and obstacle courses designed to build the strong skiing fundamentals and acquire basic racing tactics (rather than full-length gate courses).
Participants learn good sportsmanship and are encouraged to have a positive attitude.
Provides opportunities to race and be introduced to both NASTAR and USSA.
Our most important goal is to provide a safe and fun learning environment.

Staffing & Athlete-to-Coach Ratio:

The Future Stars Program is staffed by several coaches that work collaboratively to meet the individual needs of each participant.
