U12 Race
This program enables young athletes to develop their skills in a competitive environment. These athletes will have a chance to participate in a club race, race provincially, try a ski cross race and an all mountain competition. A typical day of training will consist of technical free skiing or gate training in the morning and free-skiing the great terrain at Lake Louise in the afternoon. The basic program consists of weekends, Christmas camps and a spring camp, but we highly recommend that the athletes consider the extra packages to develop to their fullest potential.

Our U14 program is a great program for skill development at a critical age in the Long-Term Athlete Development plan. While this is mainly a race program, this group will spend a great amount of time developing all-round skills as a group. From all mountain shredding to ski cross (SX) start pulls and an initiation to speed skills, this is a great program for serious 12-13 year old skiers. The add on package allows the family to choose a program that will fit their lifestyle and the needs of the athlete. We recommend all athletes in this program to ski at least 75 days.

This is a great program for the U16 athletes to be competitive in Western Canada while continuing to develop skills. We will once again focus our training around the Bow Valley and COP. We will schedule training blocks in conjunction with the academic schedule. The general focus will remain on training high volume in the morning sessions and utilize the Lake Louise playground in the afternoon sessions to develop our all mountain skills. The program is flexible to allow athletes to continue to participate in other area of interest (school activities, other sports, all mountain comps, etc.)

FIS
This program is new to the Lake Louise Ski Club. The purpose is to allow the graduating U16 athletes, that are not looking to join a full FIS program in the Bow Valley, a chance to pursue their development as a ski racer while having some flexibility with school and other interests. This program will run in parallel to our U16 program for the prep season and will be individualized during the competitive season. Athletes will have the chance to race in open races and local FIS races. We will look at the possibility of all mountain competitions and SX races if there’s an interest from the group.
This is a serious program for the athletes that are looking for an alternative to typical FIS programs. The focus will remain on skill development and progression as an athlete instead of multiple race starts. The race schedule will be built around the proper progression for the athletes while keeping in mind education and budget.
