U14 Race
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.

U16 Race
This program remains very similar to our current U16 program. 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 to train 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 also flexible to allow athletes to continue to participate in other area of interest (school activities, other sports, all mountain comps, etc.)

U19 Race
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 to allow the participants to race the appropriate races. Athletes will have the chance to race in open races, local FIS races. We will look at the possibility of All Mountain comps and SX races.
