U12 Race
This program enables young athletes, 10 and 11 years old, to develop their skills in a competitive environment. These athletes will have a chance to participate in club races, provincial races, try a ski cross race and an all mountain competition (schedule permitting). A typical day of training will consist of technical free skiing or gate training in the morning and free-skiing the great terrain at the Lake Louise Ski Resort 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) environments and an initiation to speed skills, this is a great program for serious 12-13 year old skiers. The add on packages allow the family to choose a program that will fit their lifestyle and the needs of the athlete.

FIS
Skiing at the FIS level doesn’t have to be crazy expensive and include travel around the world. This program is designed to allow the U19 athletes 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 when possible for the prep season and will be individualized during the competitive season. Athletes will have the chance to race in 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.
