This program enables young athletes, 10 and 11 years old, to develop their skills in a competitive environment.

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 when possible. 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. Our philosophy is athletes should participate in other areas of interest to develop their all round skills (school activities, multi sports, all mountain comps, etc.). Our yearly plan is based upon full participation in this program.

FIS
This program is designed to allow U19 athletes to pursue their development as a ski racer while having flexibility to balance school and other interests. This program will keep close attention to costs by training and racing locally, while still targeting opportunities that expose the athletes to the next level of high performance ski racing.
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 be exposed to all disciplines including speed, with a possibility of All Mountain competitions and SX races if there’s an interest from the group.
This is a competitive program for the athletes that are looking for an alternative to typical Bow Valley FIS programs. The emphasis will remain on skill development and progression instead of the number of race starts. It will take advantage of the wide selection of local events and training opportunities. Chosen races will consider the progression of the group as well as individual goals.

Intro to Coaching
This program is designed for the U16 and older athlete who wish to start their journey in the coaching world but still developing their technical skills as an athlete. This hybrid program will allow the athlete to train on a weekly basis with their peers while giving them a taste of coaching with the younger athletes in the Lake Louise Grizzlies or Lake Louise All Mountain Ski Clubs. We will create a personalized schedule and training plan for each individual that allows athletes to work with a coach mentor throughout the season.
Participation in our Intro to Coaching program will give athletes with access to Entry Level Coaching or CSIA Level 1 (age and schedule dependant), and will provide a flexible curriculum focused on leadership and coach development. This program will run in conjunction with our U16/ FIS weekend training days and will not include a racer card. COP and Friday training are available as add-ons.
Interested athletes should contact our Executive Director.
