If your six-year-old child is having fun skiing or snowboarding, can ski or ride Golden Peak and get on and off the chair by themselves, or has fundamental Nordic skiing skills, it may be the right time for them to join Ski & Snowboard Club Vail (SSCV). The lessons your child will learn both on and off the hill through the vehicle of a competitive snow sport can create life-changing opportunities.

This past Sunday’s Head Rebel Youth Ski League Kombi event hosted by Ski & Snowboard Club Vail provided tons of fun for alpine racers ranging in age from 8 through 15.

One of Ski & Snowboard Club Vail’s (SSCV) key initiatives over my time with the organization has been providing opportunities for children to fulfill their snow sports dreams regardless of financial means. In the past nine years over $1.3 million in financial aid has been awarded to SSCV athletes. In the current season SSCV will award over $230,000 in financial aid to more than 120 youngsters covering up to 75% of SSCV program fees, more than a tenfold increase in financial aid from the $20,000 awarded annually in the recent past.
