Ski & Snowboard Club Vail offers an array of part-time programs for athletes at a variety of levels. Part-time programs take place between one and three days per week, mostly on the weekends. These programs are designed to develop skills in aspiring athletes across all snowsport disciplines, as well as cycling, and hopefully prepare them for advancement into a full-time program offering.
For those athletes with the athletic skill and commitment to take their training to a higher level, we offer full-time programming. Our full-time programs provide athletes the opportunity to further strengthen their physical and mental abilities through excellent coaching, increased time on snow, and the support of a competitive peer group.
