There’s still time to register for Ski & Snowboard Club Vail’s part-time programs. SSCV offers an array of program options for developing athletes across all five of our program disciplines: alpine, freeski, moguls, Nordic and snowboard. Not sure? We’ve got a program for that, too.

Future Stars

The Future Stars program progressively develops the skiing skills of children ages 6-9 in a safe, fun and challenging environment on Vail Mountain. On-snow technical training and participation in the Steadman Clinic Vail Cup are the basis of this program. The goal at this age is to open the possibilities by exposing the athletes to all three of the skiing disciplines (alpine, freeski and freestyle). MORE INFO

Rookie Team

The Rookie Team program, part of our freeski department, is designed to provide young athletes with an introduction to the park & pipe and/or all-mountain freeskiing. Coaches will focus on a variety of skiing skills. First is the fundamentals of skiing through drills and carving skills in the mornings. Then we will head out to tackle the whole mountain for skiing or delve into the Park & Pipe environment, depending on the group dynamics. MORE INFO

Bumps & Jumps

Bumps and Jumps program offers Saturday sessions designed to provide younger athletes with an introduction to freestyle mogul skiing and competition. Training takes place all over Vail Mountain, on the Black Forest course and in the terrain park. Athletes will have the opportunity to compete in Vail Cup events. MORE INFO

Mini Shred

Snowboard’s Mini Shred program is designed to provide young athletes with an introduction to the park & pipe and all-mountain riding. Coaches will focus on a variety of skills. When inside the park & pipe areas, coaches emphasize proper park technique, proper progressions, making smart choices, etiquette and safety. When outside the park and on the whole mountain, coaches focus on improving each athlete’s skills, teamwork, how to move as a group and a general awareness of their surroundings. MORE INFO

Alpine

There is still limited availability in YSL, U10 Age Class, and U12 Part Time. YSL is an introduction to ski racing, providing training in fundamentals and a basic understanding of the rules of the sport. The U10 Age Class program seeks to build a strong foundation of fundamentals and passion for ski racing in children age nine and younger. The U12 Part Time program is for athletes born in 2006-2007 who want to participate in an aggressive racing program and are able to train Friday afternoons and all day Saturdays and Sundays throughout the season. MORE INFO
