Alpine U14 Full-Time Team | YOB 2010-2011

This program is designed to build racing skills through a well-planned training progression, including a combination of fundamental drill work, games, gate training, race simulation, aggressive freeskiing on Vail and Beaver Creek mountains and racing. Through strong, simple coaching of the basic fundamentals our U14s are being well prepared for future U16/FIS racing as well as performing at the top of their age group.

Informational meetings will be conducted prior to the first Golden Peak training day for parents to meet staff, be introduced to the training and race calendar, and understand details of their child’s program.

A USSA U14 competitor membership will be required for U14s to race. This will allow them to enter RMD races.
