ALPINE PROGRAMS

 
BSF Alpine programs are available for skiers of all ages and abilities!

 Youth Ski League is an 8-week program designed for entry and intermediate level skiers. YSLT provides an introduction to the sport of skiing and the fundamentals of ski racing. The program starts in early January.

The J-Fast Team is for the young athlete just beginning a racing career.  This program is designed for advanced skiers who have previously participated in BSF YSL or a comparable program for at least one year. J-Fast places its emphasis on developing race techniques by skiing difficult terrain and conditions and working on drills in and out of gates.

BSF Alpine Development Team (Devo) is for athletes who are driven to further their racing careers. This program provides physical training starting in the fall to help prevent injuries and to allow for optimum performance.  On snow training, which begins as soon as resorts are open, combines free skiing, drills, and gates.  Technique (how to ski) and tactics (where to ski) are taught in tandem.

Depending on age and ability, Development and J-Fast team members have the opportunity to compete in USSA Northern Division races held at Bridger Bowl and other ski areas located across Montana and Wyoming. YSL racers who are ready to move up to the next level will also be invited to compete in USSA races upon recommendation by the Alpine YSL Director.
