The Competitive (aka Comp) program is for athletes progressing with their alpine skiing and transitioning to a more comprehensive training and racing schedule. Fall dryland training combines games, strength, agility, balance, coordination, and endurance. On-snow practice, 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. Coaches will present a general training plan for the group and customize some aspects to meet individual needs.

We maintain a balance between having fun, building a positive team environment, and advancing our skiing. We want you to love skiing as much as we do.

Local schools have been very accommodating to early dismissals for mid-week afternoon on-snow sessions and conditioning as long as the athlete is in good academic standing. For those athletes committing to early releases, balancing academics and athletics with good time management skills is a must.

U14 = ages 12 & 13

Competitions primarily take place throughout the Northern Division (Montana and Terry Peak, S.D., and Casper, WY). Competitions are scheduled under U.S. Ski and Snowboard. How much you travel and/or race is up to you and is best discussed with your coach.
