U10 is our introductory racing program. The focus is still heavily on free skiing and skill development, while starting with small increments of structured technical gate training. The U10 Teams will ski most of the mountain, be introduced to steeps, moguls, powder, trees, jumps and Giant Slalom.
All athletes must be comfortable skiing all intermediate and some expert terrain.
