Programs
Rippers
AGES 6-9
Rippers is our half-day Ski Team program, and is now offering an afternoon training program option as an alternative to our morning program option. The Rippers program focuses on skiers who are in the ‘developing intermediate’ ability range.
Rippers is a great option for younger athletes who are comfortable yet growing skiers and offers the flexibility of a half-day program as an alternative to our full-day programs (Shredders, All Mountain).
The Rippers ski team program is designed to develop intermediate skiing ability athletes looking for season-long coaching in a fun and safe environment.
Athletes in this program will work on developing their skiing skills through a structured and challenging weekly skills-based curriculum, learning fundamentals to increase proficiency and confidence. In addition to improving their skiing abilities and skills, athletes will learn on-mountain etiquette, build camaraderie, and cultivate an overall lifelong love for the sport.
The ideal candidate for this program is an athlete who can comfortably and proficiently ski all beginner trails (Green / Easier).
Ski Team programs do NOT include a season pass.
ShreddersAs
AGES 7-14
Shredders is a great option for skiers who are right in the ‘middle’ – not quite ready to hit the advanced terrain of steeps or bumps, but ready to move beyond the easier runs on the mountain.
Our Shredders program accommodates a wide range of skier abilities and is geared towards athletes who are excited about developing their skiing abilities and taking the next step towards skiing advanced terrain.
The ideal candidate for this program is an athlete who can ski parallel turns on intermediate trails (BLUE/ More Difficult) and some of the advanced runs (BLACK / Most Difficult).

AGES 9-16
All Mountain – Ski is a program for the emerging/developing serious skier, who wants to be able to ski the mountain from top to bottom, boundary to boundary, and everything in between.
