Program Details

Assessment

These are NOT BEGINNER PROGRAMS. 

There will be a skiing assessment of each new athlete to ensure appropriate program placement. 

Athletes not possessing minimal skiing skills for the program will be asked to move to the more appropriate developmental ski program. For example—Shredders who do not meet the minimum skill requirements will be moved to Rippers.

Those who cannot be accommodated with a program will be refunded for the cost of the program. 

AGE Requirements

Your child must meet the minimum age requirement for each program to participate.

Program’s age parameters are not flexible— zero exceptions.

Ex. 6-year-olds are not allowed in Shredders 

Location & lifts

All ski team programs start and end on the Winter’s Creek Lodge side—Zephyr Express Lift use is mandatory. 

All athletes must be able to access and ride all chairlifts at Mt. Rose – Ski Tahoe with minimal assistance from lift attendants or other chairlift riders. 

Athletes will ride with the safety bar down on all chairlifts. 

General policy

Parents / Winters Creek Lodge

Dining and short-term use of the Winters Creek Lodge is welcomed by all our guests (including Ski Team Parents) as the facility is intended to operate on the idea of flipping seats to accommodate multiple guests over a given period. This turnover of seats is especially key on “weather days” when more guests are looking for a quick break from the cold. 

Ski Team Parents are asked to not occupy seats inside the Winters Creek Lodge for extended periods.
