Our programmes are customised to meet your every need for both you and your athlete!
If you're in a programme for 8 or more weeks, your season-long coach will work with you to achieve your goals for the season.
Depending on each athlete’s age, skill level and needs, we offer part-time and full time ski race programmes where you can continue to develop your technical free skiing and racing skills.
Group selections are based on an assessment of basic skill, race experience and technical skiing ability.
