Development Program
Our 14-week season long program is for skiers and riders ages 6 through 18 who can ski/ride the majority of terrain at Mount Snow, and focuses on developing sound skills and the technical aspects of snowboarding, all mountain skiing & freestyle skiing. Participants are matched with a coach based on their area of interest and their ability level. One coach oversees a group of kids whose skills and abilities complement each other. This coach works with them on a weekly basis, helping them to become proficient in the use of Mount Snow’s terrain features and encouraging the development of their skills. The Development Program provides the personalized attention of working with the same coach each session (in instances when the coach cannot make a weekend we have substitute coaches to fill in) and the group confidence of learning with familiar faces. The program is also an environment in which the participants are able to have fun and form lasting friendships.
The Program runs every weekend December 17th, 2011 until March 25th, 2012, from 8:30 a.m. until 12:45 p.m. as well as the additional dates of 12/26 – 31/2011. Please note the program does not run 12/24-25/2011 or 1/1/2012.
