Our Purpose
Athletic participation helps students grow, learn, and have fun while building their personal, physical, and intellectual skills. We value the lessons it teaches—pursuing excellence through personal growth and teamwork, demonstrating integrity on and off the hill, following rules, showing leadership, and practicing sportsmanship through respect, humility in victory, and grace in defeat.

Programs & Timeline
Learn to Train
Athletes ages 10–13 grow their skills, confidence, and love for alpine skiing through progressive training, exciting races, and the camaraderie of teammates and coaches. Building on strong fundamentals, they log plenty of skiing miles, focus on learning technique in gate training, and enjoy the fun, friendships, and all-mountain adventures that prepare them for the next level of competition.
Train to Compete
Athletes ages 12–21 take their racing to the next level with programs that build advanced technical skills, strength, and race strategy while competing in high-level regional, national, and international events. From Jr IMC to IMC and FIS, these teams train multiple days per week, combine on-snow and dryland conditioning, and gain valuable experience in gates, all-mountain skiing, and competition. With dedicated coaching, targeted race calendars, and the camaraderie of teammates, athletes develop the performance, resilience, and confidence to reach their highest potential in alpine skiing.
Active for Life
For athletes 20+, Masters programming keeps athletes engaged in their sport beyond their competitive peak, providing opportunities to train, race, and enjoy skiing for a lifetime. Masters athletes focus on skill development, fitness, and community, whether they’re new to racing or seasoned veterans.
