2020 Junior Development Program
What is Junior Development? This is a term commonly used in the racing industry to describe youth programs that are designed to take developing skiers to greater levels. Participants receive instruction on racing, moguls, and working on steeper terrain according to their individual skill level. Some programs travel but we do not. We keep it affordable and fun by keeping things close to home. Students demonstrate their skills by competing in the Sunday Race Series.
This six-week Junior Development racing program will begin the second week of January and you can choose Mt. Holly or Pine Knob. This is our base level of commitment for skiers of all abilities and race experience. It is intended for ages 6 through middle school - Grades K - 8. Our popular program includes all Sunday Morning Race Series and participants receive a Thunderbolt T-shirt.
This program begins on January 8, January 9, or January 11 depending on your registration preferences:
MT. HOLLY OPTIONS
6 sessions / once per week $350
12 sessions / twice per week $450
PINE KNOB OPTIONS
6 sessions / once per week $350
12 sessions / twice per week $450
18 sessions / three times week $550
Our successful and most popular program will remain the same plus all Sunday Morning Race Series are included in the price along with a Thunderbolt T-shirt.
Racers will be grouped by age, ski ability and race experience. We will work on free skiing drills each week for 45 minutes and then be in the gates using gate drills and full courses. We will start with Giant Slalom (larger turns) on week one and alternate between slalom (short turns) and giant slalom.
