Pre-Racing Development Program

The Development Program is designed for younger skiers (ages 6-9 birth years 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005) with at least 3 years of skiing experience, who can ski all terrain at the Dartmouth Skiway, are ready to ski with poles and can ride the chairlift unassisted. The focus of the program is on improvement through increased skiing time as well as using an introduction to gates and/or brushes to reinforce skills and to have fun. This year will also include a pre-season dry land fun day, two optional race days and a day at Burke. Our desire is to create a safe experience from which each child will develop an everlasting love of the sport whether or not they choose to pursue competitive racing. This is not a ski school program, but one for experienced little skiers.  Parent volunteers are required at one home race during the season ($200 security deposit is required). Registration is limited!
