The White Pass U14 Alpine Team is an exciting and challenging program designed for young skiers who are ready to sharpen their skills, build confidence, and experience the thrill of competitive ski racing.

This program provides the perfect blend of coaching and competition, giving participants the tools they need to succeed on the mountain and in the racecourse.

Program Highlights:

  • Targeted Skill Development: Each session is designed to enhance core skiing skills, from carving and balance to speed control and race strategy. Skiers will work on technical aspects like body positioning, gate running, and efficient turns while exploring the mountain in free skiing sessions to develop all-around skiing abilities.

From these races, top athletes will be selected to participate in the prestigious U14 Western Region Championships, providing a fantastic opportunity for further development and competition on a bigger stage.

In addition to the qualifying races, athletes will also compete in two Evergreen Cup races, giving them a total of five races throughout the season. These events offer a chance to gain valuable race experience and practice handling competitive environments with a supportive team atmosphere.
