The Smugglers' Notch Ski & Snowboard Club offers entry level programs for skiers and riders ages 5-10. These programs emphasis the fun of snowsports, but also begin to build a base for young athletes who may soon consider moving their skills into a more competitive environment.
These programs (details below) begin immediately after Christmas. Sign-up will be held in Sept. 19 and again at our Ski & Snowboard Sale held Oct. 8-10 at the Champlain Valley Expo.
Prices range from $230-$300 (passes not included).
Some details:
Development ski team (ages 7-10)
This program aims to improve each child's free-skiing technique and develop the necessary skills to move into the J4, J5 and J6 racing programs or our alpine freestyle team. Skiing abilities improve rapidly through exposure to all-mountain free-skiing, terrain courses, GS and slalom drill courses. Children should be able to ride the Sterling lift, ski the upper mountain and be able to stop and turn. This program meets on Saturdays. Coaches for 2010 were Mike Loucy, Brian Picotte and Mark Bergin.
Ski Meister team (ages 5-7)
The next step up from the resort's award-winning Mighty Mite program, this weekend program is designed for children with some alpine experience, can stop, turn and ski intermediate trails. Children need current equipment and will have the option of competing in 2-4 events at the club. Coaches for 2010 were John Casavant and Pierre Heroux.
Ride Meister team (ages 6-10)
Much like the Ski Meister program, only for snowboarders, this is offer junior riders and fun and educational snowboarding experience. The main goal of this program is develop riders comfortable taking an intermediate trail from top to bottom. They'll begin exploring tree rides, mid-size jumps and entry level features. This program is coached by Emmet Manning.
