Development (ages 8-14)
The Development Program skis all day (9:00 am - 2:30 pm) with a coach. The Development Program will meet for 10 consecutive Saturdays starting on January 5, 2013, and will strive to provide an all-mountain experience. The program will focus on fun and all-around skiing skills with less competitive emphasis. The group will experience various disciplines including snowboarding, moguls, racing and snowblades. The coaches will split the groups based on age and ability. The children are required to have strong skiing skills and be able to ski Blue trails easily. All participants will be sent a schedule of planned activities. Rental equipment is the responsibility of the individual family. Mount Sunapee and USSA require that all athletes wear helmets with hard earflaps.

The Program Coordinator reserves the right to refund the fee if the athlete’s skills are not strong enough.
No volunteer commitment is required for the development program, but volunteer help is always encouraged. There is no requirement for a USSA or NHARA membership because racing will be limited to NASTAR.
