Race Development
The Race Development Program skis all day (9:00 am - 2:30 pm) with a coach. The RaceDevelopment Program will meet for ten consecutive Saturdays starting on January 7, 2012, 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. This program has limited availability, so please sign up early. All participants will be sent a schedule of planned activities. Rental equipment will be the responsibility of the individual family. Mount Sunapee and USSA require that all athletes wear helmets with hard earflaps. All participants will be sent a schedule of planned activities.
Coaches are Andy Purdy and Eric Von Huepler
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.
