Race Development
The Race Development Program skis all day (9:00 am - 2:30 pm) with a coach. The Race Development Program is a NASTAR based race program. All athletes are required to have successfully completed the Development Program for at least one year. The Development Race Program will meet for 10 Saturdays starting January 5, 2013. The athlete will develop a NASTAR race profile of results and work towards qualifying for the NASTAR Finals in March. The program will strive to develop fundamental skiing and racing skills. Mount Sunapee and USSA require that all athletes wear helmets. 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.
