Alpine Registration

AVSC offers a broad range of Alpine Programs from learn-to-race to highly-competitive programs. Regardless of commitment level, we engage and challenge our athletes. Our goals are to push technical and tactical abilities and to teach the values of a team while providing an enjoyable experience.

Athletes must be able to ride lifts alone and be responsible for meeting coaches independently at designated time.

Program fees do not include season passes, competition travel costs, or cost for USSA and FIS registration.

For more information, contact William Hadden, Alpine Director at whadden@teamavsc.org.

ALPINE RACE PROGRAMS

Our Race Programs are designed for competitive athletes. Ski racing is their passion. They want the highest level of opportunity – working with the most experienced coaches, having the most hands-on equipment recommendations, travelling to the highest level of competition for their age group. They want to give skiing their all; they are fully committed and excited to invest a significant amount of time and energy year-round in the pursuit to becoming the very best Alpine skier that they can be! Looking for a lower level of commitment? Check out our Development Programs below!

U8 RACE (BIRTH YEAR 2019-2020)

Schedule: December 5 – April 4.
- 36 days on snow
Overview: Research shows that early, diverse exposure to movement and environments—not early specialization—is key to long-term athletic success. This emphasizes exploration during key developmental years, helping young skiers build adaptability, creativity, and a lasting love for sport. The U8 Race program at AVSC is built on this principle, offering U8 athletes the opportunity to log significant time on snow while creating dedicated times to experience other teams and disciplines. New: Leveraging this research, we encourage families considering the U8 Alpine program to additionally sign up their child for one day of Bill Koch Nordic, which is a perfect complementary program to support your little ‘Mountain Explorer’. Athletes who participate in both Alpine and Nordic programming will spend more time on snow sampling both sports.

ALPINE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS

Our Development Programs are designed for athletes who are focused on progressing in their sport, getting outside, and having fun. They are enthusiastic skiers who want to develop ski racing and all-mountain skills while enjoying the camaraderie of a team. While they’re passionate skiers, they want to enjoy summers and holiday breaks free of training (dryland, Holiday Camps are not included in program fees for Development Programs). While they may be interested in competing at a local level, they’re not looking to travel far afield or pursue high-level competition. Looking for a program with a higher level of commitment? Check out our Race Programs above.
