Coaches follow the Alpine Canada ‘Snow Stars’ program – a seven-step skills progression program specifically designed for children of this age group.

All juvenile programs start the first week of September with dry-land physical training. On-snow training begins as soon as possible and takes place every Saturday and Sunday, as weLL as through Christmas and Spring Breaks. Training is also available on Mondays and Fridays, parents and school permitting.
