Ages 5-9

Our program for ages 5-9 is a foundational ski and ride program with training primarily on Saturday and Sunday during the winter, with additional weekdays during holiday breaks. The training focuses on the foundational techniques and skills needed to become an expert skier or rider. This program builds the fundamental skills athletes need to move into a more specialized program in Alpine, Backcountry, Freeride, or Freeski as they grow and mature.

Our coaches create a fun environment for their teams and work to develop a love of the outdoors and winter sports while modeling how to approach challenging situations with grit, grace, and courage, the core characteristics of SBA athletes.

These programs follow the guidelines of the U.S. Ski & Snowboard athlete development model and train on Saturday and Sunday during the winter season, with additional weekdays during holiday breaks. Athletes will focus on skier safety, technical ability, balance, and coordination with an emphasis on adventure and mileage. Teams are formed based on age classification (U8, U10) and ability.
