Which Team is Right for Your Youth?
development team
The Development Team is for skiers ages 10–18 who are ready to move beyond beginner skills and take on more technical skiing—with the option to explore racing. While racing isn’t required, athletes can choose to participate in local and regional competitions (additional travel costs may apply).
This program is a great fit for junior skiers whose abilities are beyond the Nordic Kids level and who want to keep building their skills in a fun, supportive environment. Younger skiers may be assessed for early placement if they’ve outgrown Nordic Kids.
