ALL ABOUT U8
The U8 Program is for 6 and 7 year olds who LOVE to ski! The ones you have to drag off the hill at the end of the day because they can't get enough. You're constantly reminding them to TURN and stop going straight down the hill as fast as they can! Sound familiar?
​
In this 38+ day program, we train 2 days per week with optional xmas & spring training camps. The program is a balance of skill drills, gate training, obstacles courses, moguls, halfpipe, jumps, trees, powder - anything and everything to fulfill these little rippers' love of skiing.
​
CWASC follows Alpine Canada Alpin's Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) model for every age group. The emphasis is on building ski skills, making friends, and creating little ski junkies who can't wait to get back on the hill.
