U10 Race Program

Our U10 Ski Race Program immerses young athletes in an exciting race experience. Led by dedicated coaches, the program offers a variety of training opportunities, including terrain and stubby courses, to develop their skills in navigating gates. Each coaching day is tailored to focus on individual athlete skill development and different aspects of ski racing such as technical free-skiing or mastering giant slalom (GS) and slalom (SL) courses. Participants will acquire and consolidate the skills that prepare them for the thrilling downhill race experience. With a team-oriented environment and enthusiastic coaching staff, this program establishes a strong foundation for the growth of skiers and ski racers, ensuring an engaging and enjoyable journey.

The U10 Ski Race Program runs at Blue Mountain and requires no travel to other clubs. We do have an interclub race between Jozo Weider and Toronto Ski Club, which is called the Canning Cup.

Requirements: To participate in the program, individuals must have the ability to independently ride the chair lift and demonstrate controlled skiing on intermediate slopes (blue terrain) while using poles and maintaining a parallel stance.

Participants have the flexibility to choose the Saturday or Sunday program, allowing them to learn in a team setting and make significant progress in just one day. The U10 racers will spend the majority of their time focusing on skill development through drills, games, and team activities. The remaining time is split between training courses, as well as races.

Fully optimize your weekends on the snow! The Two-Day Program runs on both Saturdays and Sundays and is focused on individual athlete skill development within a team format. There is a greater focus on developing balance over the edges and creating steering efforts with the lower body, as well as introducing the competitive and team aspects of the sport.

The Extended Program, spanning from Friday to Sunday, offers an ideal opportunity for those aiming to make significant progress on the snow this season. With its extended duration, the U10 Extended Program serves as an introduction to performance training. Participants in this program benefit from increased time on the snow, providing ample opportunities for comprehensive skill development, as well as enhanced gate and race day training experiences. This extended program allows athletes to fully immerse themselves in their training and progress in their skiing and racing abilities.
