U12 Race Program

Our U12 ski racing programs place a strong emphasis on the development of advanced free skiing skills and entry-level alpine ski racing tactics. Participants will have the opportunity to join one of our U12 One-Day Program (non-travelling) teams or join our U12 Two-Day Program and Extended Program (traveling) teams. The program incorporates race training and skill development programs designed by Alpine Canada Alpine (ACA) and NCCP, ensuring a progressive and comprehensive training experience. Young ski racers in our program benefit from a fun and safe environment that fosters team building, athlete-focused skill development, and the introduction to tactical development.

Upon registering for the Blue Mountain Jozo Weider Race Program, participants will be required to complete registration and sign a waiver with Alpine Ontario (AOA). Additionally, the ACA/AOA fee must be paid in order to compete in races within the province of Ontario.

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 U12 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.

The U12 SOD Program runs on both Saturdays and Sundays, prioritizing skill development within a team format. Building upon the technical and tactical development themes introduced in the younger age divisions, our program maintains a strong focus on fostering strong fundamental free skiing skills and entry-level racing tactics.

Participants in this program will have the opportunity to be placed on one of the traveling teams for the season, providing valuable experiences and opportunities for growth.

The U12 Extended Program, operating from Friday to Sunday, offers an exceptional opportunity for individuals seeking significant progress on the snow this season with consistent and advanced coaches. Serving as an introduction to performance training, this program provides extended time on the slopes, allowing for comprehensive skill development.

Athletes in this program will have the opportunity to join one of the traveling teams and may choose to participate in invitational races throughout the escarpment region. Early season training camps are encouraged for athletes in this program, making it an ideal pathway for those planning to pursue the OCUP route.
