The U10+ program is only for those athletes who are born in 2013 and is designed as a preparatory program for U12 where our coaches help the athletes transition from the Skier Essential phase into the Learn to Train phase. Our U10+ athletes continue to refine their skier essential skills while being introduced to basic, event specific skills. Athletes race slalom (SL), giant slalom (GS) and kinder kombi (KK).
