Our U12 athletes work to consolidate and refine basic ski skills while increasing the volume of training. U12 athletes participate in an extended season and have opportunities for Friday add-on training days. Athletes continue to race slalom (SL), giant slalom (GS), kinder kombi (KK) and are introduced to parallel events. Our U12 athletes also compete in the Alberta Alpine U12 Provincial Race Series.
