On-Snow Objectives:
Similar to the weekend development programme, these athletes are learning how to ski at a high level with a goal of competing in ski racing and freestyle events. The children in this programme are at an advantage with the mountain so close to school. This allows 3 mornings of skiing a week with school for the rest of the day. This will involve improving their technical skiing base, and tactical skills.
Academic Objectives:
This program is run in conjunction with the National Park School and Ohakune Primary. The school's provide term 3 curriculums up to year 8.
