On-Snow Objectives:
Being a weekend programme, the main objective is spend as much time on snow as possible each day. At this level we are introducing athletes to ski racing which involves establishing a technical skiing base, safely challenging abilities, exploring the mountain, learning race rules and of course attend some races in the North Island.
Off-Snow Objectives:
To create an awareness of fitness and how it relates to ski racing. Enhance skills using tools like video. Develop teamwork and fun activity. Off snow activities are primarily weather driven.
