Junior Racing
Elk Mountain’s Junior Racing is geared to young skiers age 8 to 19 who can comfortably ski the entire mountain including all black diamond trails. All participants will be expected to take part in all aspects of race training. Offered as a full season program, this program allows the participants to ski/train with the same coaches over the duration of the program. This format assures continuity and allows progress to be monitored closely. Training is available at both the recreational and competitive levels. The program participants have additional gate training available on scheduled nights. In addition to skiing skills development, agility drills, racing techniques and course tactics, participants will learn ski tuning, equipment maintenance and take part in various skiing activities. Video sessions with critique by the coaches will be integrated into the training. 8:30 a.m. start; 12/31/24 will be a half day. Program runs 12/26/24 through 3/2/25.

Cruisers
Elk Mountain Cruisers is a program geared to skiers 8-12. It is offered as a Christmas Camp or a Weekend Program. Children who can comfortably ski blue square trails can enjoy a challenging ski experience, improve their technique and build self-confidence. Participants are required to use ski poles for this program. Children must be able to get on and ride all of the Elk Mountain chair lifts with other children. Three and a half hours of supervised skiing and coaching/instruction daily promotes learning in an exciting and unhurried environment. Skiing with the same instructors the entire season on a variety of trails allows children to develop their skiing skills while making new friends who share their same interest in skiing.
