Development 10-13

Development 10-13

The Development Team's goal is to help young skiers develop strong fundamental skills, learn to be part of a team, and gain joy and passion for skiing in a fun and challenging team environment. Our experienced coaches focus on progressive skill acquisition, knowledge of the skier’s responsibility code and mountain safety, respect for the mountain, and having fun.

Team fees DO NOT include a season pass. Purchase of the Ikon Pass is required.

The Development 10-13 Team is for skiers who wish to explore racing, a blend of racing and all-mountain skill development, or want to race semi-competitively. The team serves as a stepping stone to the Club U14|U16|U18 Team or Big Mountain. Athletes have the chance to compete in the Tahoe Race Series, but the focus is on gate training, freeskiing, and skills development.

Athletes can expect to increase their knowledge in many areas, including general alpine racing U10 – World Cup, our Olympic legacy and history, equipment care, introduction to tuning, technique and tactics, technical fundamentals, activation and warmup, intro to nutrition, alpine racing protocol and etiquette, and all-mountain safety.
