U16 - Ability

U16 Ability ProgramThe U16 ability program will offer athletes the option for weekend and weekday training on snow and through dryland. This program is for athletes who love skiing, the competitive nature of ski racing, and have a passion for learning new skill sets that will set them up for a lifetime of success.

• Full-time athletes will spend more time in gates, drill courses, race simulations, and freeskiing with opportunities for weekday training.
• Athletes participate in the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Rocky Mountain Division competitions, including the SYNC Cup series and Junior Championship events.
• Participation in the dryland program is encouraged in order to establish a base of fitness to help skiers minimize injury risk and ski their best, but those playing fall sports are encouraged to continue to do so and their dryland plan can be adapted.
• Athletes that participate in full-time programming set an excellent platform for continued success and transition into FIS and the U-18 ability program.
• This program trains on-snow most Saturdays and Sundays from 7:00am to 1:00pm with additional training for full time athletes Tuesday/Thursday afternoons, some Monday/Wednesday afternoons. Athletes are encouraged to paarticipate in Lights on Chute on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Training times/days vary throughout the season as we are periodizing with our race schedule.

• Ski Pass Information: Eldora Mountain is on the IKON pass, therefore the IKON pass is a great option since the majority of our training will take place at Eldora. The U-16 program races throughout Colorado, therefore it’s a good idea to look at the other bundled options as well.
