Mountain Division is a 7-week ski development program for children ages 6-13 who love to ski and are ready to continue building their all-mountain skills in a fun, supportive environment.
Participants are grouped with skiers of similar age and ability, creating a team atmosphere where friendships grow alongside skiing skills. Whether they are refining technique or exploring more challenging terrain, Mountain Division helps young skiers become stronger, more confident all-around skiers. Groups average 7-8 participants and are led by the same experienced coach throughout the season.
The program concludes with a Mountain Division Skills Festival, where participants have the opportunity to showcase the skills they have developed throughout the season in a fun slalom race with their friends and coaches.
For skiers who are primarily interested in racing and spending time in race courses, we encourage exploring our DSquad or Interclub programs.
