Integrated Racing Training Programs for Children & Youth (8-15yrs) at Silver Star
The Integrated Racing Program for children and youth is very special and has limited spaces available. As the name suggests, this training is integrated into the training of local Canadian ski racers ... it's serious and it's serious fun too!
Conducted by Head Coach Wade Christie, with the Silver Star Mountain Race Club, the training is scheduled three (3) days a week, with these being full days dedicated to GS and Slalom training. On weekends the training integration occurs as the athletes can join the Canadian children in training, providing a wonderful opportunity for direct comparison of skills and performance, while benefiting from this mixed training environment.
Starting at 8:30 each morning, the kids meet at the race club for a morning briefing and then it's onto the mountain for a few warm-up runs. Then it's right into the gates where all racers are observed and then critiqued by Wade Christie. After the morning session it is in for lunch and to view the video sessions from the morning before heading back out.
Technical free skiing is also a key element of race training so everyone gets to enjoy plenty of that too...particularly on fresh powder days which makes for poor gate training conditions, but amazing free skiing conditions. One more perk of the Integrated Program is that guest racers may have the opportunity to travel to and enter in regional Western Canadian ski races (conditions apply).
