Programs · 2026/27
Your athlete trains where they’ll develop fastest.
Four groups from U8 to U14+. Placement is by skill, strength and maturity rather than strictly by birth year, so the tier names below describe who is typically in each group, not a rule. Age eligibility is set as of January 1, 2027.
The four groups
Every group trains at Utah Olympic Park, Woodward Park City and Solitude and races in the Intermountain Division.
Every group keeps the 6:1 athlete-to-coach ratio and is coached by senior staff. Athletes are assigned to age-specific groups but can move between technical groups based on need; Red Group athletes may be invited to train up. Fees are published in full so families can compare directly.

Which group fits your skier? Send us thirty seconds of video.
Free skiing on a groomed run is enough; a race run is a bonus. A coach will reply with a straight answer on fit, which group makes sense, and whether there is room. Groups are small on purpose, so spots are limited.
