Ages 7-13

This program is designed to introduce skiers to the competitive side of the sport.

The Junior Development Program is geared to intermediate skiers who have completed Snow School Level 3 and have an interest to explore the racing environment. Participants should be comfortable skiing on various types of terrain, steepness and speeds. Click here to view the entry level skiing ability for this program

Coaches work with young skiers in a variety of fun training environments to improve fundamental skiing technique and promote confidence, self-esteem and love of skiing.

Skiers will be introduced to racing by preparing for and participating in 2 competitive skills events that combine both open slalom and obstacle elements in a fun environment.

VOLUNTEERING:

All MHRC members are asked to volunteer a number of hours at club events and support activities in the clubhouse.

When registering for a program, you will need to complete the volunteer form and follow the instructions on the registration page prior to your participation in any MHRC program; including dryland training. The volunteer payments will be processed at the end of the season if the required volunteer hours are not logged with MHRC.

For parents who are new to the team, MHRC is a volunteer-driven not-for-profit organization. Volunteering is a great way to get involved in your athlete’s development and to get to know other parents. Without volunteers we would not be able to run our club or host events. No experience is necessary and you don’t even need to ski. We will provide training during the season and mentorship for all those eager to learn.
