Program Details
​
The Mavericks Team is calling all skiing rippers ages 5 to 6 to join us for an epic season in 2024 - 25!
​
The Mavericks are the next generation of rippers. Athletes will learn the fundamentals of all mountain skiing and learn the basics of ski racing. They’ll have a ton of fun with their primary coach each week to progress and learn at any pace.
​
The goal of the Mavericks Team is to teach all athletes solid fundamentals by passing off certain skills to move onto the Competition Team when they are ready.
​

​
What type and quality of gear your athlete has will play a huge part in their progress on the team. Poor fitting and improper gear will be a waste of your time and our time as coaches. We cannot teach proper skiing skills to athletes on improper equipment.
Gear up for success!
​
We have been doing this a long time and can tell you 100% of the time, when you buy improper gear, you end up paying more down the road.​
