The Development Team introduces Freestyle skiers AND Big Mountain skiers to the competitive environment.  Fall Dryland sessions are recommended with this program to prepare athletes for training on snow 2 days per week and 2-5 competitions per season. Water ramp and Air Bag training is a requirement to acquire air skills starting at this stage. 

Dev Team is for athletes who have chosen freestyle  (moguls, slopestyle, big air) &/or freeskiing (big mountain) as one of their top sports. These athletes are ready to compete in BC Super Youth and/or IFSA Jr. Freeski events.  Generally skiers are ages 11-13 and commit at least two days per weekend + camps during the school breaks to their training and competitions.  This team has a max group size of 16 athletes.
