The Solitude Race Team is a comprehensive race training program for skiers ages 6 through 16+. Our skilled roster of professional coaches are certified under U.S. Ski & Snowboard and PSIA, and each is dedicated to fostering well-rounded athletes. Race Team staff emphasize skill development and gate training to enhance the fundamentals and skills of high-performance skiing while helping athletes understand and display sportsmanship, teamwork, and mountain etiquette. Teams are organized in age-based groups, U8 to U16+, and participate in races from Youth Ski League up to U16 Championships. The U.S. Ski & Snowboard Alpine Training System and SkillsQuest are key parts of our coaching regimen.
All participants must be able to ski intermediate (blue) terrain with skidded parallel turns and pole plants. Skills will be assessed in early December.
Participants are expected to compete in U.S. Ski & Snowboard competitions in the region and are required to provide their own travel to competitions. On competition days, Solitude coaches will meet athletes and parents at the race venue. Some competitions will require additional fees, which will be billed separately. A U.S. Ski & Snowboard membership is also required and is available for purchase on their website.
A minimum of two training sessions per week is recommended (one weekend day, plus an additional weekend day, weekday, or weeknight). Need help choosing the best sessions for your skier? Email us at smrskischool@solitudemountain.com.
Parking is included for all dates of Team Solitude programs that take place at Solitude. A parking permit that allows you to park on your training days will be given to you on the day of your first session. No reservation is required when using your permit.
