Dynamic Youth
2011
Over the last eight years, we have developed
a unique program for young skiers, ages 11 to 18. Geared for
strong, all-mountain skiers looking for a high performance alternative
to race training, our unique Dynamic Youth program is a fast-paced,
rewarding, and fun exploration of Crystal Mountain using
experiential learning to develop all mountain skiing skills.
The program is built around coaching young
skiers age 11-17 ( in age and skill appropriate groups) to improve their own abilities, to build their self-confidence,
and to hone their decision-making skills in all conditions,
as well as to instruct them on the safety necessary to ski and
access challenging terrain.
The Dynamic Youth program is run by a team of highly skilled and qualified instructors, all
of whom have a great deal of experience communicating with and
teaching to teenagers and pre-teens.
The program runs once a week for 7 weeks
and is group-based and experiential in outlook. Coaches guide
the skiers to learn from the situations and challenges they
come across, to help each other, and to make their own good
decisions as a result.
Skiers are put together by age and ability
in a 6 to 1 student to coach ratio. These groups are fast-moving
pods with lots of skiing and minimal “talking time.” Sometimes,
2 groups will work together as a combined team.
Based on the ability of the group, coaches
will cover as much terrain of Crystals off-piste and back country
as possible.
To qualify for this program your child must
be able to ski off the groomed at Crystal on black terrain in
different snow conditions.
Coaches include Jeff Barstow, Catherine Crim, Chris Perry, Petra Hilleberg,
Herb Cole and Emily Westphal. Multi-Weeks fill up very fast so please register
early and we will do our very best to find the right group for you.Click here
