U12 Weekly Update - Apr 6th

Posted by Jack Evans on Apr 06 2022 at 04:31PM PDT in 2021-2022

Hello U12!

This week we will be completing our year end skill assessments. What are the skill assessments you ask? This is when coaches take kids through a series of 5 exercises that challenge their skiing skill level. These same exercises are assessed every year through all age groups at the ski club and give kids an opportunity to measure their progression of the years.

We will also hold and indoor session through the day on Sunday for kids to complete their own action cards. What are action cards you ask? These are forms given to kids to evaluate their own skiing, make goals, test their skiing IQ, and discover how they become better ski racers.

Things of note:
• U12 Parents VS Racers in Head-to-Head Dual – April 17th This will be a fun event and great opportunity for parents to gain some perspective on what it feels like to ski race. Courses will be set up on flat sections of Ptarmigan and Snowboarders are welcome!
• Spring Training Dates are now up. Please note that 2nd yrs will move up to U14 from May onwards. Dates will be the same.
U12 May Camps: Three 4-day camps on Blackcomb. Thursday to Sundays starting May 5th up until May 22nd
