The U16 Program is an extension of the technical and tactical progression athletes work through in previous seasons, emphasizing balance, edging, and body position. Groups split their time between all-mountain skiing, taking advantage of the world class terrain at Sugarbush Resort, technical drills, gate training, and, as always, having fun!
