SNOWSTAR is for children who are just starting alpine skiing and would like to acquire advanced skills and perhaps to progress to alpine ski racing one day. This is a one day a week program which focuses on continuing the FUNdamentals of skiing and equips children with overall movement skills, introducing technical skill through varied terrain in a fun, positive environment. To join this level children need a basic skiing ability to be able to ski a green run and load a chairlift themselves . The children are grouped according to skill level on the first day, and ski with the same group and coach throughout the season.

SNOWSTAR+ is a more advanced program for 8-11 year olds who truly love to ski and are interested in racing. SNOWSTAR+ is the next step after the SNOWSTAR program as it adds an additional evening training session for those who want to ski more. This program is designed for the multi-sport child who has other commitments during the weekends. SNOWSTAR+ introduces children to competitiveness in a fun environment and basic ski courses to help develop technique. It also enables them to become more confident skiing all mountain terrain by doing moguls, jumps, powder and steeps.

The Nancy Greene Ski League is a nation wide program. This program has several stages as your child progresses and follows the Husky Snow Stars manual which provides goals and certificates to award achievements and track progress. Every child may not aspire to become a ski racer; however the NGSL is one of the best ways to learn to ski well with peers and a qualified coach, and is a fun and fast way for kids to progress into technically good skiers. Races are optional throughout the season; however races are a great way to develop friendships in a fun environment while demonstrating new skills. For more info about the nation wide program, please see www.nancygreeneskileague.com
