This weekend program introduces young skiers (U8/U10) to alpine racing.
Jiminy’s Interclub program U8/U10/U12 is designed for our U12 (ages 6 -11) racers that are not yet ready to participate in the Tri-State U12 Program. Interclub offers participants the opportunity to compete in the Berkshire Interclub League consisting of 3-4 races at nearby mountains (including a home race at Jiminy Peak!) during the season.
- Children must be able to navigate most blue terrain, be able to match their skis consistently, and be able to ride chairlifts independently. The primary focus is on fun and learning and developing good fundamental skills.
- Children will be grouped based on a combination of age and skill levels. Kids will concentrate first and foremost on developing focused free skiing and drills to enhance balance, agility, edging and rotary skills. Later on, gate training will be introduced with a fun race at the end of the season.
- Primary focus will be on GS types of turns, with a possibility of some SL being introduced. Therefore, one pair of skis will suffice. Helmets and poles are required.
- Any child still negotiating beginner or lower terrain may be interested in joining the Mountain Adventure program.
