The Age Class program is for ages 8-18 (high school senior). Athletes meet Saturday and Sundays depending on their level of commitment and age. They train for SL, GS, limited SG, and SkillsQuest training. Programs range from one, two, three days per week, for training. In addition to training days, some races do require travel. Races are typically held on Sunday and require an additional race registration fee and lift ticket at race location. The lift tickets are priced for the racer and not the market rate. Athletes are not required to participate in races but are highly encouraged since they are putting in additional training time. Races may include select USSA SYNC, Age Class Open races, Championships, and Spring races, as well as the Roaring Fork Series and local Youth Ski League races throughout 9 month season. We have athletes ranging from just enjoying running gates to top Rocky Mountain Division and National competitors. This is the next level of skiing commitment, as part and full time begins when Sunlight Mountain opens in early December and ends in mid-April with the Loveland Derby SL races.
