We don’t have set age limits in place for our junior or senior programs but as a guide we say roughly 8yrs+ to 15yrs for the junior program and 16yrs + for the senior program. The senior program is a dedicated snowboard cross program and the junior program is a combined park & pipe, snowboard cross and all mountain program designed to give the junior athletes the best possible preparation for whichever discipline they choose. These are full residential programs with comprehensive safeguarding in place.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Join today and look forward to an awesome winter on snow! Payment plans available. Click the button below to email us and find out about the programs on offer.
