ALPINE RACE PROGRAM
The Snowbasin Alpine competitive programs are categorized by series. From mastering fundamental alpine race techniques to tackling more complex racing skills, our programs are designed to provide a progressive and challenging learning experience while developing a competitive spirit. The South Series and U14 Qualifier Series are intended to each be two year programs. A new to racing athlete can find appropriate ability level success in either the Youth Ski League, South Series or U14 Qualifier series. Our U16+ & Open Series allows athletes to compete up to the U18 level.
