Q: Is it Ok if my athlete cannot make all program sessions?

Q: Do you make Team changes?
A: Sometimes it will be necessary to move athletes to a different Team to enhance their experience.

A: All athletes will eat lunch starting at 10:30 am to avoid the lunch rush. Coaches and their Teams are assigned a lodge to eat lunch. Check with your coach to see which lodge your athlete is assigned to eat.
Q: What can my athlete eat for lunch?
A: Snowbasin offers a wide variety of lunch choices at all lodges, which should meet every athlete’s taste and need.
