DEVO PROGRAMS
The Snowbasin Ski Team Devo Program is a comprehensive all mountain curriculum that emphasizes the fundamental skills of skiing. Most athletes joining the Devo program have experience skiing with their families or have completed resort ski school programs such as Learn and Earn or resort seasonal programs like Future Busters, Little Busters or Basin Busters. Athletes must be comfortable skiing terrain off Wildcat Express Chairlift, be able to manage their own equipment both on and off hill and able to load and unload the chairlift independently or ask for assistance.
Athletes can join this program between the ages of 5-15 to gain fundamental skills in a non-competitive team environment. (Must be 5 by Dec 31st.) Devo athletes are grouped for ability and social compatibility, which range from our beginner to intermediate and advanced levels. The Devo program includes two home alpine races and end of season SkillsQuest Assessment in addition to Coach recommendations for follow-on advancement within the Snowbasin Ski Team Programs.
With coach/program recommendation, an athlete may be selected to participate in the Devo+ program, which includes both on & off piste skiing as well increased exposure to alpine ski racing and freeride skiing in particular. Devo+ athletes have the option of adding Holiday Camp training, higher level alpine races and an at home freeride competition.
