RIPPERS Program Overview
RIPPERS nurtures essential skills in budding skiers, helping them to seamlessly advance their abilities across all terrains and skill levels.

Rippers Holiday Camps
Holiday Camp, Dec. 29-30
This 2-day Camp will provide athletes with the opportunity to work on fundamental skills and offer plenty of directed free skiing with the Rippers coaches. The skills progression will include a series of drills and exercises to support good stance & balance on skis during the morning sessions. The afternoon sessions will focus on directed free skiing so that athletes get a chance to practice, on appropriate terrain, the new skills previously learned during the morning session.
Holiday Camp schedule will be the same as our regular program hours.
Spring Break Camp March 10-11
This 2-day Camp will provide athletes with the opportunity to spend time working on skills and exercises that are more specific to where the team is at within the season progression. This Camp is offered before the U10 State Championship and is a great opportunity for those athletes attending to revisit every discipline offered at the State Championship (Slalom, GS, and some years an introduction to Super G). Athletes not going to the championship will still benefit from this camp. Groups and focuses will consider every athlete's need for where they are at in the season. All athletes signed-up for this camp will also have directed off-piste free skiing opportunities, conditions permitting.
Spring Break Camp schedule will be the same as our regular program hours.
