This program is designed for athletes that wish to compete in
Slopestyle, Skiercross, and Big Mountain competitions.

TWST is happy to offer an exciting program that focuses on slopestyle and big mountain skiing. Athletes participating in this program will learn the skills needed to negotiate some of the steepest terrain in North America. Our home in Taos Ski Valley affords our athletes the chance to challenge themselves with narrow chutes, steep lines and ripping fast large peak descents. Athletes will fine tune their fundamental skiing skills, learn first aid, learn avalanche safety, and practice aerial stunts in a safe, supervised environment.

TWST will offer the following 2011-2012 programming options.

• We offer a Saturday Only Program that meets every Saturday from Taos Ski Valley’s opening day until closing day. This is designed to be an introductory program allowing young athletes the opportunity to develop strong fundamental skills with an emphasis on carving, pole planting, gliding, tricks, and jumping. Athletes can compete in a variety of USASA and IFSA events in New Mexico and southern Colorado.
• Our Full Time Program is designed for the athlete that seeks to achieve results in regional competitions. Athletes will receive coaching every Saturday and Sunday, coaching at events, dryland training every Tuesday, preseason on snow training, and slalom training from 4-5pm on Thursday for 8 weeks. Athletes compete in regional events that are a part of the USSA, USASA, or IFSA national development pipeline.
