FAST Program

(509) 935-6649 x633   |    FAST@ski49n.com 

Our alpine racing team focuses on fun and fundamental skill development for the beginner to advanced racer, ages 5 and up. Program training provides the athletes with a mix of gate running and directed free skiing from December through the end of March or early April. Team goals go beyond the slopes with a focus on helping each athlete develop self-confidence, pride in accomplishment and an understanding of commitment and follow-through.

Our coaches are dedicated to developing young athletes with versatility, all-around athleticism and the ability to adapt tactically, both in and out of a racecourse. Family involvement is a key element to the success of our race programs. Parents' participation in hosting events and fundraisers make this an affordable and fun opportunity for the whole family.

This season we have added a new U14 3-Day Program (Fri-Sun) for our older athletes looking to push their performance to higher levels and compete on a larger stage. We will continue to offer a 2-day program for U14 athletes as well.

For those who are more interested in big mountain and freestyle/park, we are also reviving our Freeride Program for the 2024-25 season as a 2-day program on Saturdays and Sundays!

Please contact Krisha Charbonneau with questions at 509-868-3541.

For athletes ages 12-13, this program is separate from the U14 Program. It does not include participation in the U14 race series those athletes will be taking part in. There are smaller number of local YSL race events that include classes for this age range. The YSL Program is a good fit for athletes that want to train, be part of a team, and do a little bit of racing, but are less interested in taking the step into highly competitive racing. 


 

U14 Race Programs (ages 12 & 13)

The U14 Program is geared toward junior racers looking to further their development and performance while opening up opportunities to compete at more advanced levels and larger regional events.

Freeriders (ages 12-15)

Our Freeriders Program is all about creative expression on the slopes, from big mountain freeride lines to boosting jumps and sliding features in the park. Coaching focuses on building toward mastery of individual skills and giving athletes the ability and freedom to blend those skills in limitless combinations, turning the whole mountain into a canvas for their art! The Saturday program will focus more on Freestyle and Terrain Park, while Sundays will focus more on all-mountian freeride terrain (steeps, bumps, glades, and natural terrain features).

 

Full Season Program - (ages 12-15)
1-Day Full Season: $1199 
Training 1 day per week (choose Saturdays or Sundays)  


2-Day Full Season: $1499
Training 2 days per week (Saturdays & Sundays) 

*Program fees DO NOT include Season Pass or Lift Tickets to 49° North, USSS or USASA Membership Fees, Race Entry Fees, or Travel or Lodging for Races/Events.

The Freeriders Program is available to skiers already at a high intermediate or advanced skill level, comfortable skiing in parallel all over the mountain at a moderate to quick pace with flow. If you are unsure about how your athlete may fit, or you have an athlete outside of the noted age range, please reach out to connect with our coaching staff.
