Junior Programs

Age Eligibility: Year of Birth (YOB) 2012-2013

The SARS U14 Team is a great way to transition from the Youth Ski League Program to the more intensive Junior race programs. This group focuses on cutting-edge skill development both in and out of the race arena while having the opportunity to compete approximately two weekends per month.

The U14 team athlete will have the opportunity to train occasionally on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons as well as all day on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. While there is no obligation to train 3-5 day per week, the opportunity to do so will be available. Athletes are welcome to train on only Saturdays and Sunday, as well.

For the 2025/2026 season – ALL Junior athletes will be receiving new team jackets (price included in the tuition fee). 

These jackets are meant to last for two seasons. Plan accordingly for size changes when picking out your size on the registration form. We will have a jacket fitting at The Alpine Shop on September 4th & 5th. If you need to change the size you selected, that will be the time to do so.

U14 Team (2-5 days per week)

• Tuition – $2,900
• Dates: Every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, plus the occasional Wednesday and Thursday afternoons beginning in Early December through the end of the competition season in late April.
• Holiday Camp December 27-December 31

Age Eligibility: Year of Birth (YOB) 2011 and older

This is a full-time racing and training group that competes at Northwest Cup events, Evergreen Cup events, and Regional Championship events upon qualification. Age eligible athletes may also compete in “in-division” FIS races. It is designed for athletes 16 and older aspiring to be successful at the divisional and regional levels. Athletes’ individual needs are met based on tactical, technical, and competitive goals.

FIS-aged athletes that want to compete on a part-time level may choose the Northwest Cup/U16 team rather than the full-time FIS program. This option offers a more limited travel and training schedule yet still offers a great deal of overlap with the FIS program in the training and Northwest Cup racing arena.
