GENERAL INFORMATION:
( For alpine skiers ages 6-13 )
The PRC Buddy Werner (BW)/Pre-Development Team this year will be a Sunday program that has been the mainstay and success of Powderhorn Racing Club over the last 30+ years. The program will cater to the younger and less experienced athlete who wants to improve their all-around skiing skills while providing an introduction to youth ski racing. This is the entry level program offered by Powderhorn Racing Club.
Participants should be Mountain 4 skiers capable of skiing blue runs at Powderhorn Mountain, stopping, getting up without assistance, and can comfortably link wedge turns.
If your child is not comfortable skiing all green runs at Powderhorn, they are not ready for this program.
Each participant will be placed in a group of similar age and ability for their coached lesson. The lessons will vary from week to week with the emphasis on fun and improving skills and technique.
Parental Volunteer Duties and Responsibilities are an important way for families to get involved with the club.

This is an additional opportunity to get in some extra training for the season or to try out the program for anyone who may be curious but is not ready to commit. It will be set up similarly to the season with groups broken up into ability levels and is a great way to get comfortable on the slopes again after a long break.
