ABOUT
At SST, we believe that effective coaching is athlete-directed and athlete-centered. Working as a team, with a collective approach based on clear expectations and goals, each athlete is given the opportunities, encouragement and tools to succeed. We offer a strong fundamentals-based curriculum derived from US Ski and Snowboard's education department, emphasizing positive, progressive and productive feedback. Each day our athletes will be expected to show commitment to improvement and asked to perform to the best of their abilities.
While we recognize that youth today are multi-faceted and multi-talented, during the winter season skiing is our primary sport.
