Ragged Mountain Ski Team (Draft)

Our Lil' Rippers program is for our youngest skiers. Athletes who are 6- years old, by the last day of the calendar year, are eligible to join this program. Lil' Rippers will spend 12 Saturdays with one or more of our highly qualified coaches. Their focus will be largely on all-mountain skiing, with time spent on all varieties of groomed terrain, as well as time in the park, in the bumps, in the glades, and even in the forest! This group will have limited gate training, and no set competition schedule. There may be an occasional, optional, fun race that athletes may choose to attend.

Our primary goal is to ensure your young athlete enjoys themselves so much that they simply can't wait to come back next weekend. The other goal of this program is to foster confident skiers who can ski anywhere on the mountain and will be prepared for the next step to our u10 race program.
