BIG MOUNTAIN Program

Ages 7-18

 

What Makes LSC Unique

​

• PREMIER TERRAIN ACCESS: Athletes train across Loveland’s diverse high-alpine environment—a natural classroom for mastery. This includes periodic access to our dedicated training venue, a space closed to the public that offers a controlled environment for refining both foundational skills and advanced concepts.

• FLEXIBLE COMPETITIVE PATHWAYS: We recognize that every journey is unique. Our U12 program offers the versatility to explore YSL Alpine racing, test skills in IFSA Freeride events, or focus entirely on personal progression with no competitive requirement.

• RECREATIONAL FOCUS (U15/U19): For older athletes, the focus is on mastering variable terrain and building confidence. While primarily recreational, athletes interested in the competitive side may coordinate with coaching staff to participate in one IFSA competition and/or YSL Alpine racing.

• A "CREW" MENTALITY: We foster a supportive team culture where shared exploration and collective progression drive both athletic growth and a lifelong love for the sport.

​

Athlete Requirements

 

To ensure safety and steady progression, all athletes must meet the following standards:

​

• TECHNICAL PROFICIENCY: Ability to ski blue and black diamond terrain confidently with parallel form and consistent speed control.

• EQUIPMENT STANDARDS: Appropriately maintained alpine gear, including mandatory helmets, recommended back protectors, and equipment suited for all-mountain conditions.

• COMMITMENT TO GROWTH: A mindset focused on coachability, exploration, and contributing positively to the team’s energy.

 

What Athletes Gain

 ​

• ALL-MOUNTAIN VERSATILITY: Comprehensive skill development across groomed runs, moguls, steep bowls, and trees, ensuring readiness for any mountain condition.

• TACTICAL AWARENESS: Athletes learn to "read" the mountain, mastering smart line selection, terrain management, and high-alpine safety protocols.

• PERSONALIZED COMPETITION SUPPORt: For those choosing the competitive track, athletes receive event-specific preparation and mentorship.

  • U12: Eligible for up to three IFSA U12 competitions and/or club supported YSL Alpine Races

  • U15/U19: Eligible for one introductory IFSA competition and/or club supported YSL Alpine Races
