Teams Program (DASH+DEVO)

The objectives of this program are to build athletes that are passionate about the mountains, are positive ambassadors of Dodge Ridge and are committed to developing a life-long love of snowsports. This will be accomplished through Cooperative Coaching, terrain-based learning, safety (demonstrating Skier + Rider Responsibility Code), and fun. They will benefit from small coach-to-athlete ratios and the friendly competition of fellow team members. The teams will explore a variety of terrain including off-piste and ungroomed conditions.
The first day of the program, January 6th will be an evaluation day. Athletes will be placed based on their skill level, at the coaches discretion. Athletes may end up on a different team that they signed up for originally.

The Youth Progression Program is designed for younger skiers and riders who are progressing at a fast pace and ready to experience a team format with support from qualified coaches. This program is community and fun focused. Your child will build confidence, learn strong fundamental skills, and create friendships allowing kids to step out of their comfort zone on the mountain in a safe and enjoyable environment. A main focus is improving basic skills and teaching strong fundamentals, while participating in an all day program without parent interaction.

Our DASH team is a natural next step up from the progression program and will offer an introduction to kids looking to take the next jump into their ski or ride progression, as the step before any specialized teams. The main focus is for your athlete to go from an intermediate skier and rider to a confident advanced one. Each weekend will have a specific skills topic and focuses the athletes on advancement. Our goal is to not exceed a 5 athlete to 1 coach ratio, ensuring your athlete will get individualized training.
