MAMMOTH MOUNTAIN ALPINE TEAM

Alpine_730

MMSST_Alpine_Blue

The Mammoth Mountain Alpine Team is a program dedicated to the development of our athletes in all areas of their lives. Our Alpine Team produces world-class athletes through the use of cutting-edge facilities, a highly qualified coaching staff, and the elite terrain that Mammoth Mountain is known for.

Our staff maintains contacts that have the ability to move athletes onto U.S. Teams. If an athlete has the talent and motivation to excel in their sport, National Team selection can be a reality.

This is not our only goal. What is really important to us is developing our athletes into good people. We teach and promote life skills that complement the work we do on the hill. Academics, responsibility, self-confidence, athletics and a strong work ethic are all integral parts of the MMSST experience.

Mighty Mites

Mighty Mites

6–8 Year Olds

The Mighty Mite team is our entry level program for young skiers. Mighty Mites focus on basic skiing skills and acquiring mileage on skis. An important part of this program is learning how to handle the mountain environment. The coaches teach the skiers to stand on their skis properly, when and how to transfer weight from ski to ski and develop strong parallel turns. It is a fun, playful environment for the kids to ski, learn and interact with other kids their age.

Ability

This is not a "learn-to-ski" program. Athletes must be able to comfortably ride the Unbound Express chairlift by themselves, as well as ski the runs serviced by this lift. This includes making linked turns consistently in both directions and the ability to stop safely. New athletes are required to schedule an assessment prior to the start of the program for group placement and skill assessment.

Schedule

The Mighty Mite Team starts in December, with weekend training and locker privileges. This season, the program will run from 9–11:30AM and 12:30–3PM on Saturdays and Sundays. Mighty Mites will have one afternoon session during the week, Wednesdays, beginning the week of January 8, 2018. Mighty Mites are not supervised during lunch – it is the parents responsibility to organize, supervise, and provide lunch for their athlete. The Mighty Mite program will finish April 1, 2018.
