Additional Costs Due at Registration:
All families are required to purchase a family Membership.
Family Membership – $800
Yullr subscriptions will now be included in training fees for U12 and older Alpine athletes, as well as Devo and “A” Freestyle athletes. We have been working closely with the Yullr team to refine camera placement and improve the interface to help athletes and coaches take full advantage of the technology. Cameras have also been installed at the bag jump facility to expand the system’s capabilities.
The annual capital investment fee of $500 per family will begin this coming season. This fee represents a strategic investment in the strength and sustainability of our club, helping us manage critical infrastructure costs in a fair and predictable way. By implementing this fee, we can protect program fees from sharp increases while continuing to maintain and enhance the facilities that make our programs possible. Please note that the fee will apply to all club and academy families. If your family has athletes in both the club and the academy, you will only be assessed once. This ensures that every family contributes fairly while avoiding duplicate charges.
In the near term, the fee will directly support the remaining costs of the Benson Family Competition Center, a transformative addition to our campus that has already had a significant impact.
Credits by age group.
Groms
The Groms program is a competition freestyle development program designed for boys and girls ages 8 to 10. Athletes interested in Freeskiing & Freestyle skiing will move on from the Mites Program and into the Groms Program. The program offers an opportunity for our youngest skier to explore various freestyle disciplines including slopestyle, moguls, and aerials all while doing a ton of freeskiing and preparing young athletes to enter the competitive discipline(s) of their choice.
New groms should have the ability to perform basic link turns down green and blue trails at Waterville Valley. Groms will be introduced to competitions at other mountains but, the majority of the weekends are spent skiing at Waterville Valley. Emphasis is placed on having fun, developing a lifelong love for skiing, and building skills all at the same time. We foster healthy competition, good sportsmanship, teamwork, and social interaction along with the development of independence and responsibility.
