Interfield Team (Born 2011-2016)
The QAST Interfield Team is designed to get juniors excited about ski racing and to develop the physical and mental skills needed to compete as a ski racer at a higher level. This program is all about building the skier and setting them up for success further down the line by acquiring the skills that are needed, all in a fun atmosphere that lets them grow and develop.
The program is designed to teach the love of outdoors and how to play and respect our mountains. The kids will experience a lot of different possibilities that our playground offers us including:
- Ski Racing (drills and gates) 40%
- Technique/Free skiing 60%
Program Notes:
- A QAST jacket (to be returned end of season, please empty pockets and wash). Note: Athletes are also required to wear black ski pants
