Team Tonkawood is designed for the skier
who is looking for a bit more from the Tonkawood Ski School. More time on the hill, more coaching, more
fun with friends, and more independence.
Team Tonkawood blends instruction, drills, games and racing in a team
environment that is fun, challenging and exciting.
Team Tonkawood is designed to bridge the
gap between recreational skiing and the more competitive race teams (USSA or
High School). We will be using team
work, fun, and great coaching to teach kids how to get the most out of skiing
in the Midwest . While team members will have the opportunity
to compete in four all day races (four runs each), our focus is less on the
competition and more on the skills and attitude that are required to be
competitive.
Skiing and racing are hazardous and the
safety of the kids and coaches is our number one priority. To keep the program safe the coaches will
expect the kids to be able to:
- Follow directions and
obey safety rules
- Get on the chair and ride safely without
direct adult supervision
- Use the buddy system when not under direct
adult supervision
- Wear helmets and goggles while training and racing
Team Tonkawood is focused on teaching
children the skills required to race and compete. Kids should have a strong basic turn (braced
turn is fine). Ski poles are not
required, although most kids will progress to the use of poles relatively
quickly. Finally, if the mountain is
open we are skiing: team members will learn how to ski in extreme winter
conditions (with lots of hot cocoa breaks).
Team Tonkawood has two program
options.
- Full Program includes
eight weekend training days and seven Wednesday nights for $525 if
postmarked by October 15. $600 if postmarked after that date.
- Weekend Program includes eight weekend training days for $360.
Cost includes
all instruction and lift tickets for the Tonkawood races and practices. Lift tickets for the three Midwest Race
League races are not covered.
