D-Team

Wild Mountain and the Wild Mountain Snowsports School offer area youth an exciting opportunity to enjoy winter in an atmosphere that promotes an active, healthy, outdoor lifestyle. Programs are focused on providing a safe, fun and motivating environment that develops a foundation for a lifetime of enjoyment in winter activities the entire family can enjoy. D-Team is for skiers ages 6-17 and snowboarders 8-17. Although an introduction to the more technical aspects of skiing and riding, D-Team is not a learn-to program – see the Wild Cat Club for information for kids just learning or developing individual skills.

D-Team, just what does that ‘D’ stand for? The ‘D’ stands for DEVELOPMENT, which leads to another question – Development in what? Skiing or snowboarding skills, racing or park skills – where’s the focus? The primary focus is on the goals and needs of each individual, to help them develop their all mountain skiing and riding as well as their athletic and personal skills. Our D-Team programs are organized in such a way that the dedicated coaches are able to focus on developing and promoting:

  • The fundamental and technical aspects of skiing and snowboarding to provide a solid platform as the elements of racing or park riding are introduced and refined.
  • Safety awareness and slope side courtesy.
  • Physical and mental preparation, discipline and conditioning.
  • Competition, sportsmanship, fair play and respect for one another.
  • Teamwork, friendship, goal setting and self confidence.
  • A healthy attitude for outdoor enjoyment in a lifelong family recreational activity.

And let’s not forget a very important focus FUN! Having FUN, making new friends and creating lasting memories play a very important role in making the Wild Mountain D-Team program so successful!
