Flow (Alpine/Freeride/Board)
Winter Session, 14 or 16 Weeks starting in December
En Flow program is GTSSF’s non-competitive program across Alpine, Freeride, Snowboard, and Campo a través disciplines. Designed for young athletes, it emphasizes skill development, mountain awareness, and a lifelong love of skiing and riding. Through fun, guided exploration of varied terrain, athletes build strong fundamentals, teamwork, and confidence, preparing them for smooth progression into advanced programs. The goal is to create well rounded skiers through understanding and placement of turns in gate training and all mountain aspects.
Desarrollo de habilidades y enfoque
Emphasis on play, varied terrain, and refining ski fundamentals. The three technical components will be balance, rotary, and edging. Coaches will emphasize having fun while building teamwork, learning mountain safety, some gate training and enjoying time outside. Guided free skiing and drills are an integral part of the Alpine Flow program. Children will be encouraged to lead a balanced lifestyle with healthy habits that promote success in sports and life. Positive parental support is essential. Athletes are arranged in groups based on skill, speed, and social needs.
Evaluación de competencias *requerido
Llevaremos a cabo la Evaluación SkillsQuest de USSA on the 1st day of practice. The assessment determines which group within the program your athlete will participate in. If a child is not yet ready for programs, families can leave any payments on their account to be used at a future date or receive a full refund. Should your athlete need to work to improve on any of the skills with this assessment, we will recommend moving back to Flow. Athletes will be recommended to move from Flow to Team on their coaches’ recommendation. Any children who participated in programs last year may register and participate without doing the skills assessment.

Los precios de los pases no están incluidos en las tarifas del programa GTSSF. Los pases de Grand Targhee Resort deben adquirirse directamente a través de Grand Targhee Resort. Los atletas que participan en Nordic están obligados a tener un Teton Valley Trails & Pathways Pegatina nórdica. A Grand Targhee Resort, Nórdico se anima a pasar.
GTSSF will not be hosting programs on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, or New Year’s Day, so our coaches and families can enjoy that time with their family and friends. We do intend to provide make-up days for all participants for those three days based on coaches’ and athletes’ schedules. Look for an email from our coordinator with opportunities for make-up sessions.
Transporte
Shuttles or other rides will be coordinated by coaches and race parents based on where athletes attend school and the needs of other teams. Transportation is never 100% guaranteed. Travel expenses are not included in program fees. Please review the Grand Targhee Shuttle page for travel options.
Depósitos para eventos
Se requiere un depósito por cada atleta que participe en la competición. Los depósitos para eventos deben abonarse el jueves anterior a cada competición por equipos. Si no realizas el depósito antes de un evento a través de Ski Club Pro, es posible que se te pida que lo hagas en el evento. Si no realizas el depósito para un evento, no se te permitirá participar en los próximos eventos hasta que el depósito para el evento anterior y el depósito para el próximo evento se realicen en línea.
Los depósitos del evento se aplican a todas las tasas de competición, incluyendo pero no limitándose a la inscripción, billetes de remonte, tiempo adicional de entrenamiento, kilometraje, dietas y alojamiento. El saldo de estas tasas pagadas por adelantado por la GTSSF para los atletas participantes se debe abonar en la factura. Si no se recibe el pago de las cuotas y otros gastos de un participante dentro de los plazos de pago, se le podrán revocar los privilegios del programa y/o de la competición hasta que se ponga al día en su cuenta.
Planes de pago
Si un atleta prevé participar en varias competiciones a lo largo de una misma temporada, esa familia puede preferir establecer un plan de pago mensual o quincenal para cubrir los costes estimados. Se enviará una factura adicional después de cada evento por cualquier saldo adeudado para tener en cuenta la diferencia entre el depósito y el coste real. El GTSSF no incrementa los costes de ningún evento.
