ALPINE RACING

Alpine includes the ski racing disciplines of Slalom (SL), Giant Slalom (GS), Super G (SG), Downhill (DH) and Parallel that are part of the Olympic Program. More than just developing racing skills, Alpine training forms the foundation of all-around skiing skills that allow our young athletes at Team Summit Colorado (TSC) to be able to ski all-mountain and in all conditions, for a lifetime of enjoyment.

TSC Alpine training provides age and ability-appropriate training progressions to develop skiing skills, progress to more advanced disciplines and pursue the sport to achieve personal podiums at every level. Most importantly, we strive to foster a lifelong passion for skiing and active lifestyles.
