ACADEMY
“Personal podiums in the classroom and on the slopes!”
We make it a priority at Team Summit to ensure that our student-athletes have the flexibility and support to pursue their athletic goals while also receiving an enriching and challenging education. Our full-time student-athletes have more on-snow at-home training days than any program in the country. We have access to four world-class skiing and snowboarding mountains as well as off-snow strength and conditioning throughout the year. Our full-time athletes learn many life skills, such as discipline, self-advocacy, strong work ethic, independence, and many more. This program will benefit them well into the future!
Team Summit partners with The Peak School, Summit School District, and Colorado Learning Connections to provide our full-time athletes access to college-preparatory academics. We provide transportation from the three main schools for training during the weekdays. Together we will find the best academic fit for your full-time student-athlete.
