More than just focusing on ski racing, Team Summit Nordic’s mission is to provide the youth with a well-balanced program including fitness, self-esteem, and character development through training and competition within a nurturing environment. The club will educate our youth about the values of sports, healthy competition, individual effort, and team spirit.

I.T.S. (PREP) PROGRAMS

Introductory program for athletes ages 7–11 who want to learn both skate and classic techniques while having fun. ITS 1 athletes focus on fun while learning the basic gears in both disciplines.
