D-Team (Ages 7-13)

D-Team Information Flyer

We will be holding Development Team rates at the 2008-2009 prices if you purchase before November 1st, 2009. However, for this season we have separated the Development Team products from the Child Season Pass. You may purchase your child's season pass at any time before your Development Team start date, but to get the best price you will need to purchase your child's season pass on or before June 21st.

Our Heavenly Child Season Pass is currently rolled back to the 2007-2008 price of $149 through June 21st, 2009. This pass is a restricted Heavenly pass that includes (nine) 9 blackout dates: November 27th, 28th, 2009; December 27th through 31st, 2009; and February 13th, 14th, 2010.

D-Team Coaches
The role of "D-Team Coach" is very important. D-Team coaches are hand-selected from our current staff. Coaches are chosen based on their skiing/riding backgrounds and their passion and experience in working with children.

Character Building
Building children's self-esteem and confidence through sports is one of our fundamental goals. In addition, we teach and encourage proper slope etiquette and mountain safety. Our aim is to foster good behavior while enjoying and nurturing a passion for winter sports. We ask you to help us in this mission by supporting the program rules and boundaries.
