New "Plus Programs"

The Northstar Ski and Snowboard Team Plus Programs, formerly called Full Time, provide additional training to Northstar athletes four to five days a week, from November through April, with optional weekday training. The program is optimal for athletes who want to take their performance to the next level. Athletes already signed up for Northstar team programs can more than double their training days, from 45 to 90+ days on snow, for a marginal extra cost.

Do you need to live in Tahoe to benefit from the Plus Programs?

Absolutely not. The Plus Programs offer flexible scheduling for busy athletes and parents. Training calendars for the Plus Programs typically extend for one to three weekends prior-to and after the Weekends & Holidays program season. See calendar for details. With an increase in drop-in fees this season, a Plus Programs pays for itself after just a few training days. View team calendars.

Are the Plus Programs only for the Competitive (aka "Comp") Teams?

No. The Plus Programs are available for all of the development programs. For more information about the 'Plus' program, contact Sean Warman via email at swarman@vailresorts.com.

Northstar Team Foundation Survey

The Northstar Team Foundation Board has created a season-end questionnaire to collect information so they are better equipped to serve the Northstar Team athletes.

Please help support the foundation and teams by filling out the survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NorthstarFoundation.
