At Ascent Racing, we believe ski racing is more than just about winning—it’s about personal growth, building confidence, and fostering a lifelong love for the sport.
By adhering to the best practices from U.S. Ski & Snowboard and Alpine Canada’s Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) models, we equip your child with the skills, guidance, and support they need for long-term success—both on and off the slopes. Our training is developmentally appropriate and designed to meet each athlete where they are, ensuring a well-rounded, progressive path to excellence.
Ascent Ski Racing introduces young athletes to the technical and tactical fundamentals of alpine ski racing. Our program includes directed free skiing and skills acquisition through drills, both inside and outside of gates. No prior race experience is needed, making Ascent the ideal starting point for athletes looking to explore ski racing.
Powered by Pinnacle, Ascent racers benefit from the same coaching philosophies and methodologies that have driven the success of Pinnacle Alpine Racing teams. Our close integration ensures athletes at every level, from beginner to advanced, receive the highest standard of training and development.
Ascent racers will also have the opportunity to participate in the Thunderbolt/Ascent race series, competing at Pine Knob, Mt. Holly, and Alpine Valley, preparing them for future success with Pinnacle Alpine Racing.
