These program is open to all U14, U16, and U19 athletes.U10 and U12 athletes with a high level of i ndependence and ability may join this program on a case by case basis, after discussion with the Program Director.

 

The 4 day program trains from Thursday to Sunday each week (outside school holidays) and Wednesday to Sunday during public school holidays. 

 

The 5 day program trains from Wednesday to Sunday each week, including during school holidays.


The focus during training is working on each athlete’s individual goals whilst in a team environment. Preparation through physical, technical and mental skills are the FUN-damentals of ski training and progression to competition.


This program will also introduce tactics, multiple disciplines, and race day preparation and process. The skills from previous levels are expanded and adapted in training situations that offer the athlete both fun and challenge. Coaches will bring the focus towards developing not just the skiing and race skills but will begin to make the athlete aware of their potential in fitness and mental aspects affecting their peak performance.

The experienced, professional staff will encourage clear communication of goals and provide appropriate challenges through free-skiing, drills, and training environments that mimic race situations.


Coaches will attend all Flying Keas, Interfields, and National Points races held at Mt Hutt.


U14, U16, U19 – Team Hutt coaches will attend the primary National Points races scheduled at Queenstown and Wanaka.


Excludes race entry fees.
 

FIS athletes, who plan to race in FIS races, must join the 5 day program.

 

Additional training is available by arrangement with Program Director at a cost of $125pp/day for Team Hutt members, subject to numbers and availability. If you wish to ski 5 days/week, then please sign up to the 5 day program.


All programs are based on age, and each age group will have their own primary coach. Some age groups will work together when appropriate.  U19 athletes who are not competing in FIS races will remain with U16 when the FIS group is away, but will train up with the FIS group when appropriate and available.


We encourage all parents to take out their own insurance for unforeseen circumstances. Team Hutt does not have an insurance option to provide. We DO NOT provide refunds for the program. This includes, but not limited to, sickness, injury, weather, mountain closure, pandemic, family issues, or exclusions from the program resulting from breach of our Code of Conduct.

Program Dates: The 4 and 5 day programs will start on Saturday 28 June 2025. The 4 day program will finish on Sunday 28 September*, and the 5 day program will finish on Sunday 5 October 2025. *There is a National Points race on Monday 29 September at Mt Hutt. Those racing will still have coaching and a program on that race day. 

 

*Program Times: The daily scheduled training times are an outline, and may be subject to change based on weather, safety, athlete fatigue, or mountain closure. If the mountain is open, we will endeavour to operate for a minimum of one hour and a maximum of five hours.

 

We highly recommend purchasing the first tracks add-on to your Mt Hutt pass. This gets you on the chair earlier on weekends when first tracks is operating, and when able we will start training earlier. 

 

If the mountain is open, training starts at 9am each day, or earlier if available. If the mountain is on hold, we are on hold until a decision is made, and if the mountain is open then training is on. If the mountain is closed, then there is no training.
