To ensure all participants are of the appropriate standard for training, all new team members will need to pass an ability assessment with a coach prior to being placed with their team.

This is to guarantee all athletes are placed in groups appropriate for their development and ability levels. Athletes must be able to load and unload lifts unassisted and comfortably ride the lifts by themselves.

They must also be able to ski the runs serviced by the Comer lift. This includes making linked parallel, or mostly parallel, turns in both directions at a consistent speed, with the ability to perform a hockey stop safely and at will on these runs. Preferably, athletes will be skiing with poles upon entering the program. If these skills are still a bit beyond your athlete, the Mt. Ashland Snowsports School offers a pre-development program for those not yet capable of fulfilling the abilities mentioned above.

The Regional Race program serves a wide range of skiing abilities, with an increased focus on cross training, goal setting, planning, and equipment. The coaches work closely together to evaluate and accommodate different ski and race levels. The program is for skiers ranging from little racing experience as well as those athletes with several years of racing behind them. The majority of time is spent in directed free skiing, with incremental increases in gate training.
