U18/PG Program - At a Glance
EMSC’s U18 FIS and Post-Graduate programs give motivated skiers a clear path from U16 or a gap year into higher-level competition. Athletes get a balanced mix of on-snow training, dryland conditioning, technical and tactical work, mental skills, goal setting, and video review.
We offer two tracks: part-time (weekend training with optional dryland) or full-time (five days a week on snow plus daily dryland). Training is based at Eldora and includes regular sessions at Loveland, Winter Park, and Copper. We recommend athletes carry both Ikon and Loveland passes to make the most of this schedule.
The program focuses on high-quality coaching and open communication with families. Competition schedules are tailored to each skier and can include Rocky Division races, Colorado Ski Cup, Nor-Ams, and FIS U events. Pricing depends on the track and services selected.
