The Nancy Greene Ski League is a nation wide program.  This program has several stages as your child progresses and follows the Husky Snow Stars manual which provides goals and certificates to award achievements and track progress.  Every child may not aspire to become a ski racer; however the NGSL is one of the best ways to learn to ski well with peers and a qualified coach, and is a fun and fast way for kids to progress into technically good skiers. Races are optional throughout the season; however races are a great way to develop friendships in a fun environment while demonstrating new skills.  For more info about the nation wide program, please see www.nancygreeneskileague.com

NGSL at Cypress Ski Club starts here!

SNOWFLAKES are where the FUNdamental development of ski racers begins.  The focus of this program is to develop overall movement skills and introduce the game of ski racing.  This program helps to develop speed control and skier confidence on a variety of terrain.  Children entering this program need to have basic skiing ability on a green run and be able to load the chairlift themselves, or with minimal assistance. They are grouped according to skill level on the first day, and ski with the same group and coach throughout the season.  The coach will start to work through the Snow Stars coaching manual which indicates different levels of ability which your child can work towards.  For each level your child achieves in the Nancy Greene Ski League, they will be given a certificate and an end of season report to track progress.
