J3

Hannah Saydek

This fiery group of young alpine racers encompasses the 13- 14 year olds. During this period of growth there is much disparity in physical maturity. We accommodate this in our J3 program by focusing on appropriate skill development. We welcome all who strive to be the best that they can be, have team spirit, determination, motivation and the willingness to show up with your game face on every practice session.

The year begins with a Mid Vermont competition schedule which filters out to state team qualification and later J3 Finals or Jr. Olympics. In preparation for this competitive season training begins the 28th of November and ends in March. Throughout the year there are speed camps and elite competitions injected into the schedule which one must qualify for.

Although an individual sport, there is a team format at all council races, and because we have a team, we strive to be the BEST possible team we can be. In order to compete you must be a member of OMARA, USSA and VARA. Welcome and see you on the hill.
