Black Mountain Gates & Glades Explorers
Race. Explore. Adventure.

This 10-week program is for skiers ages 7–12 who want to explore every corner of Black Mountain and get a taste of racing along the way. Each week mixes coached skill-building with guided exploring. Skiers learn to run gates, follow trails through the glades, and take on bumps and steeper terrain, with plenty of games to build confidence.

Explorers may train in race courses alongside the full-time race team, but there is no pressure to compete. The goal is to become a strong, well-rounded skier who knows the whole mountain and loves being on it. All explorers entry fee for the BFAST race will be waived. 

Coach: Shannon Belt is a PSIA Telemark examiner with 34+ years of experience as an instructor of all ages. He will push your little skiers to be better while also having fun, skiing safely and exploring the entire mountain.

Sessions will run on Sundays from 9am-12pm, starting January 3rd. 

Season passes are not included in the Gates and Glades Explorers program.
