How to choose a Program AVSC offers programs for all ability levels and interests. There are several factors to consider in selecting the most appropriate program for your child: - Age of your Child
- Ski or Snowboard
- Mountain
- Number of Days the Program Meets
- Base Camp (Learn to Ski and Recreational Programs) or Team AVSC (Higher-level programs including Competition)
The tables below will get you started. Then, for more information, use the links at the left to view details on each program. Keep in mind, our development and Team AVSC programs focus on much more than competition. If you need help with your selection, please contact us at 970-925-2720.
