Super Sliders
A youth cross country ski program for children ages 5-11
The Super Sliders meet and ski on most Saturdays from December through March. 10:30 - 12:30
2010-11 dates coming soon
Children are grouped by similar age and ability to maximize learning and fun. Skills are developed through playing games, adventures, and by exploring the trails. We have found that children are more likely to stick with our sport if the parents are involved, so we give free season trail passes to parents too!
This is not a typical ski school “drop off” type of program. The Super Sliders rely on everyone’s help to make it so successful, and we require all parents to help in some way.
Cost to join the program remains at a bargain - just $125 per child; plus family club membership.
Dues includes season trail passes for the family.
Or, if you are not sure you are ready to commit - come to any of our sessions before min Jan for a $20 trial fee (for Slider session, equipment & pass). The $20 will be applied to your annual fees if you enroll.
Kids skis, boots and poles are available to lease for $45 per season.
Stay tuned for 2010/2011 sign up forms

High School Team / Club Support
Many Children are lucky to have the opportunity to ski race as a school sport. These young athletes benefit from the social interaction as well as school recognition and PE credits. The Auburn Ski Club offers a high quality low cost training venue to all school teams (athletes and coaches need only join the club to receive a free season pass).
Club staff offer advise and assistance in coaching, training, technique improvement and waxing. The Club also sponsors and hosts the All League and State Championships for Middle and High School Teams every year. If you are interested in helping start a team at your child's school please contact the Nordic staff at the training Center (530) 426 3313 for more information of HOW WE CAN HELP.
1-2-3 Ski Program
This unique elementary school program has been running for 14 years at the Club's Training Center.
Before their visit club staff visit the children in their classrooms to introduce them to the sport of cross country skiing and the equipment they will be using.
On the scheduled " ski day" children are outfitted with modern, quality ski equipment and are taught the basic skills of skiing by experienced Club instructors. As part of the educational experience children also learn about the history of the area with displays from The Western Skisport museum.
Since inception in 1994 we have introduce well over 20,000 kids to skiing!
We are currently looking for a sponsor to help run this program.
