It’s difficult to know sometimes at the beginning of the season if your child is better suited towards one group or another. We would recommend that you consider the structure of the group, All Mountain being the least structured and Race being the most structured, as the starting point and then match from there. However, if your child starts in one group and decides that it is not the best fit, we are happy to work with you to find the group or team that best matches his or her needs.
This is common as children are new to the program and working to find the best fit. If you think that your child needs to be in a different group, please let us know and we will work with you to find the best fit for your child.
General program days start between 8am and 9am (depending on the group) and end between 2:00pm and 3:00pm. For more examples of a typical program day for each group, you can go to The WMC Racing website under Programs and choose specific group to see more details for each group.
Skier to Athlete ratio is 7/1, POD sizes will vary from 12-30 athletes depending on the team

We rarely cancel training due to inclement weather, although we may occasionally have a delayed start. Cancellations are uncommon. As ski racers, we are prepared to ski in all conditions—rain, snow, or shine—as long as it is safe. Safety is always our top priority! However, there are some exceptions. For instance, in cases of lightning or strong winds that affect lift operations, we will pause and take shelter if necessary. If snow or ground conditions are deemed unsafe, on-snow training may be canceled, and we may opt for dry-land training instead.
WMC Racing uses TeamSnap as its primary communication tool for the program. New families joining WMC Racing program this year should expect to receive an email invitation to join TeamSnap before the season starts. Please make sure you have TeamSnap account set up once you receive an invitation. Be sure to keep an eye out on the email!
All pre-season, in-season, and post-season communications including training camps, social activities, team jackets, etc will be sent via email and TeamSnap and posted in the News & Events section on the webpage.
Returning families can expect their athletes to be added to their new team for the upcoming season.

The development team has been incorporated into the race team’s U-age system for a more streamlined experience. Athletes who signed up for the development team at the end of last season will be placed in groups according to their age. For example, those who are 8 and under will be in the U8 group, and those who are 9-10 year old will be in the U10 group. Each age group will be further divided into sub-groups (pods) based on athletes' abilities and desire.
Our Race program is a season-long commitment, and regular attendance is important for the athletes' development. While missing an occasional session is understandable, we would appreciate it if you could mark your attendance in TeamSnap in advance, so we can adjust our resources accordingly.
