2024 SNOW SQUAD PROGRAM DETAILS

• 30 days of coaching (14 days from 29 June  - 14 July and every weekend until 8 Sept 2024 inclusive)
• Lunch provided

Mt Buller's Snow Squad seasonal programs offer a full winter of on snow fun, learning, and development for young athletes as well as children and teens wishing to progress their intermediate skills to the next level.

Snow Squad is designed to be an “all mountain” program, emphasising overall skills and refining technique so that participants can safely ski or ride anywhere, anytime, with confidence and expertise. Snow Squads are the first step in the development pathway for young athletes wishing to compete and/or specialise in a particular discipline down the track.

These programs offer outstanding value and enable children to ski or snowboard with the same group for the season. This allows them to develop a rapport with their instructors and other children, and makes learning a tonne of fun!

Uniform

A Snow Squad Jacket is required to participate in the program. In order to provide better value and reduce the environmental impact, the Snow Squad program jackets will carry over from the 2023 winter season.  The Snow Squad Jacket from the 2023 program will be applicable for the 2024 program (colour of the jacket is the picture on the top of this page).  You may purchase a jacket when you proceed through our check out when buying online. A limited number of new jackets are available and were ordered in advance in October 2023.
