The TAS Intro Program is an entry-level ski racing program for skiers age 8 and older. It is designed for skiers new to racing looking to improve their skiing skills and get a taste of competition. Emphasis is on the development of basic skiing fundamentals through directed free skiing, drill courses, and gate training. This program is offered from January to March.

No racing experience is necessary. Athletes must be able to ski all runs at Summit West and most runs at Alpental, Central, and East. Athletes also need the ability to ski intermediate terrain with linked, parallel turns. They must be able to load and ride the chairlift without an adult. They must be able to listen and follow directions from an adult. Athletes must be mature enough to be separated from their parents without anxiety. This is not a ski school, and the focus is on racing fundamentals (technique and tactics).

Skis (any skis will do, but we recommend an 8-13m radius ski that is the same height as the athlete standing in their boots), 3 or 4-buckle ski boots, winter ski clothing, goggles, ski gloves, and water bottle.
