McCall Winter Sports Club's programming is designed to develop the "whole skier and rider."  Athletes will learn all-mountain fundamentals including stance, balance, positioning and edge pressure. These are transitional skills that apply to any track the athlete chooses to pursue.  

While we strive to create lifelong skiers & riders, our greater goal is to create world-class kids through winter sports. 

Mighty Mites

The Mighty Mites program is for skiers 6-8 years of age.  This is an all-mountain program with a mixture of freeskiing, brushes and drills. An emphasis is placed on learning the fundamentals of the sport in a fun, safe and friendly environment.
