The Registration "U8 Mighty Mites (ages 5-7)" is not currently available.

McCall Winter Sports Club's U8 Alpine Ski Program is an entry level program for skiers age 6, 7 and sometimes 8. We encourage all U8 newcomers to have spent some time in the Little Ski Hill After-School Program or similar, but this is not required.  The U8 program 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.  This is our MIGHTY MITES team! 

Athletes have the option of skiing one or two weekend days at Brundage Mountain or Tamarack Resort; as well as afterschool mid-week at Little Ski Hill.

Coaches will break the team up into smaller groups so that developmental training is paced per the individual skier.  The USSA Skills Quest (phase 2) training program is used as a guide for development.

Mighty Mites will have the opportunity to compete in 3-4 local races; including the Soda Pop Race Series Friday Nights at LSH.  It is not required that athletes compete in the races.  Coaches will help determine appropriate events to attend based on an individual athletes' progression.
