Rowmark Ski Academy
Rowmark Junior Program
The goal of the Rowmark Junior Program is to develop well-rounded skiers who have been introduced to the basics of ski racing and taught a strong technical foundation. We encourage young skiers to have fun and to develop a love for the sport. As skiers become older, we increase the level of competition, number of days on snow and racing focus in order to prepare our athletes for the rigor of the Academy program if they wish to apply.
Mission
Rowmark Junior Program offers an after school/weekend ski program designed to foster a lifelong appreciation of alpine skiing and racing. We strive to offer skiers a fun skiing experience and positive learning environment. We develop young skiers from beginner to elite alpine levels with the aim to produce all around versatile skiers. Pre-season conditioning, guided free-skiing, technical skill development, and racing tactics are balanced to be appropriate to the age and maturity of the child. Growing through our ski programs, our skiers become independent and self-reliant skiers.
Highlights
- Skiing is a life long sport that can be performed with family and friends of all ages. Our skiers develop skills to be enjoyed long after racing.
- Rowmark Junior Program’s highly qualified coaching staff focuses on fun while enabling the students to build confidence, self-discipline, team comraderie and sportsmanship.
- Rowmark Junior Program has an eye toward shaping strong ski racers that ultimately may qualify for Rowmark Ski Academy. Implementation of this philosophy varies with age and ability and offer's a progression whereby skiing days and race involvement increases as the skier’s age and commitment level grows. Younger athletes spend more time nurturing fun activities and skiing development, while older athletes focus their time and energy on racing tactics.
- Rowmark strives to maintain small coach to skier ratio, one coach to six-eight skiers.
- Kinder and Love to Ski Teams ski at Park City Mountain Resort while our Lower and Middle School Teams train and ski at both Park City Mountain resort and Snowbird.
- Rowmark Junior Program’s schedule is build around Rowland Hall’s academic curriculum. There is a harmony between the two schedules that allow skiers to pursue their academics and their ski racing goals without overlap.
- All dryland training takes place at school as an extension of the school day (eliminating extra parent transportation.)
- We offer professional transportation from school to the mountain and back.
- Safety of our skiers is the number one concern for our coaches. Mountain rules and skier courtesy are emphasized. Rowmark coaches promote safety awareness on and off the mountain.
- We serve Rowland Hall students ages five to 13 - Kindergarten to eighth grade. Our program is made up of four different teams –Kindergarten Team, Love to Ski Team, Lower School Team, and Middle School Team. These different teams offer a natural progression of increased commitment and focus on competition as ability and skill improve.
