Remember when you were a kid and your parents dropped you off at the hill to ride the pow and hit up the slalom gates for the day? You don’t?? Well here’s how to NOT let that happen to your kids!
Get your youth out riding the mountains this winter with professional ski coaches to provide them with those memories! You can set the stage now for them to have skills that you only dreamed about when you were their age. At Evergreen we are steadfast on getting youth out into nature to learn more about themselves and the world around them.
This winter, Evergreen is running eight weekends of our “Hakuba Hero’s Race and Freeride” sessions for children 13–18 years of age. We are looking for high school students that know how to ski and snowboard but are looking to get some serious technical coaching from professionals. The Hakuba Hero’s Race and Freeride Club is set up so that students from Tokyo, Yokohama, and Nagoya can join us in February or March in Hakuba for five weekends, for two days and one evening of ski or snowboard sessions, along with four meals and one night’s accommodation.
These weekend getaways to the Japanese alps are a great way to provide your child with greater independence as well as turn them into a real ripper on the snow! The good people at Evergreen are parents themselves, and professionals in the snow industry, as well as having over a decade of experience taking care of international school groups and students from all over the world. You can feel confident knowing that your child is in caring hands from their arrival at Hakuba to their departure.
At Evergreen, we know the importance of sparking real passion in youth so as to drive them forward into the future. Feel free to give us a call or send us a note to ask us about our youth programs over winter and summer. Remember: the time is now and the medium is pow!! — DAVE ENRIGHT
