Children and FIS

​

We welcome skiers to both our snow and dry training from minis all the way up to FIS athletes.  The minimum age is 7, but this may vary from camp to camp.  Not all of our camps are suitable for our youngest skiers.  If you are unsure about what level of experience you need please feel free to contact us and we can happily arrange a chat. 

​

There are two options for our snow camps:

​

INLIER

Inliers are unaccompanied by adults.  We provide travel, transport, accommodation and meals.  Athletes can travel with us on accompanied flights from the UK or meet us in resort.  They are transported to/from/within resort in our minibuses driven by our team all of whom are DBS checked and have safeguarding training inline with Snow Sport England requirements.  You must be U14+ to be an inlier with us.  See this page of the website for a flavour of a day in the life of a CDC inlier.

​

OUTLIER

If you are U12 or below you will need to make your own arrangements for travel and accommodation and can join us daily for training and for after skiing activities accompanied by an adult (U14+ are welcome to be outliers with their families too if they prefer).  U12 and below are checked in and out daily with their coach at a pre-arranged meeting point.  U14+ will also check in/out with their coach but may travel to/from daily training independently if permission is given in writing in advance.

​

We run a fully flexible training programme so you can choose to do as much as you like.  Some of our members choose to maximise their training and spend 14 weeks+ a year on snow with us while others dip in and out.  We don't insist on a minimum number of weeks we require you to sign up for and every member is part of the CDC family.

​

In ski racing children are divided into age categories U10s & U12s (minis), U14s, U16s, and U18s.  Some of our athletes choose to progress onto FIS level (Fédération Internationale de Ski) and we continue to support their training towards achieving their Alpine World Cup goals.  The age bands start on 1st January.

​

At CDC we ski bigger days - making sure to combine both gates training and free skiing with fun first being our top priority.  Our ethos is at the heart of what we do and our expert coaches are hand-picked for their communication skills, their talent and their passion as well as their outstanding coaching skills.  For more information on what to expect from CDC coaching and learn more about the team, click here
