Skier development is a long-term process. Ski racing is an early exposure, late specialization sport with the first exposures to skiing occurring at a young age. Early exposure will aid in building the required solid fundamental skiing skills and movement skills to build an athletic ski racer whom after many years of hard work will have the best chance to obtain podium performances in adulthood.
