Selection camp on snow from April 5 to April 7, 2024.

Every year, the Mont-Tremblant Ski Club organizes a selection process for young people wishing to join the Racing Club. Due to the limited number of places available, we are obliged to make selections.

Two objectives govern us:

  • To select youth who demonstrate competitive ability and developmental potential;
  • To make the selection process a constructive learning tool for the youth.

The evaluation will be done in 2 steps:

  1. Ongoing ski evaluation at a 3-day camp (2 days mandatory) (dates will be posted on the ski club website)
    1. Evaluation of skiing skills in various situations and terrain (beginner to expert)
      • Basic technique;
      • Athletic ability in skiing
    2. Evaluation of competitive skills
      • Demonstrates interest in learning,
      • Demonstrates commitment to training,
      • Demonstrates an ability to manage risk,
  2. Physical tests at the multi-sport field - The tests used are the Mini Ironman for 9-10-year old’s and the Ironman JR for 11+ year old’s (date to be determined)
    1. Assessment of physical abilities such as:
      • Physical endurance;
      • Speed of movement ;
      • Balance, coordination and flexibility.
    2. Minimal score required
      • Mini Ironman:
        1. 2013: 100 pts +
        2. 2014: 200 pts +
      • Ironman Jr: 100 pts +

Final selections will be announced by email to parents one week after the final selection stage.

In the case of non-selection, a detailed letter of explanation will be sent to the parents.

We sincerely hope that this selection process will be constructive for each of the young people interested in the Mont-Tremblant Ski Club.

Registration to the camp via Club online store before March 30, 2024.
