Mastery Programs

The Otto Hollaus Mastery Programs teach intermediate, advanced, and expert skiers to hone and grow their ski skills. Each season culminates with an assessment, and qualified athletes are invited to participate in the Otto Hollaus Cup Race at season's end.

Ages: 10-11

The Mini Masters program allows skiers to explore different turn shapes, sizes and their application in the race course, park and pipe, and terrain variations.

Ages: 12-13

The Junior Masters program offers challenging activities, whether it’s hitting the park or mastering all-mountain skills. In addition to running gates, techniques that begin to develop high end skiing are introduced and applied to various terrain.

Ages: 14-18

Masters students work closely with instructors to achieve peak performance on the race course, steeps, bumps, groomed, or in the terrain park. Students learn the mechanics and a deeper understanding of skill blending required for both all-mountain and competitive ski racing.

Ages: 14-16

Masters Performance participants are intrinsically motivated and excel at personal goal achievement. Performance students improve their ability through exploration of all terrain and conditions; bumps, steeps, gates and park & pipe. The program culminates with a season-end self assessment.

Ages: 15-18 (with one or more years of Masters participation & 80+ score on the Masters test)

With personalized coaching, shared peak performance is the goal. Confident in their abilities in gates, steep, park and pipe, team demonstrations, or even lunch, each experience is about the joy and achievement the sport can bring.

Ages: 15-18 (with one or more years of Masters participation & 80+ score on the Masters test)

Open to high school alpine race team athletes (class size limited to 7 athletes). The goal of Race Masters is to challenge alpine ski racers to further their potential. Curriculum will utilize the United States Ski Team Alpine Training System, weekly video analysis and individualized coaching. Athletes will recognize that solid fundamentals, practiced free skiing are the key to instinctive, fast gate skiing.

Open to skiers who have successfully passed the Mini Masters test (team limited to 8 athletes). Terrain Masters is designed to give students introductory progressions of freestyle skiing. This team is focused specifically on techniques, tricks, etiquette, and safety of freestyle terrain. Skiers will learn how to become comfortable in the terrain park and coach skiers mastery on a variety of park features. This class may be combined with O2T Snowboard, as we'll be using the same terrain.
