Academic Strengths and Overview: Seamlessly mixes education and sport for students. School and town are located less than 5 minutes from training facilities, so students can ski in the morning and go to school in the afternoon. Full academic course offerings are available including visual and performing arts, media technology and trades.
Although Red Mountain Academies have only been around since 2005, The Red Mountain Racers and Black Jack Ski Club have been developing young athletes into champion skiers and ski racers for almost 60 years. The program works to develop the athletes as a whole with sport-specific dryland programs, flexible education, top of the line coaching, injury prevention physiotherapy, nutrition planning, mental training, etc. Athletes train during the day throughout the year. The learning structure provides the flexibility needed to excel by allowing students to customize their program using self- paced and traditional options. We use the latest technology so even while students are on the road racing, they can access their studies and teachers online.

Training Facilities: Red Mountain Resort (downhill) and Black Jack Ski Club (nordic), travel for early season training camps.
