First Tracks Training is a fast, fun, early-morning on-snow clinic designed to sharpen teaching and technical skills in just 45–60 minutes. Offered every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday throughout the training season, these focused sessions take advantage of fresh corduroy and first tracks to kick-start your teaching day.
Each clinic includes a few purposeful laps on Buttercup Run with high-level trainers. The learning focus is shared at the top of the chairlift, followed by a full-run task and a ride-up discussion topic to reflect, connect, and refine. Instructors leave with practical takeaways and clear focus points they can continue to practice for the rest of the day—starting their day confident, engaged, and ready to teach.
SIGN UP PRIOR TO 7:45 AM! No walk ups will be allowed.
