Five visits to bigger hills in the Laurentians, plus three outings to closer hills in the Gatineau and eastern Ontario. Via chartered highway motor coach over 8 Saturdays. Perfect for older elementary and high schoolers. Ski or snowboard lessons included.

Open to ages 6 to 11, the Performance Academy is a natural next step from our Gatineau and Laurentian Traveller programs — not because it replaces them, but because it builds on them. It's designed for skiers who want more structure, more coaching attention, and a stronger focus on progression, while still keeping all the fun that makes weekend skiing what it is. It's smaller groups, more time on snow, and consistent full-day coaching across all 8 weekends, focused on skiers who want to improve, ski faster, ski with better control, and potentially explore racing or higher-performance skiing in the future. What Makes It Different? - Small groups (max 5:1, often smaller) — coaches work closely with each skier throughout the day - A dedicated full-day coach for all 8 weekends, providing consistency, familiarity, and steady progression - Specialized race coaches Certified by ACA & CSIA from Ottawa Sports Alpine Club, our high-performance coaching and race program under the Alpine Access Corp umbrella Training focused on carving, control, speed development, and the technical foundations that separate good skiers from great ones - A tight-knit group of athletes all working toward the same goal — to improve, push themselves, and enjoy skiing Who It's For? This program is for young skiers ready for more performance-focused recreational skiing. If your child is starting to enjoy speed, is comfortable on steeper terrain, and wants to ski with more control and better technique, they'll fit right in. It's also a natural pathway toward racing or higher-performance skiing in the future, but the core goal is simple: building strong, confident, lifelong skiers who love the sport and want to keep getting better.
