Winter Sports
During the winter season, the academic schedule provides time each
day for students to ski or snowboard at Squaw Valley USA, site of
the 1960 Winter Olympics. Developmental ski and snowboard classes,
from novice to advanced, are available to help students refine skills
and enjoyment of these winter sports. Competitive athletes have
the option to join the Squaw Valley USA Ski, Snowboard or Freestyle
Team or other local competitive racing or freestyle teams.

skating, cross-country skiing, and a number of other mountainside
