CVA Snowboard Weekend Program
The Weekend Program is designed for snowboarders from ages 7-19 who love to ride, have a desire to learn competition skills and want to improve their snowboarding. Snowboard athletes ride with a CVA coach on weekends and vacation weeks from December to March.
Weekend Program 2021 - 22
The 2021-22 season will include programming on Saturdays, Sundays & vacation weeks from December to March, with 4-5 hours of programming per day.
For returning athletes who participated in the 2020-21 season:
Registration information and links for the upcoming '21-'22 season will be emailed to your address on file by April 16th.
For new athletes who would like to join the 2021-22 season:
The link to register will be published here on July 2, 2021.
Those interested in joining our CVA Alpine Weekend Program for the first time are encouraged to complete this questionnaire by July 1. This will indicate your interest in the program to CVA and set you up to receive a personal reminder when registration opens on July 2. The information you submit will roll over to a waitlist if one is needed. Weekend Program New Family Questionnaire
All new athletes will be required to do a trial ski run with one of our coaches at the start of the season to make sure they are prepared for our competitive groups. Coaches will determine if the athlete is a good fit, and the skill level is appropriate. If we determine your athlete is not ready for our program, we will let you know on the trial day and refund your registration fee.
While we hope to be able to add more athletes to our programs, we cannot guarantee that happening.
