July School Holidays Program

School Holidays Program

U12/U14/U16

July School holidays schedule:

Wednesday 8 July – Sunday 12 July 2026

Wednesday 15 July – Sunday 19 July 2026

Mondays and Tuesdays will be scheduled days off each week

This program is to provide an opportunity to develop the fundamentals of ski racing through technical freeskiing and gate training (including stubbies and brushes). 

This is a focused 10 day training block, held in the July public school holidays at Mt Hutt and is suitable for U12, U14, and U16 aged athletes. Athletes are required to have an ability to ski the full mountain and ride the chairlift unassisted.

Includes:

• The July NZ Public school holidays
• The 2 week block includes up to 10 days of coaching, focusing on development of fundamental ski skills and gate training.
• 2 days off scheduled on Monday and Tuesday each week.
• Program hours: 9am - 3pm, with 1hr for lunch.
• This program is capped at 10 athletes. 

Skiing Level:

Athletes must be capable of putting their own skis and equipment on without assistance, and be able to get up off the snow on their own. They must be able to ride the chairlift unassisted, and be able to ski all groomed runs. They must also be able to do small jumps and ski easily off-piste (ie lower towers). Prior gate training, race, or race program experience is an advantage. If you are not currently or previously enrolled in a race program, please discuss ski ability level with the Program Director. 

We encourage all parents to take out their own insurance for unforeseen circumstances. Team Hutt does not have an insurance option to provide. We DO NOT provide refunds for the program. This includes, but not limited to, sickness, injury, weather, mountain closure, pandemic, family issues, or exclusions from the program resulting from breach of our Code of Conduct.

All programs are based on age, but athletes may be grouped based on individual ability and groups may be paired together based on numbers.

* Program Times: The daily scheduled training times are an outline, and may be subject to change based on weather, safety, athlete fatigue, or mountain closure. If the mountain is open, we will endeavour to operate for a minimum of one hour and a maximum of five hours.

For more information contact the Team Hutt Program Director Chris Mosaed.
