Welcome to Junior Development

Green Mountain Valley School (GMVS)  Junior Development is for all young, developing athletes who aspire to be the best! The GMVS Academy welcomes junior Nordic and alpine ski racers from all over the country to participate in a variety of training opportunities in both the winter and summer. Our programs are  structured for specific age and development levels. Each program provides the athlete with an environment in which to grow, learn and mature as an athlete and as a person. All Junior Development Programs embrace the GMVS athletic philosophy; using athletics to teach the greater lessons of life. Adhering to the GMVS Mission Statement, participating athletes are asked to prescribe to the GMVS set of values of discipline, responsibility, respect, independent initiative and total commitment and effort!

The Alpine training opportunities include a full-time pre-season training program in December, and pre-season training camps in Canada and Colorado.  The December pre-season program and Colorado camp are selective and require applicants to apply and be accepted. We offer “Flex-Terms”  for both Nordic and Alpine skiiers  throughout the season where athletes spend Monday-Friday either living on campus or commuting to the academy.  These programs are very popular and fill quickly.
