All winter programs and the 25km Cross Country trail system are open to the public.

ASC Training Center’s Alpine Skiing and Snowboard programs have been introducing children to the joy and excitement of winter sports for decades. In fact, many of the current coaches grew up skiing in the programs themselves! In addition to Saturday programs for youngsters just starting out, the Alpine Department offers a Comp/Devo team for serious Alpine racers ages ten to eighteen competing in Tahoe League and Far West divisions. On the Snowboard side, there are nine different program choices serving beginning riders all the way up to World Cup level athletes.
The increasingly popular Biathlon program, directed by former Olympian Glenn Jobe, trains biathletes age 11 and up with Youth, Junior and Senior/Masters divisions, as well as clinics and races throughout the season open to the general public.
