The Gatebusters program is sponsored by the Toggenburg Racing Association . It is designed for children aged 5 to 8 who are able to ski Toggenburg's Main hill with solid wedge turns. Participation by younger children requires the approval of the Training Director. This program is an introduction to ski racing with an emphasis on a fun, low competition atmosphere.
Training includes proper use of lifts, on-hill safety, skiing etiquette, and proper techniques.
Classes are structured with a low coach-participant ratio to insure individual instruction. The program includes six Saturday training sessions and four Sunday Fun Races. The Saturday sessions begin January 5th and races begin January 20th. Awards and goodies for all racers are in the Loft afterward.
