All Mountain Team
10 to 15-year-olds
Program Overview
The All Mountain Team is designed for graduates of the Development All Mountain Team (Devo). This non-competitive team trains at Diamond Peak, with travel to other resorts offered once a month on a Sunday to explore the Lake Tahoe basin resorts. While our goal is to prioritize visiting the Diamond Peak Season Pass partner resorts, this team may venture to other resorts like Tahoe Donner, Donner Ski Ranch, Homewood Mountain Resort and Sierra At Tahoe. Tickets to these resorts are not included in tuition. Transportation to the resorts will be provided by DPST.
In this program, athletes will delve into various aspects of skiing, including alpine skills, off-piste skiing, tuning basics, exploring Freeride tactics, technical fundamentals, all-mountain safety, and having fun in all snow conditions.
Program Schedule
The All Mountain Team offers a 4-day program: Wednesdays and Thursdays (1 PM - 4 PM), Saturdays, Sundays, and specific holidays from 9 AM to 1:30 PM. The program runs from early December to late April.

Required Equipment
Families are responsible for providing essential equipment, which includes All Mountain/Freeride skis (85+mm underfoot) are recommended, well-fitting boots with thin socks, adjustable poles featuring large baskets, and proper winter attire like waterproof gloves, fleece, wool, synthetic, and down layers, along with water proof ski pants. The Diamond Peak Ski Team offers team jackets available through a seasonal lease program.
Additionally, protective gear such as helmets and goggles are mandatory.
Athletes must carry water, snacks, and sunscreen while skiing, and it's advised to consult coaches for gear sizing and to ensure equipment approval before on-snow training. Coaches will conduct meetings in the fall concerning required high-quality, properly fitting, and tuned equipment suitable for athletes moving towards expert skiing levels in various conditions.
