About
Telluride Ski & Snowboard School Specialty Youth Programs include Teen Snowboard 4-Day Camps, an 8-session Development Squad ski and snowboard program, and additional specialty offerings such as Ski Biomechanics 4-Day Camp, Making Friends with Moguls, and the Silver Skier Program. Teen Snowboard Camps for Teens focus on progressing core skills and levels of riding, discovering Telluride’s terrain to increase freeriding skills, and taking terrain park skills to the next level, whether as an introduction or for perfecting favorite tricks. Development Squad is a full-day ski and snowboard program that promotes team building, models safe mountain tactics in a non-competitive environment, and includes lunch.
• Ages: 5–17 years old
• Schedule: Teen Snowboard Camp is a 4-day, full-day program from 9am–4pm on specific New Year’s, Presidents’ Day, and March spring break dates; Development Squad meets as an 8-session, full-day program on select Saturdays or Sundays during the 2025–26 season; Women’s Weekend is a 3-day camp with a meet-and-greet on Day 0 and on-snow days that generally run between 9am and 4pm.
• Price: Teen Snowboard Camp is $1,155 for camp only or $1,355 for camp and lift tickets, with optional lift access 2 days before and/or 2 days after for $105 per day; Development Squad costs $980; Women’s Weekend costs $905 for camp only or $1,055 with lift tickets.
D-Squad’s stated goal is to foster a fun and safe learning environment while developing well-rounded skiers and snowboarders who have a true love for the sport, the mountain, and Telluride. For Development Squad, lunch is included, and if a child has any food allergies, packing them a lunch is highly recommended; for Teen Snowboard Camp, lunch is not included. The Ski Biomechanics 4-Day Camp uses a science-based approach to skiing with instruction centered on awareness of natural functional skeletal alignment, Making Friends with Moguls uses proven exercises and progressions to help participants become comfortable on Blue level mogul runs, and the Silver Skier Program is for skiers 50 years and older in a small group setting with instructor guidance and coaching.
Teen Snowboard Camp sessions for the 2025–26 season run as full-day instruction from 9am–4pm on these 4-day blocks: New Year’s Camp from December 29–January 1, Presidents’ Day Camp from February 16–19, March Spring Break Camp #1 from March 9–12, and March Spring Break Camp #2 from March 16–19. Development Squad’s 2025–26 schedule includes an Open House on December 13, with the Saturday program on December 20; January 3, 10, 17, 24, 31; and February 7 and 21, and the Sunday program on December 21; January 4, 11, 18, 25; and February 1, 8, and 22. Women’s Weekend is offered as a 3-day camp in two sessions for 2025–26: Session #1 from January 30–February 1 and Session #2 from February 27–March 1, with a general schedule that includes a Day 0 meet and greet at 4:30pm, on-snow time starting at 9:00am, a group lunch at 12:00pm on Day 1, and on-snow days running 9:00am–4:00pm on Day 2 and 9:00am–3:00pm on Day 3 followed by a 3:30pm closing reception.
The Telluride Women’s Weekend was the first women-only ski program in Colorado and is now in its fourth decade, and it is offered as a women’s specific 3-day camp with small groups of women who have similar goals and skills, guided and taught by PSIA-certified female instructors. Instructor Bryton Maclennan holds PSIA Alpine Level 3, Children’s Specialist 2, and Children’s Trainer certifications and has stated that it is a delight to teach people how to enjoy the outdoors more and through that how to live life to the fullest. Instructor Tobin Behling is a certified PSIA Alpine 2 and Children’s Specialist 2 instructor, learned to ski on the Meadows ski run in Telluride at age 5, and also teaches mountain biking in the bike park during the summer months.
Development Squad instructor and Telluride Elementary School teacher Caroline McCrary has described helping students improve during D-Squad as the “cherry-on-top” to her role at the ski school and has noted that kids have a blast with their instructors and that she hears about their successes and adventures at school during the week. Telluride operates in partnership with the US Forest Service. Telluride has been recognized by OnTheSnow users as the Best Ski Resort in North America for the 2023–24 season and received the OnTheSnow 2022–23 Visitors’ Choice Award for Best All-Mountain Terrain.
