Three generations of skiers and boarders have made Caledon Ski
Club their winter playground. We have the terrain, the facilities and
the instruction to suit every member of your family, whether you are
sliding the slopes together, or each doing your own thing.
Caledon members have access to some of Canada’s best instructors
and coaches. We offer expert training in both downhill skiing and
snow boarding. Even the most seasoned family member can pick up
a new skill or improve a technique that will add enjoyment to their
day at the club.
Professional instruction is tailored to all age groups with full racing
programs available from youth to adult. Caledon has produced some
great racers who have made their mark nationally and internationally.
This catalogue contains all of the information you need to register

Fantastic terrain, fun and knowledgeable instructors make Caledon Ski Club a great choice for every member of the family. We offer expert training for all ages in Alpine Skiing, Snowboarding, Freestyle and even Telemark! The Alpine Development Program has made some significant changes to our calendar and program offerings this year that we’d like to share with you.
As a result of the change to the calendar for the Ontario Public School system we are starting the March Break ski programs on Monday, March 16. This change has had an impact with a few of the governing sport bodies that we work with. Alpine Ontario will have races scheduled for the weekend of Feb 28th and March 1st which has traditionally been the date for the Club Championships. Freestyle Ontario and Association of Ontario Snowboarders will also be running programs during this weekend. Therefore, Caledon like most, will be running our Club Champs on March 7 and 8.
Race Programs with teams that travel to away races under AOA sanctions (U12, U14, U16 and U18) will now be a nine week program running from January 3rd to March 1, 2015. The U10, U10 COMBI and Youth House League programs will remain as eight week programs ending on Feb 21 and Feb 22. The Recreation and Snowboard programs will also start on January 3 or January 4 and run for eight weeks ending on February 21 or February 22. What this scheduling allows us to do is create a Festival Weekend of Activities for those kids in the eight week programs which will be held the weekend of February 28 and March 1. We will have events and opportunities for kids to try the many different aspects of the programs that we offer. A lunch voucher will be included for the kids to enjoy a full and fun day for this event. We are looking forward to another competitive season at Caledon Ski Club. Our U10 day and a half program was very successful last season and we will continue to offer this as it is excellent preparation for the U12 circuit. We have expanded our one day programs to make Youth House League and our new U10 Combi program (previously known as Free Race) available on both Saturday and Sunday. The U10 Combi program will include elements of learning park skiing along with an introduction to racing. This comprehensive program allows our young skiers the opportunity to develop their skills across a broader spectrum of skiing and to provide more opportunities for them in the future.
Our Adult Race Training programs will be up and running again with an emphasis on advanced skiing and an opportunity to get into gates on a regular basis. We would like to have more Caledon adults join our exciting Adult House League on Sunday afternoons. The team concept is what is most important in AHL, so why not come out and give it a try this season! As introduced in our new website last year, program information and registration is easily accessible with your Member Login. We look forward to seeing you at the Ski Swap on October 19 and then on the snow!

In order to teach or coach skiing or snowboarding anywhere in Canada you must first become certified by one of our governing bodies.
Ski Instructors are certified by the Canadian Ski Instructors Alliance (CSIA). There are currently over 20000 members from coast to coast. Snowboard Instructors are certified by the Canadian Association of Snowboard Instructors (CASI).
Ski Coaches are certified by the Canadian Ski Coaches Federation (CSCF).
A large majority of the staff that works at Caledon and across the country have dual certification in CSIA and CSCF. There are a growing number of people that are dual certified by CASI and CSIA. These people are very valuable to teaching programs as they offer more versatility.
Caledon hosts Level 1 courses in all three disciplines every year at the beginning of the season and at the end of the season. They are typically three days long.
Requirements to successfully complete the course are:
You must be 15 years of age by the end of the course.There are minimum standards of skill required for the skiing and teaching
components. You will receive the teaching information on course that will be sufficient to be successful; however you should be at or above the level of snowboarding or skiing prior to taking the course. Anyone interested in becoming an instructor is encouraged to come to the ski school or race office to set up a complimentary evaluation of their ability as it pertains to the standard of CSIA, CSCF or CASI. We have staff at Caledon that are certified to teach up to CSIA Level 3, CASI and CSCF Level 2 courses.
If you are 13 or 14 years of age this season look for our Leaders In Training program to prepare to become an instructor.

There is no charge and the stickers must be renewed every year!
Play it safe when you use the park. Read up and GET SMART!
Make A Plan
• Every time you use freestyle terrain, make a plan for each feature you want to use.
• Your speed, approach and take off will directly affect your manoeuvre and landing.
Look Before You Leap
• Before getting into freestyle terrain observe all signage and warnings.
• Scope around the jumps first, not over them.
• Use your first run as a warm up run, and to familiarize yourself with the terrain.
• Be aware that the features change constantly due to weather, usage, grooming and time of day.
• Do not jump blindly and use a spotter when necessary. Know your landings are clear and clear yourself out of the landing area.
Easy Style It
• Know your limits and ski/ride within your ability level.
• Start small and work your way up.
• Inverted aerials not allowed in the Caledon Terrain Park.
Respect Gets Respect
• From the lift line through the park.
• Respect the terrain and others.
• One person on a feature at a time.
• Wait your turn and call your start.
• Always clear the landing area quickly.
