All Development Teams provide a safe and fun learning environment for children to improve and be challenged while exploring the whole mountain.
The daily schedule is based on 5.5 hours per day including up to 5 hours on-snow. Teams meet at 9:30am and pick up at 3:30pm at Blue Cow on each Program Sunday. Packed lunches can be brought to and kept at the Blue Cow Kid’s Lunchroom for the day. Parents wishing to drop off and pick up children from the Blue Cow meeting place are able to access the Skitube free of charge from Perisher Valley to Blue Cow and return during program days only. Development Team programs are not learn to ski/snowboard programs so minimum ability levels apply.
