Winter Term Program
Gould’s Winter Term program is for student-athletes who want to maximize their winter on snow and in the classroom.
Our exclusive program is for seventh- and eighth-grade student-athletes in Alpine, Freestyle/Freeride or Snowboarding. Student-athletes have the opportunity to be on snow every day. Gould has the best academics and training, all in one place.
Get a head start in learning to balance daily on-snow training with a strong academic program! The Winter Term program runs from mid-November through the end of competitions in March.
*For the 2025-2026 season, we look forward to welcoming seventh-graders as day students, while eighth-graders may continue enjoying the flexibility of boarding or day enrollment.
