One of the absolute best perks of living in the mountains of Western Maine is the direct access our student-racers have to our strategic partner Sunday River Resort – New England’s second largest ski resort.

Five days a week our Dev Alpine Team heads to Sunday River to our Kailey Competition Center, which is shared between Dev Alpine, Dev Snowboard, and the Gould Academy Competition Program teams. There, our Dev Alpine Team gain valuable experience due to immediate slopeside access to dedicated training and race terrain. The Dev Alpine Team practices basic racing techniques and course skills, including freeskiing drills meant to develop fundamental ski techniques, and gate training drills intended to develop technique and incorporates tactical skills.

Gould’s DevAlpine Team competes within the Maine Prep School league (MAISAD) with competitions at Sunday River and nearby ski areas. In 2015, Gould’s DevAlpine Team took home the MAISAD Championship.
