"...development of technical ski racing skills to the racers' fullest potential while incorporating the characteristics of good sportsmanship", is the alpine program's overriding philosophy. Alpine offers two programs. For the young athlete just beginning a racing career, there is the J-Fast program. This is designed for advanced skiers who have participated in the BSF YSL or a comparable program for at least on , year. J-Fast places its emphasis on developing race techniques by skiing difficult terrain and conditions, and working on drills in and out of gates.

For athletes who are driven to further their racing careers, there is the Junior Alpine Team. This program provides physical training starting in the fall to help prevent injuries and to allow for optimum performance. On snow training, which begins as soon as resorts are open, concentrates on a blend of free skiing, drills, and gates. Technique (how to ski) and tactics (where to ski) are taught in tandem. Depending on age and ability, junior racers (and J-Fast skier) have the chance to travel to away-races. From beginning racers to regional level competitors, the alpine program provides training to help each individual improve and promotes a positive, quality sport experience.
