Screaming Eagles is a season-long program that meets at the Mountain Sports Center at the base of the Yodeler Slope.  Screaming Eagles meet every weekend beginning Saturday Dec 19, 2009 through Sunday March 14, 2010. They will also meet during Christmas week, exact dates to be determined.

Screaming Eagles is a program geared toward the young skier/rider who is undecided or does not yet wish to compete on the Holiday Valley Race, Freestyle or Snowboard Teams. The Eagles will continue to grow and improve in their skiing skills and be part of the “mountain experience”. During the season, Eagles may be exposed to and coached in their skills in alpine racing, terrain park features, skiing bumps/steeps/powder using all terrain in all conditions all the time. The goal is to give Eagles the skills to ski ably and safely in all situations at Holiday Valley Resort or most any mountain they may venture to.

They will learn and live the Your Responsibility Code and will learn about all the aspects of the “mountain adventure”. They may have a day of cross-country/ telemark skiing. They may ski a day with any of Holiday Valley's successful competitive teams to see if they would like to join. They may experience a day in the Life of a Snowmaker or Groomer if time permits. What ever the focus for the day, the goal is safety awareness at all times and fun on the mountain, with a large dose of learning, camaraderie and smiles thrown in.

This season, the program will be lead by Jennifer Courtney, who brings 20 years of experience in working with young people as a ski teacher/coach at Holiday Valley and Buffalo Ski Club. Jen is also a Physical Education Teacher and a Lacrosse and Soccer Coach at Williamsville.

Miguel Azcarate – Director of the  Mountain Sports Center, and  Ron Kubicki – Director of the Holiday Valley Snowsports School are pleased and excited to have Jennifer rejoin our staff, we are confident Jennifer will carry on and add to the long-successful and exciting history of the Screaming Eagles program.
