Devo Team

what is devo?

The BBNT Devo (development) team is the perfect fit for athletes in 6th grade or older who are ready to develop their cross-country skiing skills. 

We accommodate all skill levels, providing tailored training throughout the year.

In summer and fall, we focus on agility, technique, and fitness with great outdoor activities like hiking, running, mountain biking, and roller skiing.

In winter, we hit the snow, refining skills and having a blast on the trails.

Whether you're continuing from the Youth Rec program or new to skiing, there's a place for you.

There are a wide array of goals within the Devo team. Devo prepares athletes to join the Comp (competition) team in high school if they wish; however, plenty of athletes choose to stay with Devo through high school. You can’t age out of Devo, and there is absolutely no requirement to move up to Comp in 9th grade.

No ski experience is required to join Devo!
