This program is designed for athletes who want to participate in both cross-country and ski jumping.
Nordic combined skiing traces its roots back to the early days of ski history.
Most athletes taking part in early Olympic Winter Games competed in Nordic combined skiing and specialization into ski jumping only has evolved over the course of the last several Olympiads.

The ski jumping program is split between the small and large hill programs. The small hill program is primarily designed to train 6 to 13 year old children and the large hill program trains 14 year old and older athletes (subject to each individual athlete).
In both programs, participants are placed in groups according to their age and in some cases, their ability.
The program follows the recommended age classes as determined by the United States Ski & Snowboard Association.

Three levels of programming are available through the PCNSC: Kickers & Gliders, Team Devo and Elite. Both Kickers & Gliders and Team Devo are seasonal programs while the Elite Program offers training and competition throughout the entire year.
Kickers & Gliders targets boys and girls 6 – 11 years old and has a strong emphasis on learning through fun and games.
Team Devo athletes spend more ‘on time’ course skiing with a focus both on recreational and race components.
Elite Team athletes focus on training and race preparation.
