The MSSRT Intro to Racing programs’ focus is on building fundamental skiing skills, skiing the whole mountain with confidence, and introducing athletes to gate training. In addition to directed free-skiing and exploring the mountain, this program exposes athletes to a variety of training environments. Our experienced coaching staff will introduce the athletes to ski racing while maintaining an emphasis on skill development and fun!

ABILITY REQUIREMENTS

Athletes should be able to ski intermediate terrain. The athletes must be able to independently load the lift, use the restroom, and put on and take off their skis.

EQUIPMENT

One pair all-mountain or junior race skis is sufficient. Powder skis and twin tips will inhibit skill development and are not recommended. Helmets, goggles and poles are required. Boots are the most important component of your equipment. It is very important that the athletes can flex the boots easily and that the boots are not too big. Oversized boots and boots that are too stiff are the most common constraints to skill development in young athletes. Our coaches and staff are available to answer equipment questions.
