The Powder Ridge Ski Racing Program is committed to develop well-rounded athletes who exhibit exceptional technical skill, drive, and determination in an atmosphere of safe fun. Members will demonstrate the highest standards of teamwork and sportsmanship while competing in the Connecticut Youth Ski League (CYSL) and Tri-State Alpine Ski Racing Association (TSASRA). Race Team is a demanding program
, requiring significant commitment of time and resources. Members of the team are expected to attend every weekend practice, and optional weekday practices whenever possible. Practice begins in January, and the season can extend into March for racers who qualify for post-season competition. Travel for competition to other ski resorts is a necessity, as is membership in United States Ski and Snowboard Association (USSA), TSASRA and CYSL. The rewards of membership are significant! Team members receive outstanding coaching, resulting in significant improvements from season to season. Team members forge friendships with teammates and coaches that last a life time and learn to compete at the highest level while displaying unrivaled sportsmanship. All families who sign their child up will be asked to volunteer some time to help with racing events at Powder Ridge. Some of the volunteer positions will be gate keeping, timing, course maintenance, scoring, and registration. The Powder Ridge Race Team is a division of the Ski and Snowboard School at Powder Ridge, under the management of Director Tom Loring. We are currently interviewing coaching candidates and will be adding them based on team needs.
