An important update regarding St. Joseph’s College of Maine Alpine program
On June 3rd 2026, Co-Athletic Directors Mike McDevitt and Will Sanborn informed us that the St. Joseph’s College of Maine would no longer be offering an Alpine Ski Program effective immediately.
In an email addressed to our athletes, they cited the decision was made “following a careful evaluation of participation trends, operational costs and the long-term alignment of athletics resources with student participation.”
This announcement came as a complete shock to both the coaching staff and the athletes. The SJC Alpine Team has had a very successful run sense its inception in 2018 including qualifying and participating for USCSA National Championships every year sense 2022, with the exception of this season, and has received many USCSA Academic All-American Accolades. This season the Monks Alpine team brought home the USCSA Reynolds division title, and had several athletes rack up many podium places throughout the season. We are sad to see this chapter come to an end and wish nothing but the best for our current athletes and our alumni.
There are conversations being had between student athletes and school officials forming a club team through the school. Any questions or concerns should be directed to the following via email or sending a direct message to this page.
