Ski / Snowboard Race Team
STRIDE’s race team, run by certified ski coaches, is for athletes who want to take their skills to the next level. We help provide the advanced training needed in competitive adaptive skiing or snowboarding. Led by race coaches at both Ski Sundown and Jiminy Peak, students meet on the slopes for weekly practices and may travel to Level I sanctioned competitions including Special Olympics. By registering, you secure a spot for all practices and may receive a Race Team uniform jacket. The cost is the same as a lesson price, which includes racing techniques, course practice, and skill improvement. Generally, competitions do not have fees associated for athletes.Where: Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort, Hancock, MA and Ski Sundown, New Hartford, CT
When: JP: December- April, Saturdays am. SD: Thursday nights. Travel completion schedule TBD.
To register contact mevans@stride.org or 518-598-1279.
*A current (within a calendar year) STRIDE application must be on file to participate. STRIDE reserves the right to charge a full price cancellation fee if you make a reservation and then do not attend.
