Mission
The Wachusett Mountain Race Team will provide excellent alpine race programs, coaching, competition, and support in a cost and time-effective manner. Our primary focus is to develop strong base level skills to allow the skiers to competently participate at USSA club level ski races while promoting self-esteem, good sportsmanship, and team cooperation. The WMRT skier will develop a long-term enjoyment of alpine racing along with competitive and technical skills to enable them to compete at a collegiate level if so desired.
Training
Our organized sessions are focused on the mastery of alpine skiing fundamentals and race preparation. Individual attention within a group setting is our priority.
Participants will have the opportunity to race at home and away. Our ski racers join USSA and will race in skill-appropriate age group competitions. Our junior alpine race training prepares young athletes to qualify for local, state, regional, and even international levels of competition.
Coaches
We feature a certified staff of USSCA and PSIA coaches. The team of alpine racing coaches provides successfully proven organized training schemes. We hire and maintain a paid, professional staff, offering a refreshing balance of youthful enthusiasm, knowledge, and maturity. Utilizing modern training methodologies and techniques, our staff offers the leadership, experience, and knowledge to assist every athlete, at every level.
Volunteering
At WMRT, everyone has the opportunity to be involved. Socialize with parents and coaches on the mountain and on breaks. There's a volunteer opportunity for every skill experience level for ski races at the home mountain, from registration to live race timing.
