Welcome to the Polar Bear Ski Club! The Polar Bear Ski Club program is held after school. The Club sponsors a weekend racing program for Alpine, Nordic, and Biathlon skiers. The races are both home and away at other mountains. For a listing of races click on schedules on this site.

Listed below are a few things to know as a parent of a ski-racing child:

• There are three competing teams: Alpine, Nordic, and Biathlon.
  A child may compete on more than one team.
• Racers are responsible for of ALL their own equipment. Coaches will give a more specific inventory of equipment needed.
• Racers are responsible for their own transportation both to and from practice and races.
• A Polar Bear Ski Club family membership must be purchased for $100.00 by November 14th. Any athlete who is not a member of the Polar Bear Ski Club may NOT participate in any practice (dry land or snow) for insurance purposes. The membership fee is used to offset operational expenses such as:
• Insurance
• Radio
• Fencing
• Administration
• Candy & Lollipops
• Wax and waxing equipment
• Timing equipment
• Gates
• Copies of race results
• A coaching fee is also required. This fee is to aid in the salary of the coaches. A child may compete in more than one discipline, but only one coaching fee is required. Coaches will attend all races.
  The fees are $45.00 for the first child, $40.00 for the second child, $100.00 maximum per family.
