The Alpine Team
$825
Open to athletes age 7 to 18 who meet the basic ability requirements (must be able to load/unload the chairlift independently, must be able to link turns on all terrain at Wisp at a speed comparable to the rest of the age group, and additional requirements may apply for age 12+).
Provides training in a structured group setting that blends all mountain skiing, drill work, USSS SkillsQuest activities, and slalom and giant slalom training. Members of the Alpine Team enjoy training at Wisp Resort starting in December and running through early-March (weather permitting), plus they receive coaching at local (MD/PA) USSS events. Athletes who compete in USSS events may qualify for, and receive coaching at, PA State Championships.
Note: Alpine team members may be eligible for additional training and/or competition opportunities (i.e. PARA sponsored speed camps, USSS Eastern Region Championships, etc.), but coaching at those events is not covered by the Alpine Team membership fee.
Alpine Team registration closes on Jan. 5, 2025.
The Snowboard Team

Open to athletes age 7 to 18 who meet the basic ability requirements (must be able to load/unload the chair independently and carve linked turns on both heel and toe side at a speed that is comparable to the rest of the group).
Provides training in a structured group setting focused on developing freeride and freestyle skills. Members of the Snowboard Team enjoy training at Wisp Resort starting in December and running through mid-March (weather permitting).
Note: Snowboard team members may be eligible for additional training and/or competition opportunities (i.e. members may opt to participate in USASA Appalachian Series Events, and also may receive an invitation to compete at USASA Nationals). Costs associated with sending a coach to these events are not covered by the Snowboard Team membership fee. All families that wish to compete in events outside of normal practice hours must share the costs of sending a coach to those events.
