Sugar Bowl Teams
Sugar Bowl has had a rich and storied history in the sport of ski racing. From the famed Silver Belt race to the US National Alpine Championships Sugar Bowl has always been a place where the best in the world love to compete. From Sugar Bowl Ambassador and World Champion Daron Rahlves to the legendary Mahre brothers or the likes of Stein Ericksen or Billy the Kidd “The Bowl” has always been a place for the best in the world to compete.

With the new addition of our Snowboard Team, Sugar Bowl is the perfect place to bring the family. Our Snowboard team is a developmental group that offers coaching to kids from the ages 7-18. This program is to focus on the development of youth snowboarders in all terrain to make strong talented athletes.
Ski Team
Sugar Bowl Ski Team
The highly successful Sugar Bowl Ski Team provides freeride and ski racing programs for children as young as 5 years old and up as well as a racing program for adults. While alumni include U.S. Ski Team members and they had nearly 40 athletes compete in various Junior Olympic events last season, their main objective is to provide a fun environment for kids to learn to love the sport of skiing. They emphasize character development and recently received a national honor from the Positive Coaching Alliance (link). Further information and a wait-list application available at www.sbst.org.

A Practice Day
Warm-up activities to start the day and get the blood flowing. This is followed up with stretching and range of motion activities, on and off the hill. As balance is one of the keys to success, the training activities have a large focus on centering activities to improve team member’s abilities to balance. Team members learn responsibility by keeping themselves and fellow team members safe in challenging environments. With a team lunch break in the middle of the day, team members and coaches get time to sit and discuss different topics. In the afternoon the team continues athletic activities with a focus on team member’s goals and the steps necessary to achieve these goals.

Athletes wishing to compete receive training to assist them in their endeavors and at times will be accompanied by a coach to local competitions. **Competition expenses are not included in enrollment fees.

Training Dates
The team meets on weekends from December through April and some holiday week days. The team practices last all day; 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM Attending all scheduled practice days is not required nor expected. That is why there are so many days scheduled. *All practice days are weather permitting.
