Our march forward continues, all the challenges and opportunities are a part of the daily fabric in February, particularly at Snowbird.  There are many great results, highlights and happenings noted below, so I will be brief.

Goals are being realized in many cases, and so are disappointments.  I am reminded of the fact that both are part of the journey, and that youcan’t have one without the other.  I am going to offer some advice; Embrace both.  Don’t have a singular outcome in mind, but rather a possibility and a goal, and a growth mindset.  In both skiing and life the small failures help us learn so that we can avoid making the same mistakes, and are a tool to avoid larger failures and set us up for long-term success.  The path is difficult, and the journey is the true prize.  Nobody has the patent on success, but we all have a chance, an opportunity to reach our goals.  And in the process gain a greater understanding of what really matters. 

The season goes quick, grab the moment!

I want to mention that we are through about two-thirds of our hosted races and events.  The improved race venue has been awesome!  Our events have a reputation of being very good, and really fun.  This is because of the community of staff & volunteers teaming up with support from Snowbird Ops, sponsors, & donors to make these events happen.  The athletes and parents bring the fun and great skiing!  I am always humbled to be a part of it.  Thank you.

Waitlist is Open:

Do you have friends or family that want to join our team? The waitlist for the 2025-26 season is now OPEN! All siblings who are currently not on the team must join the waitlist (so we have accurate numbers to work with). Also, any alpine athletes wishing to transfer to Freeride, or vice versa, should join the waitlist to get a tryout slot.
If you have questions, please ask! If you are a current team member, and continuing on the track you currently are on, there is no need to join the waitlist, your spot will be reserved during registration week.
