SKI RACE CLUB IS GROWING  

The primary purpose of the SaddleBack Ski Club (SBSC) is to provide a high level of technical and tactical skiing skills for intermediate and above skiers aged 8-18. It is a complete team effort that involves professionally certified and experienced coaches, athletes, parents and mountain management. As a US Skiing Association (USSA) and Maine Alpine Racing Association (MARA) member club, the SBSC promotes competitive ski racing. We provide an environment where young athletes learn the sport of ski racing in an enjoyable, supportive manner that encourages personal growth and fulfillment, not only as athletes, but as human beings. For more information, contact Program Director Ron Bonnevie:  ron.bonnevie@gmail.com
