Update 10/7/14: Drylands are in full swing! We are holding informal drylands on Thursdays at 7PM on Nickerson field, as well as formal drylands lead by a FitRec trainer at the TTC on Tuesdays.  If you have any questions about practices, visit our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/bostonuniversityskiteam) or contact an officer.

—————

The Boston University Ski Team is a competitive club team in the USCSA Thompson Division. We hold dryland practices during the fall semester, a week of  race training in Quebec during winter break, and then compete in the USCSA Eastern Thompson Division’s regular season during spring semester.

We accept racers of all abilities, including those who have never raced before, although you must be a competent skier and have access to your own equipment for the season.

Each season is composed of five league races, one regional competition, and nationals.  We race in Vermont, Maine, and New Hampshire.  While race locations vary by year, past races have been held at Sunday River, Cochran’s, Mt. Abram, Bromley, Darmouth Skiway, Cranmore and Sugarloaf.
