Our nationally recognized full time alpine program (age 13-21, High School) is designed for athlete participation in USSA and FIS events. Juniors compete in the Northwest Cup series, Junior Olympic qualifiers and Western Region FIS events. Full-time athletes benefit from the expertise of MBSEF’s USSCA certified staff. Coaches coordinate five to six days per week of on-snow and dryland training aimed at developing each athlete to their fullest potential. Our staff aids in the selection and maintenance of equipment and helps athletes manage their race starts and travel schedules. MBSEF staff travel to divisional, regional and national races providing race support to ensure top performance. Many of the athletes have enjoyed success at the regional and national levels. In addition, the MBSEF Alpine Team has had many athletes named to the US Ski Team and awarded college scholarships at NCAA schools. Full-time training is offered to USSA experienced athletes in high school.

Our nationally recognized alpine programs are designed for athlete participation in USSA and FIS events. The Summer Training Program is designed for members age 13+ who want more training and to stay active over the summer.  Younger athletes must have coach approval.  Physical fitness is the foundation of elite skiing performance.  The U.S. Ski Team’s success rate is directly related to their strength training regiment.  Fatigue plays a major role in not only performance, but in causing injury.  Summer Training will keep you strong and fit, and ready for the upcoming ski season.
