“Cultivating a Culture of Success, Performance and High Standards”
The Buck Hill Ski Racing Team is a performance driven program backed by exceptional coaching, a culture of achievement and organizational collaboration to provide best in class training, coaching and support to develop top-level athletes competing at the regional, national, and international level.
The Buck Hill Ski Racing Team focuses on inspiring and empowering athletes through the creation of a positive and enthusiastic training environment while focusing on fundamentals and skill development to build the foundation for success. The Program is led by some of the most experienced, dedicated, and successful coaches in the country who have developed into some of the best athletes in the nation.
In 2008 the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Association recognized teh Buck Hill Ski Racing Team as the Ski Racing Team of the Year and in 2014, it received the first Gold Club Certification in the Midwest. This designation is reserved for only the top 10% podium clubs and is intended for clubs that are “Best in the World” – those clubs that are financially stable, exhibit consistent athletic success and serve as a model, both organizationally and athletically, for other member clubs.
Team Partnership
The Buck Hill Ski Racing Team’s dedicated partnership is comprised of the executive director and coaches, the Buck Hill Ski Racing Club, and The Buck Hill Ski Resort.
Working together, the partners advance and maintain the Buck Hill Ski Racing Team as the premier junior alpine racing team in the country. We are grateful and proud of the contribution and efforts made by the Buck Hill Ski Racing Team community.

Buck Hill Ski Racing Club
The Buck Hill Ski Racing Club, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is a fundraising and support entity formed to support the very best in ski race training and development for our athletes. With the generous contributions of our sponsors, member volunteers, and donations from alumni and the ski racing community, each member benefits from our youth programs up to the FIS level and the US Ski Team. The Club also provides funding for scholarships, special equipment needs, camps, and out-of-division training expenses such as car rental, airline tickets, and hotels. These extra expenses far exceed the fees paid by team members.
Buck Hill Resort
The Buck Hill Ski Resort provides our dedicated training venue, and it carefully prepares our race training facility with first class snowmaking and grooming. The Buck Hill Ski Resort also provides our club room for athletes and maintains the rope tow, lifts, and the best equipment for on-site training.
Gold Certified Club
The Buck Hill Ski Racing Club has held the Gold Certified Club status, the highest level of Club Certification awarded by U.S. Ski & Snowboard, since 2014. Buck Hill was the first club in the Midwest to achieve this honor.
The Buck Hill Ski Racing Club was recognized nationally as the “Club of the Year” in 2008!
