The Olympic Dreams Project

THE FUTURE OF BUCK HILL SKI RACING

The Olympic Dreams Project aims to enhance training facilities for the Buck Hill Ski Racing Team, helping athletes achieve their ski racing dreams. Comprising three phases, the project aligns with our mission of inspiring athletes, supporting their journey with effort, grit, and courage. This collaboration between Buck Hill Resort, the Ski Racing Team, and the Booster Club focuses on creating the most advanced training facilities in the Midwest. The list of enhanced facilities includes a sports performance center and weight room, athlete lounge/common areas, and multiple media rooms and offices.
