Our new Junior Race Team is a Smashing Success...

Youth Ski Racers Find Success

With a strong contingent of young ski racers, the Whitefish Mountain Race Team has had success on and off the race course this year. The race team, which now includes a new Junior Program, consists of 40 racers age 6-18. This is by far the most racers Whitefish has sported in recent years. Head Coach Roy Loman and his superb staff of 6 coaches are thrilled and energized by this group of young kids.

The Junior Program emphasizes fun, participation and learning. Early season highlights included a 5-day Holiday Camp where skiers had tremendous results in pursuing a strong skiing foundation and had lots of fun along the way. Parent quote. The Tommy Moe Race Series, a low key season-long racing venue at Big Mountain, has enjoyed unprecedented numbers of skiers this year.

The USSA’s Northern Division Youth Ski League(YSL) offers young Montana skiers the opportunity to compete around the state and gain competitive experience, build teamwork, and make new friends. Whitefish skiers have made their mark this year at WMR, Bridger Bowl, and Showdown and will soon have opportunities at SnowBowl and Red Lodge. These kids are making remarkable progress each time they travel. Not only are they developing a lifetime love for skiing but are also learning valuable life skills.
