Otis Ridge Interclub & Tri-State
An opportunity for young skiers to compete and have fun.
An opportunity for young skiers to compete and have fun. The Otis Ridge Race Program has been developing young ski racers from across the Tri-state area and beyond for over 30 years.
The program is open to a broad range of ages and levels, from skiers new to racing, to seasoned competitors. Our coaching and training approach looks to challenge young skiers while creating a joy for skiing and the outdoors. We aim to create a fun experience while developing skills, promoting sportsmanship, and creating a genuine sense of team.
The program begins the first weekend in January (snow/weather permitting) and runs through the second week in March. Practices are held on Saturdays and Sundays during the ski season, and our coaches are all certified by the United States Ski and Snowboard Association (USSA).
Readiness to join Ridge Racing: skiers looking to join our race program are expected to ride all area ski lifts on their own; ski down every run in control; and able to take their skis on and off while on the hill. If you have any questions about readiness, please schedule an on-snow evaluation with a coach or area instructor.
